Provides firmware compliance and the ability to connect to iPO
I've been involved in various upgrades. It's pretty easy to set up with vCenter. We just push out an appliance template in vCenter. We run ours on virtual servers. Deployment can be done by just one person. The number of people needed for maintenance will depend on your server inventory. If you have more than 100 servers, you will need three to five people. If you have 500 to 1,000 servers, you will need a team of 10 to 20 people.

Effortlessly blends management systems for comprehensive infrastructure insight
ServiceNow IT Operations Management brought together Intune and SCCM or MECM really well. It provided out-of-the-box integrations, requiring only minimal effort, typically a couple of days, to massage those systems into a seamless operation. Additionally, the performance analytics of ServiceNow was especially beneficial for setting thresholds, aggregating, and correlating infrastructure data.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services."
"Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features."
"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."
"​The stability is very good. I have never had an issue with it over the three years that I have been using it."
"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."
"The hypervisor and cluster profiles make it easy to integrate with VMware."
"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
"The template management makes the deployment of the firmware updates much faster."
"As a product, ServiceNow IT Operations Management is pretty strong, and it can discover non-IP devices."
"I like the solution due to the fact that it's scalable."
"It is a stable solution. I have not experienced any system outages during my time using the solution."
"It's easy to set up."
"Has service mapping, impact management, metric intelligence and health of analytics."
"It is flexible. You can tune it, more or less, as you want."
"The auto remediation feature has been most valuable. They have also introduced an AOP feature of ServiceNow that we are keen to explore."
"It includes a valuable feature called Discovery, that aids in application portfolio management, enabling visibility into IT infrastructure from top to bottom."
 

Cons

"We ran into a couple of issues here and there with the baselines for the firmware and not having enough space on the appliance itself to be able to have more than two baselines."
"It's a little slow sometimes. Overall, I think it does what it's supposed to do. I think that as they evolve it, it'll get quicker."
"I would like to see support for things that aren't in the current generation. We have a lot of 7th and 8th generation hardware."
"​Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product​, even when asked simplistic questions."
"​I saw, maybe three years ago or two years ago here, or in Barcelona, at the HPE Discover conference, a feature that you can update Clusterware with VMware. But the feature is still not live in production. Currently, you have to do all the firmware updates and then you have to do the VMware updates. So you have two reboots and it would be better if it was just one."
"It would be better if we can add every HPE device to OneView, such as MSA, as well as the other servers like the DL server and ML server."
"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"The tool doesn't send automated alerts via email...We should be able to receive notification emails when a server or hardware issue arises, which would be helpful if someone is unavailable in the office."
"An area for improvement for ServiceNow IT Operations Management is making service mapping and discovery easier for non-IP devices."
"At times, it got cumbersome from the project management perspective. It could have been because of the way we were using it. I found Microsoft Project to be more extensive and robust than ITOM."
"There are some limitations with Discovery; some areas are not available in the installation. I would like the solution to be able to discover more devices. That will remove the need to have multiple tools."
"The pricing of some modules is higher because they are sold in packages. If we need something specific, we cannot take it individually."
"I would like more manual issues to have automated report-facing options."
"There is a slower learning curve associated with the tool's scripting part. It is also not cheap."
"The solution's subscription model could be improved."
"Service mapping is pretty limited."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​I am happy with the price."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"The solution is free to use, but if you want the management aspect you require a virtual machine such as C7000 or Synergy which require licenses."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"When it comes to the government, money is never an issue, so it was excellent in terms of the HPE OneView licensing cost. Hitachi was cheaper, but I'd rate HPE OneView cost-wise as eight out of ten."
"HPE could lower the price."
"The solution is costly compared to the products offered by its competitors."
"My customers pay for the ServiceNow IT Operations Management license annually. I'd rate the pricing based on value. ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a premium product as it has better features than competitors."
"We obtained discovery licenses at about seven dollars Australian per unit, which we found to be reasonable and competitive."
"The price of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is expensive."
"This solution offers good value but comes at a very high premium. Pricing could be reduced by 10 to 20%."
"It has different subscription models."
"It is moderately expensive. The pricing itself and the licensing options are depending on the model and the customization."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten since there are vendors who are cheaper."
