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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Deploys faster new virtual services."
"Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."
"The hypervisor and cluster profiles make it easy to integrate with VMware."
"Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards."
"The easy user interface was what I found most valuable in HPE OneView. For example, if I wanted to know the infrastructure status or I needed to send in any change commands, HPE OneView had simple buttons."
"The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."
"The solution is very capable and user friendly."
"It helps streamline management and processes."
"It is a product that is familiar for a lot of users."
"Has service mapping, impact management, metric intelligence and health of analytics."
"The most valuable feature of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is the user interface."
"The solution is saving time by providing templates, reducing duplication in rule configuration, and offering efficient alert management."
"The most valuable features of the solution are discovery, cloud governance, event management, and service mapping."
"Their Event Management is very good."
 

Cons

"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"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."
"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."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement."
"The solution's console can be improved by making it more user-friendly and adding the capability to filter the reports out using only the information required."
"The main problem that we run into, as far as stability goes, is when something loses its profile. Sometimes it requires jumping through a number of "hoops" to really get it back."
"We've had a few issues. We just upgraded to the 3.9.0 version. We think that now that we are on that version, hopefully a lot of those things are going to go away for us."
"The time for deployment of ServiceNow IT Operations Management depends on many factors. It's a SaaS application, it should not take too long, but if you want to define the tool based on your processes, then it would take some time. It fully depends on the company's complexity. There are out-of-the-box product flows and if you want to use them, you can from day one. However, if you want to customize it and change it to your company's practices, then it will take more time. The setup could be faster."
"The product needs to add a workflow insight tool."
"There is room for improvement in service mapping within ServiceNow ITOM. When we have more time, we'll look to extend that and apply it to business-critical services like email."
"ServiceNow could be more prescriptive on how customers can leverage some of the benefits."
"It should have better integrations with other solutions."
"The solution's subscription model could be improved."
"The pattern part can be improved. Patterns are used in the Discovery feature. Although it is easy to create new patterns and modify the existing ones, it would be better if this solution can have more out-of-the-box patterns. In terms of new features, they can include artificial intelligence, something like machine learning."
"The tool can be improved by including more detailed information to assist new users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HPE had some other solutions, but they were actually quite expensive to buy. So, when OneView came along, it was kind of reasonable in terms of price for licenses, etc."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"​Use it. It is free."
"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."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"​I am happy with the price."
"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
"It is moderately expensive. The pricing itself and the licensing options are depending on the model and the customization."
"There are additional costs, you have to pay more for everything."
"This solution offers good value but comes at a very high premium. Pricing could be reduced by 10 to 20%."
"We obtained discovery licenses at about seven dollars Australian per unit, which we found to be reasonable and competitive."
"The solution is costly compared to the products offered by its competitors."
"The cost of ServiceNow is much higher."
"While not entirely sure, I believe the solution costs at least a million dollars annually."
