Meets the needs of the customer but all of the features need improvement
I do not choose the solution. The client does. I am an implementer. We are systems integrators. It is worth mentioning that the solution should be easy to install and offer the user exhibition capabilities. Also, a data sheet should be used to gather information about the product, to facilitate easy and simple implementation. I rate CA Unified Communications Monitor as a five out of ten.

Sr. Systems Engineer at a media company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Efficient management and upgrades streamline complex setups
My main complaint is about the blades on the frames, which seem to have a lot of problems. We often have to call HPE for replacements, such as for memory. Constant issues arise, leading to frequent replacement of blade parts. Additionally, the upgrade process is lengthy, requiring careful planning as we cannot match ESXi versions without aligning OneView first, leading to delays.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For us, it's very key to know the voice quality of the total solution, which is based on many components across many domains."
"Good end-to-end monitoring"
"We use the solution to meet the needs of the customer."
"Go ahead and do it. It gives you that one-pane-of-glass and makes life a lot easier than trying to go into each server and seeing what's going on."
"OneView is the one tool where you can manage your build environment, the hyper-converged environment, or the Synergy environment yourself."
"OneView allowed us to accelerate the base configuration far faster and more accurately than ever before with manual configuration procedures."
"The single pane-of-glass and unified API allows you to handle everything from one single interface."
"I would definitely advise them to work with HPE."
"Overall, the product is very good."
"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."
"It catches physical issues with the servers and will fix them, if possible, and, if not, alert us before they become a problem."
 

Cons

"The solution should have automatic baseline detection."
"All the features and functions of the solution can be improved, specifically the user experience."
"There is a lot of automated stuff in there, but we'd like to step into the middle of that and bring in our own different tools as a part of that integration."
"From the dashboard and reporting perspective, HPE OneView could be improved by having multiple modules rather than just a single customization option."
"Probably one of the missing features is a help tool of the system from our point of view, that can be given to the customer and to us."
"The setup was very complex, but it wasn't always complex."
"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."
"There are some portions of OneView that don't work with 3PAR, well actually it's parts of 3PAR that don't work with OneView."
"In OneView, we only have the web interface to check the switch. It lacks flexibility."
"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"​Use it. It is free."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"​I am happy with the price."
"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."
"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."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
