Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Cisco Intersight has valuable features for workflow automation and inventory administration.""We enjoy having an inside view of all the data centers and all the EdgeX nodes within a single portal rather than going into the EdgeX connections one by one.""I like Intersight because of the integration with HashiCorp, Kubernetes, and each cloud because Intersight is the IO module.""Scalable portfolio of services for remote device management, with good cloud integration. It's also easy to set up.""Our organization uses Cisco Intersight since it helps manage our physical infrastructure.""The product has good integration.""Intersight can validate our environment.""The tool helps to manage Cisco servers."

More Cisco Intersight Pros →

"​The stability is very good. I have never had an issue with it over the three years that I have been using it.""Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services.""Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features.""Provides the strongest support for automation.""​We cannot function without this solution. ​""It monitors all our servers, and if there is any problem it straight away sends us an alert. If It's a faulty component, we can see it from there. It sends an alert.""The remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good.""The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."

Cons
"Cisco Intersight needs some improvement in terms of stability. Hybrid cloud management and proper hyperscaler tie-up are other areas for improvement.""When new features are added, the service becomes full of bugs.""The solution needs some enhancement in order to build the cluster in two nodes.""In the future, the solution needs to plan on an extension to cover a broader range of objects since, at present, there are some Cisco devices within the range of Intersight UCS that it can't manage.""The usability must be better.""It's a very complex solution.""An area for improvement in Cisco Intersight is automation. It needs more automation capabilities. Apart from enhanced automation, I want Cisco Intersight to integrate with third-party monitoring tools in its next release.""The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players."

More Cisco Intersight Cons →

"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.""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.""I think HPE could make more user-friendly interfaces, exclude Java and move to an HTML5 platform, make more detailed documentation, and lower the price.""Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster.""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.""Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView.""The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface.""​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."

  • "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."
  • "​Use it. It is free."
  • "​I am happy with the price."
  • "HPE could lower the price."
  • "I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
  • "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."
  • "Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
  • "This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
