The gui is really useful to do many things. We are a compliance team that hace a reduce user con this platform that they are using on its monsthly technical audit. Ther are very happy with SIM. In the other hand, they are a sysadmin teams that usually use SIM all of day to detect a reporte to HPE Technical Support for hardware fail. All of then are on the moon with SIM.

The project of deploy SIM in our company came from one project to buy HPE Hardware and sevice for Data Center.Fastly we knew that the potenciality of this product over the new HPE's servers, switches and storages.Nowaday, our Data Centers have device from different vendors like Lenovo, Dell and HPE. For example we have Dell OpenManage for managing Dell Powereldge servers. And in comparative with SIM is useless for no technical user.

Return on Investment
Hewlett Packard Enterprise
  • Since this software is free if you buy HP hardware the cost is nothing which is nice for cash strapped businesses.
  • This software has a somewhat difficult time handling large environments where systems are not configured perfectly for this software.
  • I would always recommend having multiples of this software installed for redundancy because generally unless it and the environment is properly configured it can require maintenance.
