OpenMange Manages
OpenManage [Integration for VMware vCenter] helped [our] team centralize the management of our dell devices such as Dell Switches and Dell ESXi hosts and Servers. By the help of this portal we can see and monitor all our deployed devices across our branches. It help us to oversee deployed servers and see the device details.
- Monitoring all deployed dell devices
- Update your devices firmware thru this platform
- Centralized management of the enrolled devices
- Response time is slowed down when too many devices are enrolled
- User management to allow or limit access per user
- Push down approach update to all enroll or selected devices
- Centralized Management
- Monitoring devices
- This is very useful if you have dell products
- Not suitable for other vendor
The IT department uses this and I use it every few months. It makes keeping the firmware updates on my hosts easier to manage.
- Keep Dell Firmware up to date
- Alerts on Dell-specific items
- Hard to keep it updated and doesn't stay current with new VMware releases
- Very difficult to open a ticket since it does not have a service tag
- Helps ensure all the hosts are running equal firmware which aids in less troubleshooting time
- I can't use this with my 6.5 hosts since it is not supported yet
I'm not sure any other product can interact and update Dell hardware firmware other than this one. I think it should be free if you own Dell hardware, but the cost is minimal.

Easy Management
We use it to Simplify and automate management of servers across our network here in Denver. It allows us to much more easily manage the hardware and automate things to prevent downtime and constant maintenance, which helps give us better uptime, as well as provide our staff with a bit more time to work on other projects.
- manage full server infrastructure
- virtualization
- system alerts and updates
- GUI
- user friendly
- single sign-on capabilities
- open source
- better online chat support for help with issues
- less staff time spent managing servers
- better uptime due to alerts
- reliability
- Zerto Virtual Replication and SolarWinds Log & Event Manager
I have never used either of the two above-listed competitors, but we have sold both of them where customers find them to be a better fit. I've gotten to know the products fairly well this way, despite never using them myself. I think they're pretty similar. Zerto is definitely an up-and-comer who is making some pretty big waves in this place.
OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter was being used by our IT department in our ESXi server infrastructure to manage hardware monitoring of the Dell servers running our virtualized environment. Its most important function was planning and implementation of firmware upgrades and patches for the Dell servers running the virtualized environment.
- Firmware updates
- Hardware status
- Hardware summary reporting
- Very basic functionality
- Could benefit from being more detailed and flexible
- OpenManage has saved us time by making the upgrade process more efficent
- OpenManage has saved us downtime by allowing us to keep parts of our environment running while doing upgrades
OpenManage is a great utility if you are running Dell hardware in an ESXi environment. A similar product would be Nutanix Acropolis, but it is not a replacement for OpenManage as both are specific to the hypervisor you are running, and OpenManage is specific to Dell hardware. I'm not sure there is an alternative to OpenManage for Dell ESXi environments, but if there is, it would be difficult to be competitive with their cost.
