Trevor Watkins - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Iqbal Khowaja - PeerSpot reviewer
Has a simple user interface and end-to-end monitoring and self-healing features
My organization uses many application performance management solutions, such as AppDynamics, New Relic APM, Splunk, and Datadog. I'm the CTO for the state of Hawaii, and across the board, different departments use different APM tools. I'm using the latest version of New Relic APM, but I cannot recall the exact version. My company has a dozen engineers using and monitoring New Relic APM. I'd tell anyone planning to use New Relic APM that it has to fit what you have. For example, most of my company's payload is in AWS, and the tool has adopters and features that CloudWatch cannot provide. Still, New Relic APM can, so you should do a demo or trial run first and see if it's a tool that'll help you with end-to-end monitoring. New Relic APM is working well for my company, so an excellent way to start is to do a trial run to see how the tool works out for your current applications. My rating for the tool is nine out of ten because my experience with it has been great. New Relic also worked closely with my company and has always been upfront on what's available and what's not. My company is a New Relic APM customer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."
"Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features."
"We also have the 3PAR and the GUI is almost the same. So the recognition is very good."
"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."
"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
"We have the dashboard up on a big screen, and you can actually see when things go wrong or if there are any faults with any of the servers. The backup is automated as well, so the appliance is quite good.​"
"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 best part is that you can integrate a two-way network. Earlier we could not manage the storage and ToR switch. Now we can create a LAN with our storage without any interface. In terms of switch management, it is now easy to understand the current configuration. It provides centralized management. It provides a single pane, and you can easily do all updates in one shot. It is a great product."
"As New Relic is already integrated with Drupal, we can get our projects done with best practice and with the best value that we believe in."
"The most valuable features are infrastructure monitoring and application performance monitoring (APM)."
"It has in-depth analysis using developer code for someone whose not traditionally a developer."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to manage the application flow."
"The monitoring so far has been good and we are happy with it."
"The most important thing is that it tells us where the latency in throughput and response time are."
"The breakdown of the response time of different components and getting in-depth details of the slow component are the most valuable features. It is easy to use, and it gets the job done."
"The product allows the developer to see the actual problems in the applications."
 

Cons

"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."
"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."
"​There was a feature called HPE cloud manager, but now it is owned by Micro Focus. HPE should make a cloud optimizer again."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."
"The logs are not proper."
"The tool doesn't send automated alerts via email...We should be able to receive notification emails when a server or hardware issue arises, which would be helpful if someone is unavailable in the office."
"The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises."
"The solution should include more detailed reports for SQL database requests."
"The connectivity between legacy and newer cloud applications is not great."
"There were some settings we had issues with."
"It is a serious tool and requires a lot of time invested in order to understand how it works."
"The product's initial setup phase is not straightforward to manage if you have no experience with installations, making it an area that can be improved."
"The solution could improve by having more network monitoring features, such as for all the infrastructure."
"The product has good documentation for Linux, however, their documentation for Windows is lacking substantially. It's something they need to develop."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​Use it. It is free."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"HPE could lower the price."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"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 am happy with the price."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"I think the pricing is reasonable."
"There is a picture which goes to your browser and it monitors requests from other users. However, it's impossible to use now because the price is very high. The feature is very nice, but I tried it during the trial period, and the current price makes it impossible to use."
"Pricing is better with New Relic APM than Dynatrace."
"This solution required a license and it is better than some other competitors."
"The price of New Relic could improve. It is expensive."
"I think it's overpriced for the technical support that we get. We spent over 1,00,000 USD a year."
"The pricing model is a little confusing for beginners. They find it a little expensive, and if you are using it already, then that is not good."
"If I remember it correctly, the pricing was based on the core, and the monthly subscription used to cost us $1,500 or $2,000. We had pre-prod and production services. Costing was different for pre-prod and production. For pre-prod, it was 40% less than the production service cost. It was a combined package."
