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

"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."
"​It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. ​"
"Profile templates: The ability to generate the profiles and lay them down so the servers are built consistently. I would say that's probably the biggest piece of it."
"The hypervisor and cluster profiles make it easy to integrate with VMware."
"The remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good."
"Provides the strongest support for automation."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The solution is good for sending alerts, drawing graphs about system usage, and creating plug-ins."
"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."
"What I like best about New Relic APM is its user interface because it's simple. The most valuable feature of New Relic APM is end-to-end monitoring."
"The deep insights, which will give you the metrics (not a high level), so we can build out at the database level where the bottleneck is. This has been pretty helpful."
"The tool's most valuable features were APM and core reliability. We get alerts whenever an anomaly is detected. The solution is very friendly."
"The solution offers good documentation."
"The versatility of the solution is its most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."
"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement.​"
"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."
"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."
"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."
"The logs are not proper."
"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."
"They could improve the education process and how people understand that these tools are very technical. Right now, if someone was to pick it up from day one, it is a very steep learning curve."
"The solution only supports the cloud platform and not on-premises."
"Compared to their competitors, they are missing some features at the moment."
"There were some settings we had issues with."
"The price could improve."
"It is complicated, especially in how you interpret the data that it provides. If it had a bit more canned, out-of-the-box features, especially some of the reporting features, that would be more useful."
"Email alert customization is limited; it cannot be tailored much, which makes the system more rigid than optimal."
"New Relic is very slow, and the app is a bit frustrating to use, which is something that has been happening a lot in the past year. During the last six months, I have noticed that it has become extremely laggy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"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 would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"When it comes to the government, money is never an issue, so it was excellent in terms of the HPE OneView licensing cost. Hitachi was cheaper, but I'd rate HPE OneView cost-wise as eight out of ten."
"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."
"​Use it. It is free."
"We spend somewhere around $5,000 to $6,000 per month with an annual recommitment of maybe $60,000. These are just ballpark figures."
"This is an expensive tool."
"They gave us aggressive discounts when they were brought in for the first time, but they have also kept them for the year-on-year renewals, which has been absolutely fine."
"The price of the solution could be less expensive. You have to pay a lot for each user. There is an additional cost for extra features."
"This solution required a license and it is better than some other competitors."
"We deploy everything on AWS. Purchasing the product on AWS Marketplace made it easier for us."
"It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
"The price of New Relic APM could be less expensive. We are using the New Relic APM pro account and it is more costly. When compared to competitors the solution's pricing should be much more realistic."
