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."
"HPE OneView allows me to monitor access and check the health of the infrastructure in a single console."
"Deploys faster new virtual services."
"The solution's initial setup process was easy...The technical support is good...It is a stable product, and we will use it for a long time."
"OneView provides a single console, which is manageable without physical access."
"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
"By being able to deploy servers very quickly and rapidly, we can respond to any business requirement needed."
"Gives us one platform to monitor and access or configure all the servers or the 3PAR, etc."
"The VPN is one of the solution's most valuable features for us."
"The most valuable feature is the New Relic APM module to deep-dive into the application, to get bottlenecks to the surface, and to improve application performance. Also, the New Relic Insights module creates a real-time dashboard on application performance to create awareness for the DevOps team."
"The tool's most valuable features were APM and core reliability. We get alerts whenever an anomaly is detected. The solution is very friendly."
"We appreciate the way that this solution allows us to monitor the ongoing status of the UI at any given time."
"The feature I found most valuable is being able to design my queries. It's easy to design a query."
"It does everything we wanted it to do."
"The monitoring so far has been good and we are happy with it."
"Working with the solution is very easy. It's user-friendly."
 

Cons

"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."
"They can improve reporting and provide more customized reports. Currently, reporting is a bit limited. It can be complex to learn and manage for beginners. Because of my experience, I find it comfortable to manage, which might not be the case with beginners. It would be good if they can make it a little bit easier to understand. They can provide a more graphical view of connectivity and other things. Their technical support can also be improved."
"​We have a version 3 and a version 1.2, but the upgrade process from the 1.2 to the 3 is kind of an issue."
"Those features, coming in version 4, that we're looking for are the discovery, primarily. But I think the scope-based access control is of interest, although, we didn't see any directory integration, so that, in itself, seems like it's still limited."
"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."
"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."
"We've had a few issues. We just upgraded to the 3.9.0 version. We think that now that we are on that version, hopefully a lot of those things are going to go away for us."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"New Relic does enable frontend performance monitoring by default. However, when we are troubleshooting the issue, New Relic is not able to trace back to the service where the issue is. Other solutions, such as Dynatrace are better."
"The solution should include more detailed reports for SQL database requests."
"It would be nice if there were pre-made dashboards."
"Data Dog captures the entire session and then provides it as a video player path, which gives more insight into what the user was doing. It's pretty impressive. New Relic does that, yet it only captures using a couple of screenshots, which is not very detailed since you are unable to see the entire user flow."
"How granular I could go down at looking at certain data, especially related to the operations, is limited."
"The scalability can be improved."
"In addition, its difficult to have a predictive tool to see how the application would behave in the future when it basically only shows the historical data."
"The browser isn't exactly reliable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"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."
"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 think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"​Use it. It is free."
"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."
"I loved this product, but we can no longer afford it, so we dropped it."
"It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one means cheap, and ten means very expensive."
"The pricing and licensing are good if you have an account manager and a partner manager who are looking to help out."
"I think it's overpriced for the technical support that we get. We spent over 1,00,000 USD a year."
"The price depends on how many agents you want."
"The pricing is okay comparatively their competitors. The only concern was whether it should be purchased on demand or bring your own license, and which way passes some savings onto the end customers."
"The solution is cheap, but prices can go up when users grow."
