Provides firmware compliance and the ability to connect to iPO
I'm using this solution for Windows and Linux servers, backup servers, and Oracle database servers. We're using a mix of two versions. We have version 7 and version 6.60. The solution is deployed on-premises. There are currently six people using this solution in my organization. We currently don't…

It has a drag-and-drop interface, so you don't need to know SQL or Java to construct a query
The ingestion happens quickly, so you can run up the data costs if you use the default settings. It isn't a problem for government agencies in the Saudi market, but many of the corporations in India are small or medium-sized enterprises that cannot afford that kind of ingestion system. Splunk needs to be tweaked in JSON so you can limit what is coming from the endpoints, especially the events. One needs to filter that out so that only certain events are ingested, like login failures, Active Directory changes, password reset requests, privilege modifications, etc. Each Windows machine generates about 310 KB of information per event, but we can tweak that down to about 50 KB.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I don't have to use CD-ROMs or anything like that to provision the servers."
"We can add VLAN and update it."
"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."
"We lose less time managing the machines."
"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."
"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."
"We get templates, so it's speed to delivery for us. It's a big difference with the template features."
"​It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. ​"
"I like the ease of setting up dashboards on Splunk. They're easy to create, manage, alter, and share. You can fine-tune them any way you see fit."
"It is quite extensible. It is a platform that we can build our use instead of each case instead of each case being limited or restricted to each capability. This is probably the best feature."
"Deployment server for deploying changes in one go."
"It gives us the liberty to do more in terms of use cases."
"Our clients are easily able to modify and evolve their implementations."
"You can check up on security from the dashboards."
"The most valuable features for us include its robust log management capabilities, which allow us to efficiently handle and retain logs for extended periods as needed."
"I like Splunk's data aggregation and search capabilities."
 

Cons

"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."
"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."
"I would like to see them expand into other cloud platforms, non-HPE platforms."
"The network configuration part of HPE OneView needs improvement. The solution has way too many features, and there's a need for proper configuration indicators to be put in place."
"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."
"​Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product​, even when asked simplistic questions."
"It's a little slow sometimes. Overall, I think it does what it's supposed to do. I think that as they evolve it, it'll get quicker."
"I think the only thing lacking is that there are some answers that I couldn't find about the tool without reaching out to support, and it had to be escalated to the engineering team."
"Deployment is not difficult but the lock sources and configurations can take time."
"Sometimes the communication with support happens with multiple staff. They should reduce the time to resolution."
"The UI can be improved. Dashboards and reports can be better in terms of graphics."
"The pricing can be better."
"The initial setup is complex, but this is necessary. We needed to take into consideration how to direct log files from thousands of machines to Splunk, and how to ingest those files."
"In terms of training. I find that some things about Splunk aren't well-explained. I see features and then go to the website but don't find good explanations."
"It needs more formatting control without having to be an admin."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"HPE could lower the price."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"​I am happy with the price."
"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."
"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 licensing model can be expensive, but the value it provides is significant."
"Splunk is really expensive."
"ROI is estimated at saving my team roughly 10 to 12 man hours per week in troubleshooting for our company as well as what our profits had been from our services of installing, configuring, and supporting other clients with the product."
"Splunk's costing is a little more difficult. The pricing method is complicated, and the way that costing is calculated in Splunk is a little more difficult."
"Splunk is not a cheap solution and the license is billed annually."
"The price of Splunk Enterprise Security is reasonable, falling somewhere in the middle range."
"The tool's pricing model is great. You can choose between workloads or volume."
"It can be cost-prohibitive when you start to scale and have terabytes of data. Its cost model is based on how much data it processes a day. If they're able to create scaled-down niche or custom package offerings, it may help with the cost. Instead of the full-blown features, if they can narrow the scope where it can only be used for a specific purpose, it would kind of create that market for the product, and it may help with the costing. When you start using it as a central aggregator and you're pumping tons of logs at it, pretty soon, you'll start hitting your cap on what it can process a day. Once you've got that, you're kind of defeating the purpose because you're going to have to scale back."
