A solution offering stability, good support, and a straightforward setup phase
Right now, I don't have any comments on what needs to be improved because I handle the delivery unit at a CEO's level. So, it's my team who works hands-on and on a day-to-day basis. Hence, they may be the right people to comment on this. The price of the solution can make a 100 percent difference. I think the licensing model may not have major issues because it's only a node-based one or something. However, the customers should first consume the existing features completely because quite a few customers do not use the complete capacity of Elastic's enterprise version. So that's how things are in India right now. The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper.

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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its diverse set of features available on the cloud is of significant importance."
"I have built a mini business intelligence system based on Elastic Observability."
"We use AppDynamics and Elastic. The reason why we're using Elastic APM is because of the license count. It's very favorable compared to AppDynamics. It's inexpensive; it's economical."
"The most valuable feature of Elastic Observability is the text search."
"It has always been a stable solution."
"Elastic Observability significantly improves incident response time by providing quick access to logs and data across various sources. For instance, searching for specific keywords in logs spanning over a month from multiple data sources can be completed within seconds."
"The solution allows us to dig deep into data."
"The Elastic User Interface framework lets us do custom development when needed. You need to have some Javascript knowledge. We need that knowledge to develop new custom tests."
"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
"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. ​"
"Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."
"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."
"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."
 

Cons

"There's a steep learning curve if you've never used this solution before."
"The solution would be better if it was capable of more automation, especially in a monitoring capacity or for the response to abnormalities."
"Elastic APM's visualization is not that great compared to other tools. It's number of metrics is very low."
"The price is the only issue in the solution. It can be made better and cheaper."
"There is room for improvement regarding its APM capabilities."
"Elastic Observability needs to have better standardization, logging, and schema."
"There could be more low-code features included in the product."
"Elastic Observability is difficult to use. There are only three options for customization but this can be difficult for our use case. We do not have other options to choose the metrics shown, such as CPU or memory usage."
"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."
"I had some minor difficulties with upgrading, but the solution still works fine."
"We ran into a couple of issues here and there with the baselines for the firmware and not having enough space on the appliance itself to be able to have more than two baselines."
"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."
"The speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have been using the open-source version."
"Elastic Observability is cheaper than other similar solutions, such as Dynatrace. Its license calculation is based on various factors like data volume and physical infrastructure, particularly related to RAM capacity."
"Since we are a huge company, Elastic Observability is an affordable solution for us."
"There are two types: cloud and SaaS. They charge based on data ingestion, ingest rate, hard retention, and warm retention. I believe it costs around $25,000 annually to ingest 30GB of data daily. That is the SaaS version. There is also a self-managed license where the customer manages their own infrastructure on-prem. In such cases, there are three license tiers that respectively cost $5,000 annually per node, $7,000 per node, and $12,500 per node."
"So far, there are just the standard licensing fees. Several of the components are embedded in the license or are even open source. They're even free depending on what you use, which makes it even more appealing to someone that is discussing pricing of the solution."
"One needs to pay for the licenses, and it is an annual subscription model right now."
"We will buy a premium license after POC."
"Pricing is one of those situations where the more you use it, the more you pay."
"​I am happy with the price."
"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."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"​Use it. It is free."
"HPE could lower the price."
