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.
Rahul -Jain - PeerSpot reviewer
Good for application Performance Monitoring but not stable
There are two types of teams we have in every organization. One is for DevOps, and the second one is for performance testing. Those who are using these tools, like AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or whatever tool we have on the APM side. These tools are used by two teams: one is the performance team, and another one is the DevOps team. So, the setup and the alert system belong to the DevOps team, not for performance. So, I don't use any alerts in AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or any of the tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Firmware compliance is one of the most valuable features."
"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."
"We can add VLAN and update it."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The template management makes the deployment of the firmware updates much faster."
"If you have a lot of devices, like we do, then you have to have one single pane of view, otherwise we lose too much time. So, we needed this type of solution."
"The most valuable features of HPE OneView are environment monitoring, the ease of firmware upgrade, and the ability to manage all the servers and the infrastructure from one team."
"​It is very stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. ​"
"The initial setup is straightforward. It is easy to track and easy to follow."
"The monitoring so far has been good and we are happy with it."
"It has prevented failures from occurring in our production environment."
"The most valuable feature of New Relic APM is the dashboard, New Relic Insights. I configured my own dashboard to monitor certain parameters."
"The solution is good for sending alerts, drawing graphs about system usage, and creating plug-ins."
"The solution offers good documentation."
"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 most valuable feature is the ability to receive in-depth information about applications. It can detect a lot of important information."
 

Cons

"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."
"The solution's console can be improved by making it more user-friendly and adding the capability to filter the reports out using only the information required."
"​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."
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."
"I believe the prices of HPE OneView should be reduced, as it is quite expensive."
"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."
"It needs more reporting capabilities."
"There are certain features that are not supported in New Relic, such as CATSEARCH, which allows you to do a full-text search."
"New Relic needs to improve is the user data schema."
"New Relic APM is a good tool, and it has a database of failures, but it could use a list of customer-specific failures. New Relic APM should be able to give my company advanced analytics through AI."
"The monitoring is only as good as the alerts that it produces. By having it set up fine grain alerting, it is a bit of a pain."
"There are times when you restart the engines and the servers have a unique ID for the host and you need to remove the server. It is difficult because some are on-premise and others are production hosts. Having downtime is not very good when updating. However, it is not a constant issue."
"The APIs could be better. I would also like more APIs and features to integrate with streaming solutions, like Kinesis or Kafka."
"I would like to see the company implement the AI auto-baseline feature which Dynatrace has."
"I would like a feature where I can turn off alerting at a policy level. Thus, when a policy is inactive, I can shut down all of my alerts within the policy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​Use it. It is free."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"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 think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"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."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"​I am happy with the price."
"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."
"We feel it's a little bit pricey."
"I think the pricing is reasonable."
"I loved this product, but we can no longer afford it, so we dropped it."
"Cost is significant with a lot of extras."
"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 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 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."
