A tool with an easy initial setup phase that ensures its users benefit in the form of a return on investment
I use HPE OneView HPE OneView to manage Synergy Switches in my company With HPE OneView, you can monitor a number of servers multiple times to see if they are stable. The most valuable feature of the solution is the visibility it provides when one adds any other servers externally to it. The…

The user interface is excellent, and it's easy to create dashboards
I use Splunk to get logs from the on-prem servers and create dashboards, alerts, and visualizations Splunk has helped us reduce our alert volume. It has sped up our security investigations. For example, it's easy to detect if there are multiple login failures. It has saved us a lot of time. We…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The hypervisor and cluster profiles make it easy to integrate with VMware."
"The most valuable features are the composable structure, infrastructure, and automation."
"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."
"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."
"The easy user interface was what I found most valuable in HPE OneView. For example, if I wanted to know the infrastructure status or I needed to send in any change commands, HPE OneView had simple buttons."
"​The stability is very good. I have never had an issue with it over the three years that I have been using it."
"The remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good."
"Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards."
"Splunk Enterprise Security offers valuable features like seamless integration and a SQL-standard Structured Query Language for easy searching."
"We can easily configure things as required in relation to our use cases."
"The solution's most valuable feature is that it helps with our use cases to detect anomalies in our data and it is important to my company since we have a lot of data on different logs on the systems."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"We can do things in minutes instead of days."
"It has a big user base, so the community is useful."
"The initial setup isn't overly complex."
"It's extremely scalable. It's a very robust solution and certainly has the capability of handling far bigger data requirements than a lot of the other tools. Generally what ends up happening with me is that my clients tend, for the most part, to be mid-tier organizations where the cost of that solutions would be accompanying requirements for people just becomes way too prohibitive. Especially considering the model that they use for costing, which is based on the volume of data. Of course, they're going to put everything including the Coke machine as the ability to collect data off of it, because of course the more they can put through the tool the more money they make."
 

Cons

"I think HPE could make more user-friendly interfaces, exclude Java and move to an HTML5 platform, make more detailed documentation, and lower the price."
"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."
"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."
"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."
"​Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product​, even when asked simplistic questions."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"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."
"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."
"​On the technical side, it would be nice to see aspects of the recent acquisition of Phantom make it into the core Splunk Enterprise, not just become a part of the premium Enterprise Security.​"
"While scheduled reports can be embedded, Splunk dashboard can not be embedded directly without enabling cross origin."
"It needs integration with a configuration management solution."
"It would be great if I could have a certain dialogue box in Splunk that uses innovative AI tools like ChatGPT, which are available now in the tech department."
"The user access control could be much more granular, so that the admins can control r/w/x access for specific features of the product like dashboards, etc."
"Splunk can improve its third-party device application plugins."
"Spam has different plugins but by default, the logs are not organized, it shows that there are roll-ups that are out of the box. I saw many plugins that can help improve or extend Splunk's functionality but I haven't tried any of them."
"The presence of multiple layers creates a significant challenge for monitoring across cloud environments."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"​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 would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"HPE could lower the price."
"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
"Splunk differs from other SIEM solutions by using a gigabyte-based pricing model, rather than the agent-based licenses common with its competitors."
"Splunk Enterprise Security is affordable."
"Splunk's cost is very high. They need to review the pricing. They have to go back and totally readdress the market."
"Splunk is not free."
"I would highly recommend anyone evaluating this option to download the free trial which allows for the ingestion of 500MB of data per day in order to get a feel for what Splunk does at its core. It will get pricey once your ingestion rates start to sky rocket, but I would consider it expensive given the amount of information that it allows you to analyze and react on straight out-of-the-box."
"It is expensive. I work for multiple clients. I am working for more than five clients, but most of the clients are switching from Splunk to Sentinel because of the cost. Even though Sentinel is very limited, clients are moving to Sentinel."
"Splunk should be able to integrate with other product using the free version."
"The pricing seems good relative to the other vendors that we have had here. However, they need to find ways to be more flexible with the licensing and be able to deal with situations where we start generating more logs. Maybe having some controls in the Splunk interface to turn it off, so we don't have to change anything in our application."
