Sentiment score
6.6
HPE OneView is highly reliable with most versions stable, though minor bugs exist, and timely upgrades enhance performance.
The stability of the blades is concerning; we have frequent issues with blades having memory or power issues.
HPE OneView is a stable solution that works efficiently.
It supports unified monitoring effectively but may have areas for enhancement.
 

Room For Improvement

Datadog needs improved performance, interface simplification, clearer billing, better integration, customization, analytics, documentation, security, and mobile app integration.
HPE OneView users want better integration, enhanced support, improved management features, user-friendly interface, and reduced licensing costs.
In future updates, I would like to see AI features included in Datadog for monitoring AI spend and usage to make the product more versatile and appealing for the customer.
The documentation is adequate, but team members coming into a project could benefit from more guided, interactive tutorials, ideally leveraging real-world data.
There should be a clearer view of the expenses.
The upgrade process is lengthy, requiring careful planning as we cannot match ESXi versions without aligning OneView first, leading to delays.
From the dashboard and reporting perspective, HPE OneView could be improved by having multiple modules rather than just a single customization option.
I believe the prices of HPE OneView should be reduced, as it is quite expensive.
 

Setup Cost

Datadog offers flexible pricing based on usage and organization size, with potential for high costs if not monitored closely.
HPE OneView pricing varies significantly, viewed as cost-effective by some yet expensive by others, depending on deployment scale.
The setup cost for Datadog is more than $100.
Our main concern is managing expenses related to the VMware licensing model which affects blade usage.
Customers need to pay a substantial amount for the licenses, especially when monitoring a large number of servers and storages.
 

Valuable Features

Datadog offers intuitive, comprehensive monitoring and integrations, enhancing infrastructure and application management with real-time insights and efficient operations.
HPE OneView streamlines infrastructure management with automation, improving efficiency, deployment speed, and operational visibility for enhanced user experience.
Our architecture is written in several languages, and one area where Datadog particularly shines is in providing first-class support for a multitude of programming languages.
The technology itself is generally very useful.
I can monitor everything in one view, which has significantly improved operational efficiency for us.
There is more feasibility when using HP Service Manager because, unlike other tools with predefined standards for script writing, we have the option for customization as per our choice, and dashboard reports can be customized.
This approach makes the upgrade process straightforward and efficient.

Single pane of glass, easy to share dashboards, and good for monitoring
We've had some issues where we had Datadog automatically turned on in AWS regions that we weren't using, which incurred a small but steady cost that amounted to tens of thousands of dollars spent over a few weeks. I wish there was a global setting that lets an admin restrict which regions DD is turned on in as a default setup step. Sometimes, the APM service dashboard link isn't sharable. I click something in the service catalog, and on that service's APM default view, I try to share a link to that with a teammate, and they reach a blank or error screen. I wish there was more organization and detail in the suggestions when I use the query editor. I'm never quite sure when the autofill dropdown shows up if I'm seeing some custom tag or some default property, so I have to know exactly what I'm looking for in order to build a chart. It's hard to navigate and explore using the query autofill suggestions without knowing exactly what tag to look for. It's been a bit hard to understand how data gets sampled or how many data points a particular dashboard value is using. We've had questions over the RUM metrics that we see and we had to ask for help with how values are calculated, bin sizes, etc to get confidence in our data.

Gaining seamless monitoring and customization capabilities
One of the best features of HPE OneView is that you get a complete architecture with a single click. The analytics and monitoring tools in HPE OneView are superior to other network monitoring platforms such as Nagios. The features include multiple modules that allow you to create and write your own scripts based on your requirements for different servers such as database servers or tapping roaming servers. There is more feasibility when using HP Service Manager because, unlike other tools with predefined standards for script writing, we have the option for customization as per our choice, and dashboard reports can be customized.
