Efficient monitoring and alerting enhance operational insights

With Grafana Enterprise Stack, we can identify issues that New Relic cannot help with. While New Relic requires purchase and supports frontend and backend components, Grafana Enterprise Stack helps identify where issues are occurring. When we need to deep dive into issues, we use New Relic to trace transactions and determine where maximum impact occurs, whether in core size, DB side, or frontend components that slow performance. We first evaluate with Grafana Enterprise Stack, then move to New Relic if we identify performance degradation, such as DB queries taking too much time. Grafana Enterprise Stack responds to queries within 6 to 12 hours. They contact users through email immediately when available. Similarly, New Relic follows the same pattern, responding immediately when requests are raised and resolving issues promptly.

Efficient management and upgrades streamline complex setups

My main complaint is about the blades on the frames, which seem to have a lot of problems. We often have to call HPE for replacements, such as for memory. Constant issues arise, leading to frequent replacement of blade parts. Additionally, the upgrade process is lengthy, requiring careful planning as we cannot match ESXi versions without aligning OneView first, leading to delays.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very easy to deploy and integrate with any application or infrastructure layer."

"The most valuable features for us are dashboards; we can dashboard anything that we can think of, we can dashboard and measure."

"The tool's most valuable feature is real-time monitoring. It helps in securing the application or the node by allowing us to monitor and manage resource consumption during peak times. For instance, from 10 AM to 2 PM, we may experience high memory utilization. It helps us to solve these issues."

"Grafana Enterprise Stack is a powerful open-source platform with robust capabilities in data visualizations, dashboard creations, and alerting."

"It is truly reliable."

"The dashboards are pretty good."

"Grafana has enough features around dashboard management. It's got enough plugins to create your dashboards."

"Compared to other packages, Grafana Enterprise Stack is user-friendly and easy to configure quickly."

More Grafana Enterprise Stack pros

"It has improved the working of our organization by providing more consistency within our firmware, drivers, firmware baseline and server profiling; thus it provides more consistency."

"The template management makes the deployment of the firmware updates much faster."

"We could literally swap out a piece of hardware, slide one back into the chassis, and immediately - about three reboots later - it was identical. We didn't have to worry about configuring it, we didn't have to spend any time getting anything into place. It came back and it healed the environment almost immediately."

"It does make your life much easier."

"With OneView, an expandable and programmable solution from HP, the door opens for partnerships in the healthcare IT field and HIPAA compliance."

"Profile templates: The ability to generate the profiles and lay them down so the servers are built consistently."

"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms."

"In terms of switch management, it is now easy to understand the current configuration, it provides centralized management, it provides a single pane, and you can easily do all updates in one shot."

More HPE OneView pros

Cons

"The tool needs to show only fewer updates."

"Integrating AI capabilities for automated self-healing and reduced manual interventions would be valuable."

"The connection between metrics, logs, and traces could be improved. Currently, one needs to ingest labels and timestamps for them to be connected, however, drilling down sometimes takes time."

"In terms of what Grafana provides, it just provides the charting tools. Everything else is third-party."

"The solution should include integration with Power BI."

"If Grafana Enterprise Stack could display transaction queries in dashboard format similar to New Relic, it would provide more options and capabilities for users."

"Grafana Enterprise Stack is complex and not easy or simple."

"They could use more small tutorials to explain a bit about how Grafana works."

More Grafana Enterprise Stack cons

"I would love the ability to either import a range of IPs for the ILO, or be able to do a scan."

"I saw, maybe three years ago or two years ago here, or in Barcelona, at the HPE Discover conference, a feature that you can update Clusterware with VMware. But the feature is still not live in production. Currently, you have to do all the firmware updates and then you have to do the VMware updates. So you have two reboots and it would be better if it was just one."

"Does not allow for switch configuration other than through OneView."

"Although the product is meant only for HPE, it would be great if they were to incorporate functionality from non-HPE components."

"My main complaint is about the blades on the frames, which seem to have a lot of problems. We often have to call HPE for replacements, such as for memory."

"I found the technical support for the solution to be slow."

"There is a lot of automated stuff in there, but we'd like to step into the middle of that and bring in our own different tools as a part of that integration."

"It's a nice product. It's a little slow sometimes."

More HPE OneView cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I use the tool's free license."

"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."

"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."

"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."

"HPE could lower the price."

"Use it. It is free."

"I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."

"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
