Muralitharan KS - PeerSpot reviewer
Effective data visualization and effortless integration with Kubernetes
Grafana's most valuable feature is its ability to provide a graphical representation of data collected from various sources. It categorizes signals accurately and is easy to integrate with Kubernetes or OpenShift clusters using Helm charts. It helps administrators put in minimal effort due to its automatic data source collection capabilities.
Trevor Watkins - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Grafana's full observability stack, known as LGTM, is highly valuable."
"Grafana's most valuable feature is its ability to provide a graphical representation of data collected from various sources."
"Our productivity has improved with its use."
"The dashboards are pretty good."
"The most valuable features of Grafana for data visualization are its ability to create intuitive dashboards and its wide range of visualization options like graphs, charts, and tables."
"The most valuable feature of Grafana Enterprise Stack is the dashboards."
"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's full observability stack, known as LGTM, is highly valuable."
"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."
"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."
"It gives us a view of all our servers, which we did not have before in real-time."
"The hypervisor and cluster profiles make it easy to integrate with VMware."
"The template management makes the deployment of the firmware updates much faster."
"The ease of management with HPE OneView is excellent."
"We also have the 3PAR and the GUI is almost the same. So the recognition is very good."
"The best part is that you can integrate a two-way network. Earlier we could not manage the storage and ToR switch. Now we can create a LAN with our storage without any interface. 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. It is a great product."
 

Cons

"If Grafana Enterprise Stack could display transaction queries in dashboard format similar to New Relic, it would provide more options and capabilities for users."
"The connection between metrics, logs, and traces could be improved."
"I have encountered occasional issues with false inputs or incorrect data in Grafana."
"I find Grafana really hard to configure. It's difficult to build the dashboard, and it's non-intuitive. In my opinion, it's very difficult to work with Grafana."
"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."
"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."
"We've had issues, for example, with RAM."
"​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."
"Specifically, it would be great if we had the ability to reapply the server profile faster."
"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."
"I believe the prices of HPE OneView should be reduced, as it is quite expensive."
"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement.​"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I use the tool's free license."
"This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."
"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."
"​Use it. It is free."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"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."
"HPE could lower the price."
