It also includes application flow maps, operational dashboards, and transaction scorecards. HPE OneView offers centralized management of storage, switches, and servers, with strong automation capabilities, ease of deployment, and health management.

Room for Improvement: AppDynamics users suggest better integration with performance-testing tools, enhanced network monitoring, and a more intuitive UI.

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.

Application performance management and error resolution improved with data-driven insights

Dynatrace has multiple functions compared to Splunk AppDynamics, so Splunk AppDynamics should add those functions, which are not available as of now. Dynatrace has a universal agent that collects all information related to their CI, and if one CI has multiple languages, then there is no need to instrument multiple agents. However, Splunk AppDynamics requires multiple agents; if I have one server with multiple applications in different languages, then I need to instrument different agents for each application. Splunk AppDynamics should work with Dynatrace with one single universal agent that works with all application languages, eliminating the need for multiple implementations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We also have the 3PAR and the GUI is almost the same. So the recognition is very good."

"The solution's initial setup process was easy...The technical support is good...It is a stable product, and we will use it for a long time."

"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."

"We can add VLAN and update it."

"It's rather simple to use, and that's very important for us."

"The OneView Global Dashboard is very user-friendly and it can be used for monitoring the power consumption and temperature of the data center and racks."

"Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable."

"We cannot function without this solution. "

More HPE OneView pros

"AppDynamics' most valuable features are the response time of the business transaction modules, the ability to monitor multiple services, and testing and developing environments."

"The solution is very, very stable. We haven't faced any bugs or glitches on the system."

"The feature that I appreciate in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is the intuitive and user-friendly dynamic mapping it creates for workflows."

"The product is stable and the technical support is good."

"The features related to the application performance in AppDynamics Database Monitoring are the most valuable."

"Application Analytics' most valuable features are the real-user monitoring and the agents installed in the software stack on the application server."

"The most valuable feature of AppDynamics is that we can see all query times. If a particular query is taking too much time, we can alert it."

"It has been stable, scalable and manageable."

More Splunk AppDynamics pros

Cons

"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."

"They can improve reporting and provide more customized reports. Currently, reporting is a bit limited. It can be complex to learn and manage for beginners. Because of my experience, I find it comfortable to manage, which might not be the case with beginners. It would be good if they can make it a little bit easier to understand. They can provide a more graphical view of connectivity and other things. Their technical support can also be improved."

"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."

"The logs are not proper."

"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 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."

"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement."

"It needs more reporting capabilities."

More HPE OneView cons

"We would love to see support for more types of agents in the mainframe world."

"The end-user experience is not really good because we can't catch all of the transactions. We only can catch the full stack of flow transactions, but I think that this is caused by the technology they use. If they will catch every transaction, it will cause a very big load on the performance of applications. The monitoring of all transactions needs improvement."

"When you have high stress of visits I do not know if you are more stress because of the amount of visits or because you have to wait eternal 60 seconds to find out it things are going well or you already have mess."

"The scalability could be improved."

"The integration ability of AppDynamics with other performance testing tools is an area with shortcomings where improvements are required."

"The overall performance of this solution could be improved. The hot-hot infrastructure features could also be improved."

"The agent deployment could be simplified by, for example, adding a GUI."

"I would like to see a better way to automate actions based on the events generated by the tool."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"I am happy with the price."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"HPE could lower the price."

"Use it. It is free."

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

More HPE OneView pricing and cost advice

"I rate AppDynamics Mobile Real-User Monitoring's pricing as seven out of ten. Mobile monitoring is paid based on the number of instances utilizing the mobile monitoring service, which increases as the scale grows. Consequently, your mobile user count can proportionally surpass all other applications."

"Take into consideration what you get for specific pricing models and how much it costs to add on things you may need later."

"AppDynamics offers a yearly basis license."

"The pricing of the solution is reasonable for what features you receive."

"It is not a cheap tool, but you also save in manpower to setup because it is easy and fast. At the end of the day, I think the revenue is much better. BUT, they have an awful co-term mode of licensing."

"It would be better if there were more solutions incorporated into the base price. "

"We find its pricing reasonable and competitive. After it was acquired by Cisco, we found it acceptable."

"In terms of pricing, I feel that when you compare the benefits that we get to the price that we paid, it is reasonable."
