Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
1.0
HPE OneView streamlines hardware setup, saves time, simplifies networking, and provides significant ROI advantages for most users.
Sentiment score
6.9
Splunk AppDynamics boosts productivity, software quality, and cost savings by enhancing performance monitoring and expediting issue resolution.
According to errors, exceptions, and code-level details related to their application performance on a daily basis, the application development team tries to help with Splunk AppDynamics to reduce errors and exceptions, which helps the end users get application availability and feel more confident.
To understand the magnitude of it, when the company asked to replace Splunk AppDynamics with another tool, I indicated that for the proposed tool, we would need five people to do the analysis that Splunk AppDynamics enables me to do.
It's very hard to find ROI because we are currently focused only on the on-premises applications.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
8.1
HPE OneView customer service experiences vary, with efficient high-level support but challenges at initial levels, often rated 8/10.
Sentiment score
7.3
Splunk AppDynamics' customer service is praised for responsiveness and expertise, though some users note occasional response delays.
The customer service and support have been responsive.
I would give the quality of HPE OneView's technical support an eight out of ten rating, indicating good customer service and support in my opinion.
The technical support for HPE OneView rates as an 8 on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is the worst and 10 is the best.
AppDynamics is much more helpful.
We got a contact, an account manager, to work directly with for technical support.
They help us resolve any issues raised by our team relating to operations, application instrumentation, or any other issues.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
8.5
HPE OneView facilitates infrastructure growth with seamless integration, preferred for scalability and managing large server environments effectively.
Sentiment score
7.4
Splunk AppDynamics is adaptable and scalable, praised for performance and configuration, though some face challenges with large-scale deployments.
HPE OneView is highly scalable, especially useful for organizations with large infrastructures.
HPE OneView is a scalable solution since you can integrate any number of servers based on your license.
Scalability is fine as we can add Synergy frames and extend many frames as needed.
We have reached maximum capacity in our tier, and extending capacity has not been cost-effective from Splunk's perspective.
I would rate the scalability of Splunk AppDynamics as a nine out of ten.
I assess how Splunk AppDynamics scales with the growing needs of my organization as good, since we are growing and adding more servers.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.6
HPE OneView is highly reliable with most versions stable, though minor bugs exist, and timely upgrades enhance performance.
Sentiment score
7.7
Splunk AppDynamics is generally stable and reliable, with occasional minor issues, improved by regular updates for effective monitoring.
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.
It is necessary to conduct appropriate testing before deploying them in production to prevent potential outages.
There are no issues or bugs with the 20.4 version; it is very stable with no functionality or operational issues.
I can rate it nine out of ten.
 

Room For Improvement

HPE OneView users want better integration, enhanced support, improved management features, user-friendly interface, and reduced licensing costs.
Users find Splunk AppDynamics challenging due to complexity, poor integration, limited support, outdated features, and prohibitive pricing.
The upgrade process is lengthy, requiring careful planning as we cannot match ESXi versions without aligning OneView first, leading to delays.
I believe the prices of HPE OneView should be reduced, as it is quite expensive.
From the dashboard and reporting perspective, HPE OneView could be improved by having multiple modules rather than just a single customization option.
Splunk AppDynamics does not support the complete MELT framework, which includes metrics, events, logging, and tracing for the entire stack.
If AppDynamics could develop a means to monitor without an agent, it could significantly improve application performance and reduce potential problems.
A good integration with Splunk would be very interesting, as Splunk is a good product for logs, and that part is currently missing in Splunk AppDynamics.
 

Setup Cost

HPE OneView pricing varies significantly, viewed as cost-effective by some yet expensive by others, depending on deployment scale.
Enterprise buyers of Splunk AppDynamics should anticipate higher costs and consider pricing options, licensing, and negotiation for cost efficiency.
Customers need to pay a substantial amount for the licenses, especially when monitoring a large number of servers and storages.
Our main concern is managing expenses related to the VMware licensing model which affects blade usage.
We completed a three-year deal for Splunk and for AppDynamics, which costs millions of dollars.
Customers have to pay a premium price, however, they receive considerable value from the product.
All these solutions at the moment are cheap, but it is like paying for insurance; you pay insurance to avoid major damage.
 

Valuable Features

HPE OneView streamlines infrastructure management with automation, improving efficiency, deployment speed, and operational visibility for enhanced user experience.
Splunk AppDynamics offers user-friendly real-time monitoring, deep analysis, and integration for performance insights and proactive diagnostics.
I can monitor everything in one view, which has significantly improved operational efficiency for us.
The ease of management with HPE OneView is excellent.
One of the best features of HPE OneView is that you get a complete architecture with a single click.
We have multiple tools, but end users prefer to use Splunk AppDynamics because their portal navigation is very simple and clear.
The real user monitoring and digital experience monitoring effectively track actual user experience with the applications, including page loading, interaction time for both desktop and mobile applications.
The feature that I appreciate in AppDynamics Browser Real-User Monitoring is the intuitive and user-friendly dynamic mapping it creates for workflows.

Kapil Pandey - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Gyanesh Rahatekar - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
