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Users find Splunk AppDynamics challenging due to complexity, poor integration, limited support, outdated features, and prohibitive pricing.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.
For more quotes and insights, download the HPE OneView report
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.
For more quotes and insights, download the HPE OneView report
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.

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.
