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.
Rahul -Jain - PeerSpot reviewer
Good for application Performance Monitoring but not stable
There are two types of teams we have in every organization. One is for DevOps, and the second one is for performance testing. Those who are using these tools, like AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or whatever tool we have on the APM side. These tools are used by two teams: one is the performance team, and another one is the DevOps team. So, the setup and the alert system belong to the DevOps team, not for performance. So, I don't use any alerts in AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or any of the tools.

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 stable. We have had no downtime nor issues in approximately a year. ​"
"Just the ability to provision the servers with storage and network everything within one interface, not having to go into multiple interfaces to provision those pieces."
"Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features."
"​We cannot function without this solution. ​"
"The initial setup is easy."
"Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services."
"It monitors all our servers, and if there is any problem it straight away sends us an alert. If It's a faulty component, we can see it from there. It sends an alert."
"We have the dashboard up on a big screen, and you can actually see when things go wrong or if there are any faults with any of the servers. The backup is automated as well, so the appliance is quite good.​"
"The monitoring so far has been good and we are happy with it."
"It has helped us maintain a much higher uptime than we had previously."
"It has prevented failures from occurring in our production environment."
"The tool's most valuable features were APM and core reliability. We get alerts whenever an anomaly is detected. The solution is very friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to manage the application flow."
"The best feature of New Relic is its simple look and feel, making it easier to use than other tools."
"Every time there is a crisis, high traffic, or if we see a problem with a server, we go to New Relic and monitor it to determine the cause."
"New Relic has helped us in terms of the optimizing our print and loading times."
 

Cons

"The logs are not proper."
"Those features, coming in version 4, that we're looking for are the discovery, primarily. But I think the scope-based access control is of interest, although, we didn't see any directory integration, so that, in itself, seems like it's still limited."
"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."
"One thing which is missing is that you can't actually log a support call yourself."
"The tool doesn't send automated alerts via email...We should be able to receive notification emails when a server or hardware issue arises, which would be helpful if someone is unavailable in the office."
"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."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"The main problem that we run into, as far as stability goes, is when something loses its profile. Sometimes it requires jumping through a number of "hoops" to really get it back."
"Email alert customization is limited; it cannot be tailored much, which makes the system more rigid than optimal."
"The solution does not provide input on how the page performs in a big group. It just says that the page performance is bad, but it does not say what can be done to improve it. If they could provide some insight or guidance on how to make improvements, that would be a big help."
"It is complicated, especially in how you interpret the data that it provides. If it had a bit more canned, out-of-the-box features, especially some of the reporting features, that would be more useful."
"They could improve the education process and how people understand that these tools are very technical. Right now, if someone was to pick it up from day one, it is a very steep learning curve."
"One of the things that our enterprise actually had a challenge with was the licensing structure for New Relic."
"The solution could improve by having more network monitoring features, such as for all the infrastructure."
"I would like to see the company implement the AI auto-baseline feature which Dynatrace has."
"Real-user monitoring would be helpful as it would help me to really understand the client-side performance of the application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HPE could lower the price."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"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 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."
"​Use it. It is free."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"I feel the product's price falls a bit on the higher side."
"The pricing could be better. We did not purchase the full version. Maybe if we applied all the other features of the full version of New Relic, we could get all the features that we feel are missing."
"The solution is less expensive than AppNeta."
"The price depends on how many agents you want."
"I loved this product, but we can no longer afford it, so we dropped it."
"I think the pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is priced reasonably. New Relic APM is one of the best products for me because it's economical, so anyone can easily pick it over other solutions and use it."
"The solution is cheap, but prices can go up when users grow."
"I think it's overpriced for the technical support that we get. We spent over 1,00,000 USD a year."
