Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Have a single plane of glass across all of the server platforms.""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.""The initial setup is easy.""We also have the 3PAR and the GUI is almost the same. So the recognition is very good.""Easy to add servers and get them monitored and manageable.""​We cannot function without this solution. ​""The most valuable features of HPE OneView are environment monitoring, the ease of firmware upgrade, and the ability to manage all the servers and the infrastructure from one team.""Profile templates: The ability to generate the profiles and lay them down so the servers are built consistently. I would say that's probably the biggest piece of it."

"The log aggregation is great.""The ability to manipulate data in Splunk is unparalleled. Splunk’s powerful, flexible query language can morph difficult to understand log formats into usable data.""Splunk is stable, and this is why many customers want it.""Compared to IBM QRadar, Splunk Enterprise Security offers faster alert resolution.""The initial setup is simple, not very complex. Initial deployment takes around 10 to 15 minutes to set up the entire base for Splunk including all three tiers.""Aggregation searches have reduced time and difficulty of identifying trends and conditions which need to reviewed.""The most valuable features for us include its robust log management capabilities, which allow us to efficiently handle and retain logs for extended periods as needed.""The solution is stable and reliable."

Cons
"Use it, but do not think it is going into the clouds, because it is not. There is room for improvement.​""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.""HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy.""Sometimes the interface can be a little confusing, sometimes the error messages can be very cryptic, as far as what's actually going on.""The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface.""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.""​There was a feature called HPE cloud manager, but now it is owned by Micro Focus. HPE should make a cloud optimizer again.""​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."

More HPE OneView Cons →

"If possible, we would like to have not only a log monitoring system but a network monitoring feature in this solution as well.""The cluster environment should be improved. We have a cluster. In the Splunk cluster environment, in the case of heavy searches and heavy load, the Splunk cluster goes down, and we have to put it in the maintenance mode to get it back. We are not able to find the actual culprit for this issue. I know that cluster has RF and SF, but it has been down so many times. There should be something in Splunk to help users to find the reason and the solution for such issues.""While Splunkbase (the app repository) has a lot of great content, some apps are terribly old and could stand to be updated or purged.""Many of my clients want to get better at Splunk, but they're afraid of using the tool because they feel it's too complex for them.""The user experience could be improved.""Sometimes the communication with support happens with multiple staff. They should reduce the time to resolution.""The UI can be difficult to understand for non-technical people.""Endpoint access is the only issue I can think to mention, even though the endpoint access we have with Cisco is fine."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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 am happy with the price."
  • "HPE could lower the price."
  • "I think that the price of OneView is $500 USD per server, which is a little high."
  • "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."
  • "Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
  • "This license cost for OneView was $3,000 USD."

  • "Pricing and licensing is quite expensive. But for the value the product provides, it seems at par in the market."
  • "Although Splunk is an expensive product, it is designed to be utilized across your organization in order to maximize your ROI and lower your TCO."
  • "It is not cheap."
  • "Splunk Enterprise becomes extremely expensive after the 20GB/month license."
  • "You will eat up whatever you purchase quickly. The level of insights that Splunk empowers is addictive."
  • "Splunk licensing model might seem expensive but with all the gain in functionalities you will have compared to traditional SIEM solutions I think it’s worth the price."
  • "Pricing is pretty fair."
  • "While licensing can be a concern, there are ways to reduce the licensing costs including filtering some events."
