We performed a comparison between AppDynamics Server Monitoring and HPE OneView based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The auto-discovery of the logs is the most valuable feature. It requires minimal configuration, we just need to set up on once and it automatically detects through the code."
"I like Business iQ the most, so far. It has great analytics configurations and I can get real-time updates. We have eCommerce releases every week. So the one use case that I use Business iQ is to compare before and after release performance using AppDynamics."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I don't see any problems in the solution...The solution's technical support was good."
"The platform is reliable in identifying the core system issues."
"Setting up the monitoring agents was straightforward."
"The product provides a nice end-user experience."
"We can view the server activities, including issues in the process, with a single click."
"This solution gives us quite good insights that we might otherwise overlook, or it might take a really long time to debug those issues."
"The solution's technical support was great...The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy."
"Gives us one platform to monitor and access or configure all the servers or the 3PAR, etc."
"Deploys faster new virtual services."
"If you have a lot of devices, like we do, then you have to have one single pane of view, otherwise we lose too much time. So, we needed this type of solution."
"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."
"Easy to see if all my servers are on correct firmware levels, with SPP packaging."
"Broad range of tools to create executive and operations dashboards."
"Gives the business interfaces to view real-time pictures of IT business services."
"The solution has performance issues after we deploy the agent."
"In the next release, I would like to see the configuration of the data and more support for new applications. It should support new languages."
"The solution could be more mobile friendly."
"The tool should provide information like the number of connections and processes utilized in real time."
"The one thing that I find it difficult in using AppDynamics is, for any new user, it's not easy for him or her to configure the transactions in AppDynamics because the UI is pretty complex. The configuration is pretty complex for a new, fresh user. They can make the UI simpler, that'll be very helpful for anyone to configure their website in AppDynamics."
"I would like the ability to choose from some pre-defined dashboards and reports because as it is now, you have to define them separately for each implementation."
"If we consider the implementation of alternative solutions, such as Dynatrace, there is a notable difference in the approach to agent-based service monitoring. For instance, Dynatrace employs a single-agent solution, which can pose security concerns. When installing Dynatrace, granting the agent ld pro payload rights is a requirement. In contrast, our solution ensures a more secure approach by not requiring root and administration access. While we currently utilize an agent-based solution, there may be a shift in the next one or two years, possibly with the adoption of Open Telemetry. It's anticipated that many APM vendors, including Dynatrace, may alter their structure or strategy for implementation. However, as of now, the trend is towards an increasing number of implementations daily."
"An area for improvement in AppDynamics Server Monitoring is integration; in particular, it needs a better way to integrate with custom applications such as Siebel CRM. Right now, it's challenging to integrate AppDynamics Server Monitoring with Siebel CRM because it sometimes gives an error and cannot integrate properly."
"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 speed and performance of the solution are areas where the product lacks and needs improvement."
"It needs more reporting capabilities."
"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
