HPE OneView vs Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring (formerly SignalFx)

Likelihood to Recommend

HPE Oneview has come along way. When they first put it out it was next to useless. Over the years and versions, they listened to feedback and have made OneView into a truly enterprise-level robust management product. It is now a far better product than the old C7000 Blade OAs, and HP SIM. It makes management of hardware easy and makes much of the maintenance easier and safer than before. For the storage side it does a great job and is intuitive to use, but the very versatility of how you can do things can lead to issues if multiple engineers do things differently.

Error detection, outage detection, throughput monitoring, percentage monitoring are the scenarios that we’re currently using [Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring (formerly SignalFx)] for and they are well suited. I believe it is less appropriate when a precise number is required for monitoring. Because sometimes discrepancies occur because of metric collectors. For example, 100 metric is reported at time t, but on the charts, it’s split as 60 for time t and 40 for t1.

I'd say better advice on how best organizations can tailor it to suit their needs
I've seen newcomers face a steeper learning curve, and hence better documentation
I'm not a big fan of how active/inactive metrics can be told apart

HPE OneView 9.0

Based on 4 answers

Support and training when we implemented OneView were excellent. We haven't required any additional support since we put it in and configured it for our systems. The OneView systems have been stable through updates and HPE documentation is excellent.

SignalFX is a strong competitor in the monitoring SaaS space and provide the basic necessities for production grade monitoring and alerting. Other solutions may offer easier adoption and other helpful features, but will have trouble competing for cost for organizations that have bandwidth to tweak metric ingress.
