Head IT at TO THE NEW Digital
Offers great performance and customization for application servers
There are a few bugs in PowerEdge C that require some configurational settings to be done with the help of a support team when we reconfigure the solution. This is one area where they can improve the performance of the server or implement some application improvements in the solution to make it easier for end users to implement properly.

Pricing is very high. It should be less. In comparison to other brands like Dell or Cisco, I think HPE is not CTS. HPE should not be CTS. It should be less than Cisco and IBM. IBM has higher costs. Compared to Dell and Cisco, it is costly, and some management software is also expensive.
