Has reduced credential management time and improved workflow efficiency through seamless integration
The best features that HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) offers include its HashiCorp language, which is very easy to use, and you can do whatever the organization requires. For DevOps integration, HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) is very easy to integrate, and I found the learning curve not hard at all. There is a lot of online documentation and learning materials available, making it quite helpful. Additionally, HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) has two versions: one is professional, and another one is a free version online that you can use as open-source. There are also plenty of documentation and online forums where you can chat with specialists in HashiCorp products. HashiCorp HCL language makes things easier for my team because it is very straightforward and any programmer can understand it. The syntax is easy, and there is a lot of documentation as well as learning materials available online that can be very useful. HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) has positively impacted my organization, leading to a significant budget saving and allowing us to integrate everything the way we wanted. Those positive impacts include a definite plus in terms of security and easier integration. Regarding cost savings, it was a big win for us as the organization has saved a lot. We did not need to have another third-party product, which is often expensive in the market, and the templating of any credentials and passwords was easy to manage in one place.

Flexible monthly infrastructure has simplified management and improved client cost control
Some valuable points about HPE GreenLake are that it is a managed solution in the same pane of glass. HPE GreenLake integrates well with the existing infrastructure, and it is straightforward. HPE GreenLake positively impacts my organization because it saves money and time, and it improves my sales because I have another solution to reduce costs for the client. The client may need to pay two thousand dollars to change every infrastructure in one payment, but not all clients have the total amount available. However, if it is possible to pay month-to-month for the solution, it is much easier for the client to accept the proposal. HPE GreenLake's real-time monitoring tools are good, and I really need them to improve the services.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) has positively impacted my organization by bringing efficiency and increasing productivity."
"HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) has positively impacted my organization by ensuring that the data is tokenized and the user access is appropriately assigned."
"The ease of accessing passwords and using Vault has positively impacted my team's workflow and productivity, as it changes the way my team handles sensitive credentials."
"The solution's most valuable feature is infrastructure as code (IaC)."
"HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) has positively impacted my organization by making the whole problem-solving process easier, as if there are any ticket issues, things get resolved more easily compared to our previous services."
"The tool's documentation is excellent. It's well-organized, easy to use, simple, and easily readable. I can usually find answers to my questions quickly in the docs."
"I appreciate the consistency that HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) offers because I can create an environment once, add variables, and deploy them to multiple environments in a short span of time."
"My clients are receiving a return on investment, this is why they are using it."
"The solution's technical support does an excellent job."
"It offers businesses the flexibility and scalability of the public cloud while having their infrastructure on-premises."
"The most valuable feature for me is the ability to perform backups with a graphical user interface (GUI). It makes the process easy."
"It has brought newer technology in more quickly, with a lower risk of failure, helped us plan better, enabled extensive virtualization so we can bring in less gear to accomplish the same things, and made our infrastructure more consistent by keeping hardware generations closer together."
"It has made our organization's capacity management efforts so much better. Usually, engineers need to take time to worry about firmware updates and and getting that stuff done. However, that falls to the wayside, knowing with GreenLake's data center management and data center support that all the firmware has been tested for all the equipment that you have. When you apply the updates, nothing should go wrong, because it has already been fully tested."
"We have a service and cost model based on utilization for specific KPIs, measured by memory and storage, with no costs for CPU consumption. This approach has allowed us to manage and optimize utilization and consumption effectively."
"HPE has delivered on all their promises for this service."
 

Cons

"It would be good if college or university students could explore HashiCorp Cloud Platform to a certain extent as an open-source solution."
"You need knowledge and experience to use Terraform, Vault, and other HashiCorp tools."
"If HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) could implement a way to configure the machines internally, and not only the cloud infrastructure provisioning and the boxes, and if they also added a way that we can easily configure the package or deploy applications inside the boxes, it would be fantastic."
"I don't have enough experience with HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) yet to have any recommendations for improvement at this time, but I would suggest speeding up the process."
"I have encountered a problem when updating modules required by policy changes, as the existing infrastructure sometimes gets deleted."
"From an improvement perspective, there is a need to ensure some bug fixes."
"I think HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) can be improved by creating a module for audit to make access to logs easier and to improve the auditability of who is accessing which vaults at which time and being able to generate that information in a report."
"HPE GreenLake can improve by making some of the user's experience better. It can take some time to learn."
"I don't think we'll know until we get to the end of the contract if the service has saved us money."
"In the GreenLake portal, I would really like to see more granularity in the costing model."
"I would like to have more detail in the monitoring."
"There could be better monitoring of growth and threshold usage so users could be more aware when their billing will change."
"There is a need for improved support in HPE GreenLake, including more administrators and engineers to provide faster resolution for issues."
"Part of the integration, with cutting things over to Unisys, may have hurt us a bit. We had a couple of rough implementations earlier this year. Part of that was due to some internal system changes on HPE's side. We are keeping an eye on this to make sure it doesn't happen again."
"The time to receive a price when I am going to a proposal is too long."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is moderate according to industry standard prices."
"For my side, the tool is not expensive. It is a very flexible product that you can utilize. I think the tool is a little bit expensive for smaller companies, especially startups."
"If you're used to buying HPE servers, it's less expensive than that. I don't really compare competitor servers because HPE has never given me any reason to look otherwise. However, if you get good pricing on HPE servers, you get better pricing on GreenLake."
"Our first year costs were approximately $1.2 million instead of spending five to six million dollars."
"It's a small cost per month compared to that one-time purchase. The big thing is if you get your one-time purchase wrong, then you are buying a lot more. With GreenLake, if we miss estimate (which with all the planning, you usually don't), we sign a piece of paper, and then they send more equipment in."
"It is significantly less expensive than going to cloud for development... Our cost is approximately $25,000 a month."
"If you are looking to turn some of your capital expense into operational expense, this allows you to do it. It is a good idea."
"HPE GreenLake payment model is you pay for what you use. You can purchase a yearly, quarterly, or half-year license. The overall price of the solution is a little high and hopeful there can be better margins in the future."
"We have reduced a lot of our VMware licensing costs."
"Pricing is based on usage plateaus. The more you use, the more you pay."
