Not-so-expensive and flexible to use
I use HashiCorp Terraform Cloud for Packer. I use the solution in my company to deploy infrastructures When I started using Terraform, it was an open-source tool to automate the infrastructure with which you can try to utilize it and make it a reusable module, making everything easy for regular…
MohamedKhairy - PeerSpot reviewer
Robust scalability and flexibility in managing workflow
There is a need for improved support in HPE GreenLake, including more administrators and engineers to provide faster resolution for issues. Storage issues can impact the entire data center, especially in virtualization environments where multiple virtual machines are connected. Availability of hardware and timely monitoring have been reported as a problem, with some difficulties in obtaining hardware due to limited stock in the local market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is infrastructure as code (IaC)."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"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."
"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."
"It is the flexible way to pay for everything that you need and pay as you go."
"It has helped us with the planning, and in concert with this, we are doing a lot of virtualizations. For a lot of cases, we are bringing in less gear and equipment to be able to accomplish the same things. It makes better use of what we do bring in."
"The solution integrates well with Dell, Cisco switches, or other switches."
"Absolute flexibility for scaling storage needs on demand."
"The most valuable feature for me is the ability to perform backups with a graphical user interface (GUI). It makes the process easy."
"It offers businesses the flexibility and scalability of the public cloud while having their infrastructure on-premises."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to grow into a lower price point at some point in time."
 

Cons

"It would be good if college or university students could explore HashiCorp Cloud Platform to a certain extent as an open-source solution."
"From an improvement perspective, there is a need to ensure some bug fixes."
"You need knowledge and experience to use Terraform, Vault, and other HashiCorp tools."
"The time to receive a price when I am going to a proposal is too long."
"I would really like to see more granularity in the costing model. That's the one limitation that we do have: We have a lot of departments. We want to be able to break down, in a granular way, that this department is using X amount of resources, that department is using Y amount of resources... I want to be able to tag it and say, "This is this department's fees, this is that department's fees." That way I could charge back internally to my own departments."
"There is a need for improved support in HPE GreenLake, including more administrators and engineers to provide faster resolution for issues."
"The interconnects were a challenge originally, but they sorted that out, and It was fine. We did have to spend a bit more money."
"HPE GreenLake can improve by making some of the user's experience better. It can take some time to learn."
"The support service needs improvement. The support team isn't very active in addressing cases. It should also provide a web application."
"I would like to have more detail in the monitoring."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution's pricing is moderate according to industry standard prices."
"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."
"Our first year costs were approximately $1.2 million instead of spending five to six million dollars."
"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."
"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."
"Right now we're paying about $180,000 per year."
"The price could be more flexible."
"Pricing is based on usage plateaus. The more you use, the more you pay."
"In terms of pricing, it's a bit on the higher side."
