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

Pros

"The benefit provided by the solution for my organization stems from the fact that it provides maximum reliability and availability to users."
"The tool provides good performance and productivity."
"What I like about HPE Integrity servers is how stable and easy to use they are."
"The product's most valuable features are troubleshooting and monitoring."
"It is very fast and easy to use."
"This is a reliable server, and many applications are integrated there."
"We have what is called a chief data care center support. This is the highest level of support they have. We have been very happy with the support we have received."
"HPE Integrity is a reliable solution, but you'll need to refurbish the hardware because it's approaching the end of sale."
"We like that the solution can be arranged for an all-in-one single pane of glass, something our customers find important."
"It gives us ease of use. It's nice because we don't have to mess with networking once it's set up. Once it's done, we just put another blade in and go from there. We don't have to go back in, run more cables, deal with more data center stuff. We stick a blade in, use the server profile template, build out a server profile from that, and it just goes."
"The solution's greatest strengths lie in its ability to maintain a high availability and combine networking with hyper channel connectivity into a single component."
"Everything is in one place. We have one place to with OneView. It provides one console with one place to get to everything. The one interface makes it easier. We have one guy who does almost everything in it."
"It's a bit easier to manage than the C7000s."
"Shorter delivery times. Where we now have a delivery time of about six weeks, we hope to go back to days."
"Its versatility, performance, and size are most valuable. It is very decent for its size. It has very good performance and very good specifications."
"The most valuable features are the evolution of our existing HPE portfolio, the integration with our existing tool sets, and the enhanced capabilities that OneView bring."
 

Cons

"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."
"HPE Integrity needs improvement in terms of pricing for scalability."
"HPE Integrity has always been one step behind in areas like virtualization technologies, cloud enablement, the speed of backups, and replication."
"The virtualization of HPE Integrity could be simplified. We have discussed this issue with HPE and hopefully, they will have an update."
"Pricing is very high."
"HPE Integrity is a pain. HPE hasn't put much work into developing the solution in the past few years because it will be discontinued soon."
"The manageability must be improved."
"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"They must improve the OneView tools."
"The initial setup was complex. From what I was told, there were issues initially with getting the SFPs on the floor for our data center and something with the image, but I think that was on our service provider' side. They couldn't get the image to deploy with the right drivers and stuff."
"Technical support for this solution has a very good initial response; however, escalation takes time, and most of the time the first level of support cannot solve your case."
"Over the two years of using HPE Synergy, we have found some hardware failures that are frequent in the SOP models, CNA cards, and converged network adapters. These failures are frequently happening for a lot of the customers."
"I'd get the firmware to be a little more secure and a little more streamlined."
"We have flaky things, like a lot of bad fans."
"​Because we're using 2012, we're having issues making templates."
"In the Generation 10 modules, we have observed that very often the server has hardware issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."
"The price is not very expensive."
"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"The pricing is the best."
"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."
"We outright purchased Synergy."
"The cost is high and that is a drawback for some customers."
"It costs us around $60,000 a year."
"We pay about £500 for the solution."
"The licensing is more around the software for RGS, because we are deploying bare metal installs. It is mainly the operating system and any lights-out management. So, licensing is minimum. We are licensing it annually."
"We are satisfied with its price."
"We do a biannual renewal. I know how much that renewal is, but I don't know how much it breaks down to be just Synergy, since we have our VMware, all of our physical equipment, etc. all rolled up into one renewal, which is a little over $300,000 every two years. However, only a subset of that is the Synergy product."
"We don't have to pay for Synergy because it's part of our plan."
