Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool provides good performance and productivity."
"What I like about HPE Integrity servers is how stable and easy to use they are."
"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."
"The product's most valuable features are troubleshooting and monitoring."
"The benefit provided by the solution for my organization stems from the fact that it provides maximum reliability and availability to users."
"It's more composable, you can use storage as well as compute blades. So maybe it's more versatile compared to the traditional blade systems."
"The hyper-converged infrastructure where everything is stateless is valuable. Basically, you have your compute storage and networking management."
"HPE Synergy is a stable solution."
"OneView is head and shoulders above the competition in this space."
"It is really easy to use, because it's GUI-based. It is not command line based, like mainframes."
"The solution has decreased our deployment time by 10 to 20 percent."
"In terms of managing our IT landscape, it helps by reducing complexity... We've taken one of our virtualization guys and turned him into a Synergy guy, and he's been able to understand the networking, he's been able to understand the OneView, he's been able to understand the Synergy. He manages all of those rather than our having to have multiple teams associated with it."
"Shorter delivery times. Where we now have a delivery time of about six weeks, we hope to go back to days."
 

Cons

"Pricing is very high."
"The virtualization of HPE Integrity could be simplified. We have discussed this issue with HPE and hopefully, they will have an update."
"HPE Integrity has always been one step behind in areas like virtualization technologies, cloud enablement, the speed of backups, and replication."
"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."
"HPE Integrity needs improvement in terms of pricing for scalability."
"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."
"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"We had some challenges during the implementation and a few issues afterward, but they were all sort of related to how Synergy interacts with Nexus. Our Nexus on the network side is managed by another group, and they had just gotten Nexus, so they weren't really familiar with how Nexus even worked. Getting these two to interact well was the majority of our issues. It really didn't have anything to do with Synergy. It points to know the environment that you are putting it in and making sure you are dotting all your i's and crossing all your t's when you are figuring out what their requirements are to communicate."
"The technical support was about the only negative experience that I had. It was a mixed bag when we were first standing it up. We had some requirements from our information security department, and technical support wasn't able to give me immediate answers. They had to engage engineering, which they did, then they got me the answers. However, it took a week of back and forth conversations and phone calls to get it all worked out."
"The expansion was complex, because adding a second frame onto the original frame caused an outage."
"We have flaky things, like a lot of bad fans."
"Sometimes there are firmware or software difficulties when connecting between networks or with storage."
"Technical support was time consuming and unsatisfactory. The initial product setup was complex, lasing around three weeks to a month."
"I would really like a way to validate the firmware in my specific environment before trying to deploy it. Those were the issues we had early on with firmware upgrades, particularly around certificates. All in all, having some level of confidence aside from it just having been tested generically would help. Something more specific to my environment would be very helpful."
"The only good thing is that they have some powerful machines that you can use, such as the latest generations of HPE Compute that you can use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."
"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"The price is not very expensive."
"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."
"The pricing is the best."
"It costs us around $60,000 a year."
"We do CAPEX."
"In our whole environment, the cost is in the millions. On this particular chassis, the annual cost is 12 blades times approximately $40,000."
"We pay for licensing on the fibre channel uplinks, on the Virtual Connect, which is an add-on."
"The biggest cost is the VMware licensing."
"The solution has reduced our IT infrastructure costs because we have had to buy less services than we used to."
"There is a perpetual license given when you purchase HPE Synergy."
"VMware is part of the cost. We bought the chassis, we bought the solution. The blades are roughly running us $60,000 a pop right now."
