Provides the best pricing in the market, performs well, and has good productivity
We use the solution for our production environment The tool provides good performance and productivity. It is a good solution. We run our production applications on the product. The manageability must be improved. Regular management is a little complex. I have been using the solution for ten…

Helps grow horizontally or vertically within one box or chassis
The initial setup is very easy. We deployed this in two days, including installation, system setup, firmware upgrades, configuration, and network connection. By the next day, we were already deploying virtual machines. We initially began with the Blade system. As the migration to SAP HANA approached, it seemed prudent to upgrade our hardware. Consequently, we facilitated their transition from the Blade system to Synergy. Subsequently, we collaborated closely with the SAP consultancy company to oversee the migration process, ensuring seamless integration of all workloads and sub-environments. We have four people working on the deployment, including a project manager, two specialists, and one tech support.

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 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."
"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."
"The tool provides good performance and productivity."
"HPE Integrity is a reliable solution, but you'll need to refurbish the hardware because it's approaching the end of sale."
"It is very fast and easy to use."
"What I like about HPE Integrity servers is how stable and easy to use they are."
"The i3S module can be configured to provision storage to all blade servers and boot to any operating system without needing local hard drives."
"In terms of the productivity of our deployment team, the amount of time has been decreased a lot. In the past, to deploy one c7000 chassis with 15 or 16 blades, we literally used to spend two to three weeks. But with a Synergy, it's very quick. Within three days we can do the deployment."
"They're easy to swap and move around the datacenter, for sure. They don't occupy too much space for what they offer."
"The benefit is that it's going to be maintained, contrary to what we had last year, when the maintenance went off for the last generation of the servers that we had there."
"The manageability is its most valuable feature. It is a fully managed platform, which is very simple to manage."
"The stability of the solution is very reliable."
"The most valuable features of HPE Synergy are the two composers."
"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."
 

Cons

"The manageability must be improved."
"The virtualization of HPE Integrity could be simplified. We have discussed this issue with HPE and hopefully, they will have an update."
"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."
"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."
"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 monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"I would like the ability to have my storage components accessed from any other frame across the backplane. If we have a storage module and we run out of space in that frame, it'd be nice to be able to share it across the frames. You can do it with hyperconverged. Why can't you do it with Synergy?"
"One of the features I want to see, which I will see with OneView 5.0, is to have all the OneView consoles in a single pane of glass. That will make it easy to see everything in one place and not have to log in to multiple consoles."
"I would like to see more nodes in a single chassis so we wouldn't have to purchase additional chassis."
"A faster Composer module would be a good inclusion for the next release of this solution."
"The update is problematic. When you want to update the firmware, or when you want to update software on Composer, it takes a lot of time. A lot."
"​Because we're using 2012, we're having issues making templates."
"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."
"Its management needs some work. It is not the best in terms of management. It has decent management. Its user interface can also be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is not very expensive."
"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."
"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"The pricing is the best."
"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."
"We do CAPEX."
"We are satisfied with its price."
"When we made the purchase of the hardware, we added Professional Services to it."
"For temporal use, when you throw on the fact that you're essentially doubling your capacity, right there you could claim a 50 percent TCO reduction."
"Synergy has lowered our total cost of ownership significantly. I would say ballpark around 25 percent, maybe more."
"In our whole environment, the cost is in the millions. On this particular chassis, the annual cost is 12 blades times approximately $40,000."
"The solution can be expensive because it requires both hardware and software purchases."
"The Nutanix platform came in a little more expensive than the Synergy."
