Reliable servers handle numerous applications efficiently
Pricing is very high. It should be less. In comparison to other brands like Dell or Cisco, I think HPE is not CTS. HPE should not be CTS. It should be less than Cisco and IBM. IBM has higher costs. Compared to Dell and Cisco, it is costly, and some management software is also expensive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 tool provides good performance and productivity."
"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."
"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."
"The benefit provided by the solution for my organization stems from the fact that it provides maximum reliability and availability to users."
"It is really easy to use, because it's GUI-based. It is not command line based, like mainframes."
"We have been able to give the deployment team what they request more quickly. We are able to quickly deploy what is being asked of us. If the development team needs a platform of 20 servers to run a particular platform, we can give that to them within a day or two."
"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 solution helps us to implement new business requirements quickly, by using the Composer for efficiency. It has also improved the productivity of our development team due to the efficiency of being able to deploy via Composer."
"It has improved our procurement and day zero provisioning. We are bringing in racks of Synergy which are not populated with the blades, then we are buying the blades and populating them, as our business needs. This has been pretty helpful to be able to sort of pre-package the data center with the Synergy platform, then deploy servers into it as we grow."
"OneView is head and shoulders above the competition in this space."
"The i3S module can be configured to provision storage to all blade servers and boot to any operating system without needing local hard drives."
"The solution has decreased our deployment time by 10 to 20 percent."
 

Cons

"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"The manageability must be improved."
"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."
"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 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."
"After delivering the contract, they became a little less active. So, it needs some pushing from my side sometimes."
"This solution could be improved by increasing the speed on the conversion adapters. It should be 100 gigs."
"The power consumption is very high, and there should be a more efficient way of reducing the power requirements while maintaining high performance."
"I would like more storage with this solution, because we still need 3PAR or other storage outside the box for the amount of data that we have."
"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."
"I would definitely like to see them fix the firmware updates on all the blades. No matter what operating system it is running on, make sure I can do the firmware as well as the software for those firmware components at the same time. I don't want to have to rely on an external product. Let's bring that product inside the menu so that I have a better experience with updates."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly. It's for admins, and you should have the knowledge to use it."
"The solution must concentrate on improving the product quality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"The pricing is the best."
"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."
"The price is not very expensive."
"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."
"Our IT infrastructure costs have gone up each year by 20 percent."
"We pay for licensing on the fibre channel uplinks, on the Virtual Connect, which is an add-on."
"The hardware licensing cost is reasonable."
"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 do CAPEX."
"We are satisfied with its price."
"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."
"There was at least about a 20 percent savings in cost over our purchase based on the purchase price of the compute modules themselves versus what we've had to pay before. It was significantly less."
