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.

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

Pros

"What I like about HPE Integrity servers is how stable and easy to use they are."
"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."
"The product's most valuable features are troubleshooting and monitoring."
"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."
"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."
"It's very scalable. We like the idea that we can put four chassis in one of our racks, and we can connect up to 25 chassis, so the scalability to us, and being able to sync all those into one management portal, is unheard of. You can't really sync that many blades and chassis together in any other platform."
"OneView is head and shoulders above the competition in this space."
"It is helping us sort of bridge a gap that we are having moving off of old legacy systems, like HP-UX systems and trying to move over to x86. So, it is helping fill a hardware gap that a lot of our platforms have needed in the past."
"Technical support is excellent. They are very helpful."
"With OneView, we can take care of all our servers in one dashboard."
"The stability is very good. We haven't had any outages."
"In the data center, you see customers with a lot of blade enclosures and a lot of servers, and this solution works fine."
"We're able to provision different applications, different demonstrations, add cloud-like speeds on-prem, which is unheard of in the industry."
 

Cons

"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."
"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."
"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."
"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"HPE Integrity needs improvement in terms of pricing for scalability."
"Pricing is very high."
"HPE Integrity has always been one step behind in areas like virtualization technologies, cloud enablement, the speed of backups, and replication."
"It has affected the productivity of our development team in a bad way. When we first stood the hardware up 18 months ago, the image streaming capacity and capability were not very good at all. We had hoped that it would allow us to be more composable and be able to switch over from one version of an operating system to another version of an operating system. However, it wasn't ready for prime time yet. Therefore, we had to go back to a deployment of bare metal install. We are still waiting and trying to figure out how we can do the composable infrastructure."
"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?"
"Having a seamless DR implementation would help significantly."
"We haven't seen any ROI, and it hasn't reduced our cost of operations."
"The profiles aren't so easy to work with."
"The only issue that we had was our rack was too small. The product is heavy, so it took a lot to get it in there."
"Sometimes there are firmware or software difficulties when connecting between networks or with storage."
"HPE Synergy could improve by developing the chassis to allow for more drives or disks. Currently, it supports only two drives in the blade server, which can be limiting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is not very expensive."
"The pricing is the best."
"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."
"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."
"We are satisfied with its price."
"The cost is high and that is a drawback for some customers."
"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."
"The price point is a little high. We were able to get a good deal on a promotion, to go with it. It would be nice to see the prices come down a little bit."
"Synergy has lowered our total cost of ownership significantly. I would say ballpark around 25 percent, maybe more."
"When we made the purchase of the hardware, we added Professional Services to it."
"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."
"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."
