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."
"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."
"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 product's most valuable features are troubleshooting and monitoring."
"It is very fast and easy to use."
"HPE Integrity is a reliable solution, but you'll need to refurbish the hardware because it's approaching the end of sale."
"The scalability is very good. The ability to link chassis or frames together makes it simplistic, especially with the use of OneView."
"This is above and beyond anything else any of the competitors have on the market. If you're researching this, you're going down the right path."
"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."
"It makes life easier for us when we are deploying new technology, as we have the building blocks already in place."
"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 stability is very good. We haven't had any outages."
"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."
"The product enables the centralization of all administrative tasks."
 

Cons

"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 needs improvement in terms of pricing for scalability."
"Pricing is very high."
"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."
"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The Synergy platform is HPE-specific and more for on-premises. You're kind of locked in with VMware and the HPE with the VMs. The Nutanix offering is a bit more flexible."
"HPE Synergy could improve its remote support."
"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."
"The cost is quite high."
"This solution could be improved by increasing the speed on the conversion adapters. It should be 100 gigs."
"​Because we're using 2012, we're having issues making templates."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."
"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."
"We do CAPEX."
"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."
"The solution can be expensive because it requires both hardware and software purchases."
"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."
"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."
"We have already paid once. It is just the price for the permit and its use. It seems you don't have to keep paying for it, but I am not sure."
"We don't have to pay for Synergy because it's part of our plan."
