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

"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."
"The benefit provided by the solution for my organization stems from the fact that it provides maximum reliability and availability to users."
"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."
"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."
"HPE Synergy is a stable solution."
"On the previous HPE platform, we struggled because everything was independent. We had to manage firmware on each server, storage and network configuration on each server. Synergy is template-driven so we can ensure consistency of all of those settings. It allows us to standardize configuration and ensure consistency across the board."
"The solution has decreased the deployment time for a new blade, saving us three hours."
"Valuable features include its dependability, reliability, and the ease of managing the system."
"The most valuable features of HPE Synergy are the two composers."
"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."
"Great flexibility including configuring the interconnects on the use of the chassis."
"The solution's greatest strengths lie in its ability to maintain a high availability and combine networking with hyper channel connectivity into a single component."
 

Cons

"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."
"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"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 manageability must be improved."
"Pricing is very high."
"They were not so deep into integration with VMware."
"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."
"The lowest echelon of HPE technical support is sadly uninformed, unknowledgeable, and dependent on wrote scripts. They won't answer a question without going through their script. It's not like you're actually talking to somebody who has any depth or time using any of the equipment."
"A big thing for me is moving InfoSight for ProLiant into OneView, or at least connecting it. Today we have to use the iLO Amplifier Pack and that would require us to reconfigure iLO on every single one of the servers, independently, to get that data into InfoSight. We're really looking for a single control and management plane."
"The power consumption is very high, and there should be a more efficient way of reducing the power requirements while maintaining high performance."
"The performance could be better. The converged network cards initially didn't work. However, later on in the newer version, they came up with 50 GB network cards to replace the 20 GB ones, and it's perfectly fine now. At times, it could also be more stable."
"We have flaky things, like a lot of bad fans."
"There is always room for improvement. Based on our use cases, I don't believe there are any additional features required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."
"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."
"The price is not very expensive."
"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"The pricing is the best."
"When we made the purchase of the hardware, we added Professional Services to it."
"The solution has reduced our IT infrastructure costs by 50 percent."
"In our whole environment, the cost is in the millions. On this particular chassis, the annual cost is 12 blades times approximately $40,000."
"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."
"Nutanix was really hard to implement, and it was very pricey compared to what we get from Synergy."
"We are satisfied with its price."
"The hardware licensing cost is reasonable."
"We don't have to pay for Synergy because it's part of our plan."
