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."
"It is very fast and easy to use."
"The tool provides good performance and productivity."
"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 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."
"The benefit provided by the solution for my organization stems from the fact that it provides maximum reliability and availability to users."
"It gives us ease of use. It's nice because we don't have to mess with networking once it's set up. Once it's done, we just put another blade in and go from there. We don't have to go back in, run more cables, deal with more data center stuff. We stick a blade in, use the server profile template, build out a server profile from that, and it just goes."
"I love the satellite architecture for the Virtual Connect. I think this is great. I love the storage drawer, which you can present volumes to any compute node within the same frame."
"Everything is in one place. We have one place to with OneView. It provides one console with one place to get to everything. The one interface makes it easier. We have one guy who does almost everything in it."
"With OneView, we can take care of all our servers in one dashboard."
"The solution help us to implement new business requirements quickly, since it is easy and quick to upgrade our capacity."
"It has had a positive effect on the efficiency of our IT infrastructure team. The manageability of it is so easy, we're able to install it quickly, and replacement parts are easy to get in and out quickly."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."
"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."
"The virtualization of HPE Integrity could be simplified. We have discussed this issue with HPE and hopefully, they will have an update."
"Pricing is very high."
"The deployment time of a system through OneView is pretty slow, but apparently that's being addressed in an upcoming update."
"The cost is quite high."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"When templates are created, there are some steps where you need to reboot the machines. Being in production, this is not a good idea. For example, if you reconfigure the network, you should not have to reboot the machine. You should just apply the new template and that's it."
"Instead of having Synergy vertical, make it horizontal. It is easier to stick in when it is vertical."
"We'd like to see faster networking in the back-end."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."
"The pricing is the best."
"The price is not very expensive."
"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."
"Nutanix was really hard to implement, and it was very pricey compared to what we get from Synergy."
"We pay for licensing on the fibre channel uplinks, on the Virtual Connect, which is an add-on."
"We outright purchased Synergy."
"The cost is high and that is a drawback for some customers."
"There is a perpetual license given when you purchase HPE Synergy."
"The solution can be expensive because it requires both hardware and software purchases."
"We bought everything outright to start with. We don't do much consumption-based stuff."
"It costs us around $60,000 a year."
