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.

Helps grow horizontally or vertically within one box or chassis
The initial setup is very easy. We deployed this in two days, including installation, system setup, firmware upgrades, configuration, and network connection. By the next day, we were already deploying virtual machines. We initially began with the Blade system. As the migration to SAP HANA approached, it seemed prudent to upgrade our hardware. Consequently, we facilitated their transition from the Blade system to Synergy. Subsequently, we collaborated closely with the SAP consultancy company to oversee the migration process, ensuring seamless integration of all workloads and sub-environments. We have four people working on the deployment, including a project manager, two specialists, and one tech support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very fast and easy to use."
"The product's most valuable features are troubleshooting and monitoring."
"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 tool provides good performance and productivity."
"This is a reliable server, and many applications are integrated there."
"HPE Integrity is a reliable solution, but you'll need to refurbish the hardware because it's approaching the end of sale."
"The benefit provided by the solution for my organization stems from the fact that it provides maximum reliability and availability to users."
"What I like about HPE Integrity servers is how stable and easy to use they are."
"The most valuable features of HPE Synergy are the two composers."
"Orchestrating automations is great because you can connect to other tools with the REST API and automate components."
"The most valuable features are the converged network adapters."
"The single pane of glass management is huge, because in all our previous systems, depending on what we were managing, we would go to a different management point. Being able to go to one spot to get everything is helpful. I find that server profile creation is a lot easier in OneView than it was previously. We are able to stay compliant with firmware and updates, because we are assigning server profiles and reapplying them when there are changes. This makes everything a lot simpler."
"We bought it with the intent to replace the c7000 workstation blades. It is bigger than the workstation blades in core count, memory, and graphical capabilities. So, it has broadened us in that regard, and we have more capabilities."
"Changing the form factor in Synergy allows us to have more RAM, which is significantly helpful for us."
"The stability is very good. We haven't had any outages."
"It makes it simpler for me to manage my environment. It is one pane of glass, compared to multiple."
 

Cons

"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"HPE Integrity has always been one step behind in areas like virtualization technologies, cloud enablement, the speed of backups, and replication."
"Pricing is very high."
"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."
"The manageability must be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup was complex. We had a couple of bright engineers working on it, and they figured out a lot of things that they don't know... The problem was that they couldn't find documentation easily, to walk them through setup when they just didn't know the platform."
"We haven't seen any ROI, and it hasn't reduced our cost of operations."
"Gen 11 is being released. That's going to have a lot of advantages over Gen 10 and previous generations in terms of the cooling modules in the servers to keep them cooler and run with more efficiency and better performance. There are more management features with iLO 6 and the latest OneView management."
"The deployment time of a system through OneView is pretty slow, but apparently that's being addressed in an upcoming update."
"HPE Synergy could improve its remote support."
"One of the things that I would like to see, and could be in their road map, is getting virtual connect to 100 Gig throughput."
"The initial setup was complex. It was slow and just didn't work. Even HPE couldn't make it work for 45 days."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."
"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."
"The pricing is the best."
"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"The price is not very expensive."
"The solution can be expensive because it requires both hardware and software purchases."
"The biggest cost is the VMware licensing."
"There is a perpetual license given when you purchase HPE Synergy."
"We pay about £500 for the solution."
"We bought everything outright to start with. We don't do much consumption-based stuff."
"Our IT infrastructure costs have gone up each year by 20 percent."
"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."
"When we made the purchase of the hardware, we added Professional Services to it."
