Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The benefit provided by the solution for my organization stems from the fact that it provides maximum reliability and availability to users."
"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 tool provides good performance and productivity."
"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."
"HPE Integrity is a reliable solution, but you'll need to refurbish the hardware because it's approaching the end of sale."
"Its versatility, performance, and size are most valuable. It is very decent for its size. It has very good performance and very good specifications."
"Support is very helpful."
"It allows for easy management."
"Technical support is excellent. They are very helpful."
"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."
"I believe, compared to the C7000, it delivers a significant amount of innovation and flexibility,"
"The i3S module can be configured to provision storage to all blade servers and boot to any operating system without needing local hard drives."
"The scalability is great."
 

Cons

"HPE Integrity has always been one step behind in areas like virtualization technologies, cloud enablement, the speed of backups, and replication."
"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."
"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."
"Pricing is very high."
"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."
"The manageability must be improved."
"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."
"I would like the ability to take the storage tray that is in a chassis and share it out to multiple chassis, not just the servers within the same chassis. This would be more efficient with resources."
"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."
"Technical support was time consuming and unsatisfactory. The initial product setup was complex, lasing around three weeks to a month."
"A faster Composer module would be a good inclusion for the next release of this solution."
"We haven't seen any ROI, and it hasn't reduced our cost of operations."
"We had an issue during the initial setup with the 40 Gigabyte cards. They weren’t working, so we had to work really closely with HPE support to get them to work."
"I would like to see more nodes in a single chassis so we wouldn't have to purchase additional chassis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."
"The price is not very expensive."
"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."
"The pricing is the best."
"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 biggest cost is the VMware licensing."
"We bought everything outright to start with. We don't do much consumption-based stuff."
"Synergy has lowered our total cost of ownership significantly. I would say ballpark around 25 percent, maybe more."
"We pay for licensing on the fibre channel uplinks, on the Virtual Connect, which is an add-on."
"We do CAPEX."
"The solution can be expensive because it requires both hardware and software purchases."
"The hardware licensing cost is reasonable."
