We performed a comparison between HPE Integrity and HPE Synergy based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Blade Servers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"The product's most valuable features are troubleshooting and monitoring."
"It is very fast and easy to use."
"The tool provides good performance and productivity."
"What I like about HPE Integrity servers is how stable and easy to use they are."
"HPE Integrity is a reliable solution, but you'll need to refurbish the hardware because it's approaching the end of sale."
"It is first in class for composable infrastructure. It has the scalability that meets our future needs and the automation that builds into something that we are really looking forward to using."
"The solution help us to implement new business requirements quickly, since it is easy and quick to upgrade our capacity."
"OneView is head and shoulders above the competition in this space."
"It's a fully integrated solution with OneView."
"Great flexibility including configuring the interconnects on the use of the chassis."
"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."
"For me, this is the best frame server technology available in the market. We can compare it to Cisco UCS. It is robust and stable, and it is also easy to deploy and scale. Their support is the best."
"Everybody noticed very large improvement in data processing. A lot of activity which took hours now takes, let's say, tens of minutes."
"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."
"The virtualization of HPE Integrity could be simplified. We have discussed this issue with HPE and hopefully, they will have an update."
"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."
"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"HPE Integrity needs improvement in terms of pricing for scalability."
"After delivering the contract, they became a little less active. So, it needs some pushing from my side sometimes."
"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 main challenge we faced was that when it was installed it just did not work. There were faulty components and it took weeks of troubleshooting to find the faulty components, get them replaced. Getting help from HPE was difficult. Nobody knew about the product. It was a brand-new product and people had not been trained on it. That part was not a great experience."
"The technical support was about the only negative experience that I had. It was a mixed bag when we were first standing it up. We had some requirements from our information security department, and technical support wasn't able to give me immediate answers. They had to engage engineering, which they did, then they got me the answers. However, it took a week of back and forth conversations and phone calls to get it all worked out."
"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."
"Synergy could probably do some code enhancements to simplify the deployment a bit more."
"We'd like to see faster networking in the back-end."
"They were not so deep into integration with VMware."
