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

"The benefit provided by the solution for my organization stems from the fact that it provides maximum reliability and availability to users."
"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."
"It is very fast and easy to use."
"This is a reliable server, and many applications are integrated there."
"What I like about HPE Integrity servers is how stable and easy to use they are."
"The product's most valuable features are troubleshooting and monitoring."
"HPE Integrity is a reliable solution, but you'll need to refurbish the hardware because it's approaching the end of sale."
"All components in the HPE Synergy solution are redundant; if we experience any downtime in a component, a redundant one is available in our Synergy frame, therefore the downtime and stability for HPE Synergy solution are very good and highly appreciated."
"Shorter delivery times. Where we now have a delivery time of about six weeks, we hope to go back to days."
"It makes it simpler for me to manage my environment. It is one pane of glass, compared to multiple."
"The centralized management of HPE Synergy is beneficial because it is easy to manage and administer."
"Orchestrating automations is great because you can connect to other tools with the REST API and automate components."
"Improved storage, scalability, and ease-of-use."
"The solution has decreased our deployment time by 10 to 20 percent."
"The most valuable features are the converged network adapters."
 

Cons

"The virtualization of HPE Integrity could be simplified. We have discussed this issue with HPE and hopefully, they will have an update."
"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."
"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."
"Pricing is very high."
"The manageability must be improved."
"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."
"I'd like to see the firmware updates, as well as the built-in OneView and imager in Composer, become a little more powerful and faster."
"Over the two years of using HPE Synergy, we have found some hardware failures that are frequent in the SOP models, CNA cards, and converged network adapters. These failures are frequently happening for a lot of the customers."
"The initial setup was complex. From what I was told, there were issues initially with getting the SFPs on the floor for our data center and something with the image, but I think that was on our service provider' side. They couldn't get the image to deploy with the right drivers and stuff."
"They have not improved their product since it was purchased."
"I'd get the firmware to be a little more secure and a little more streamlined."
"The initial setup was complex. It was slow and just didn't work. Even HPE couldn't make it work for 45 days."
"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 solution must concentrate on improving the product quality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."
"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"The pricing is the best."
"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."
"The price is not very expensive."
"We outright purchased Synergy."
"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."
"We do CAPEX."
"There was at least about a 20 percent savings in cost over our purchase based on the purchase price of the compute modules themselves versus what we've had to pay before. It was significantly less."
"It costs us around $60,000 a year."
"The price point is a little high. We were able to get a good deal on a promotion, to go with it. It would be nice to see the prices come down a little bit."
"When we made the purchase of the hardware, we added Professional Services to it."
"Nutanix was really hard to implement, and it was very pricey compared to what we get from Synergy."
