Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We don't have any issues with the stability of HPE NonStop.""Feature-wise, the most valuable one is the fact that it has 100 hundred percent uptime every year. Secondly, it is stable.""The stability of HPE NonStop is good."

More HPE NonStop Pros →

"The manageability is its most valuable feature. It is a fully managed platform, which is very simple to manage.""The solution is built very well. It's very robust and durable.""We like that the solution can be arranged for an all-in-one single pane of glass, something our customers find important.""Ability to easily re-utilize parts of the hardware for different purposes.""The most valuable features of this solution are the ease of management and the integration with OneView.""The flexibility to link them together and configure them gives us the ability to scale out easily, to add more compute resources as needed... The way that they're scalable and flexible means we can add additional servers in quickly... We're not spending a lot of time doing procurement and building of physical servers.""This is above and beyond anything else any of the competitors have on the market. If you're researching this, you're going down the right path.""The composable infrastructure allows us to build our own server profiles, then build up the infrastructure that we need from compute modules."

Cons
"It is not flexible...Not a lot of applications run on HPE NonStop.""HPE NonStop could improve by having infrastructure management.""It would be helpful if they brought the price down."

More HPE NonStop Cons →

"Technical support for this solution has a very good initial response; however, escalation takes time, and most of the time the first level of support cannot solve your case.""Product documentation is disorganized.""The expansion was complex, because adding a second frame onto the original frame caused an outage.""Changes to the solution are quite complex.""In the past, I have had issues with configurations.""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.""The solution must concentrate on improving the product quality.""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 NonStop is definitely on the higher end."
  • "The price of the solution is too high. If they lowered the price substantially it would open up more opportunities. It's considered a replacement for the old 9000 boxes of HP. If it had a lower price, we would be able to compete in the financial, and other sectors and other solutions such as Terraform. Having a high price makes other solutions more attractive."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
  • More HPE NonStop Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The Nutanix platform came in a little more expensive than the Synergy."
  • "The solution has reduced our IT infrastructure costs because we have had to buy less services than we used to."
  • "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 do a biannual renewal. I know how much that renewal is, but I don't know how much it breaks down to be just Synergy, since we have our VMware, all of our physical equipment, etc. all rolled up into one renewal, which is a little over $300,000 every two years. However, only a subset of that is the Synergy product."
  • "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."
  • "Synergy has lowered our total cost of ownership significantly. I would say ballpark around 25 percent, maybe more."
  • "We bought everything outright to start with. We don't do much consumption-based stuff."
