SHIVAKUMAR A P - PeerSpot reviewer
With an easy setup phase in place, it is suitable for small and large-sized businesses
When you speak of any enhancements in the product, you need to shift to the tool's commercial mode. You get more features in the solution if you pour in more money. If a customer needs some features in the solution, they will have to buy it since certain features are not loaded by default in the server. With entry-level licenses, servers are shipped to customers free of cost. Customers need to pay if they want more and more features in the solution. Every OEM solution in the market, including HPE ProLiant DL, operates similarly. The overall cost of the product needs to be lower, as it is one of the areas of concern in the product.
Santiago Zaragoza - PeerSpot reviewer
Simple to use and compatible with all other operating systems
I would rate the scalability of this solution a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. There are currently about 2,000 users of this solution in our company as it's a hospital. We also have plans to scale further.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In regards to the components that you can put into the servers, I feel that HP provides a wider variety of parts in comparison to Dell. For example, there is the ILO which is a network cable that goes into the server and reports back with an abundance of information about the server, even when it is off."
"This solution is very scalable. When we bought the DL580, we bought it with full capacity. It is great for our business."
"The initial setup was easy."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"The initial setup for HPE ProLiant DL Servers is easy."
"HPE ProLiant DL Servers are a great product. We don't have many complaints."
"HPE offers the products we need. They come back with solutions. It's uncomplicated to deal with HPE."
"The robustness of the design of the server is the most valuable. HP servers are easy to use and user-friendly. The server is not complicated, and it is easy to use ILO systems."
"The most valuable thing about Huawei FusionServer is the fact that it's easy to use."
 

Cons

"The technical support has room for improvement."
"They can increase the controller cache. Currently, it has a controller cache of up to 4 GB. The RAID controller card comes with a maximum of 4 GB cache in HPE servers, whereas it comes with a maximum of 8 GB cache in Dell servers. They can also improve the port size. HP provides a 25 GB port on the server, whereas both Dell and Cisco provide a 100 GB port."
"The technical support response time has room for improvement."
"When it comes to security there can always be room for improvement. If there was an option to build security into the system it would be an advantage."
"The support lifecycle for the product for the Telco application should be better."
"There are concerns about the HPE team in the Southeast Asia region, suggesting a need for improvements in terms of responsiveness. There have been instances where the response time was slow, causing challenges during urgent situations. Its stability also needs to improve."
"If they could put a SAN storage or resend it in the same product, it would be very helpful and more powerful."
"The price in general, including the licensing fee, could be better."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more features not in the hardware but in the platform where I can manage all the servers and the hardware of the servers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They should reduce the prices as it is a significant concern for developing countries."
"This was a one-time purchase for us because it's hardware that we purchased from HPE. There aren't any licensing costs."
"I give the cost a ten out of ten."
"This is an expensive product and there is licensing required for iLO, which is the HPE monitoring system."
"Proliant DL Servers have a reasonable cost. They are not as expensive as the Cisco servers. Everything is included when you purchase a server. You just have to install and configure it."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I give the pricing a six out of ten."
