Room For Improvement

HPE Synergy users seek better integration, speed, networking simplicity, support, storage sharing, UI enhancements, and improved security and deployment.
For organizations with demanding data-intensive workloads, however, the value proposition is very compelling.

Technical support definitely needs significant improvement.
Senior Network Engineer at Holy Redeemer Health System, Inc.
I would like to see tighter integration with backup vendor software, specifically around the retention lock, compliance lock, compliance mode, safe mode for immutability and indelibility, as well as how it handles the tiering.

Currently, it supports only two drives in the blade server, which can be limiting.

Setup Cost

Pure Storage FlashBlade justifies its high price with exceptional performance, reliability, inclusive licensing, and long-term value through simplified management.
HPE Synergy's high costs include notable VMware licensing fees, but discounts and strategic value may justify the expense.
Regarding pricing, it is okay; we needed exactly this in size, and the price was a lot lower than competitors, making it good for us.
IT Manager at Regin Dalarna
The pricing of Pure Storage FlashBlade is expensive compared to other products I used from other companies in the past, but one benefit is that they have built-in ransomware protection.
Senior Network Engineer at Holy Redeemer Health System, Inc.
Pricing in the blade server market is very competitive, with HPE offering a competitive price.

Valuable Features

Everpure FlashBlade delivers high-performance storage with scalability, low latency, and ease of use, ideal for AI and analytics.
HPE Synergy offers composable infrastructure, flexibility, and OneView integration, enhancing deployment, resource management, scalability, and system reliability.
The best features Everpure FlashBlade offers, which stand out to both me and our customers, are its exceptional performance for AI and analytics workloads, its ability to scale seamlessly, its unified file and object storage architecture, and simplicity of management.
Vendor business manager at TD SYNNEX BRASIL
The cyber resiliency features of immutability and indelibility resonate with my customers as well. Given today's cyber threat landscape, the immutability and indelibility features of Everpure FlashBlade are no longer a nice-to-have; they are hard requirements coming from the top leadership, C-suite, down to a lot of the customers that I talk to.
Senior Solution Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
We can plug in many blades, and we can have data up to one terabyte.
IT Field Support Engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
It offers significant compute power in approximately ten rack units, making it practical for workload optimization.

Featured Reviews

MikaelHellström - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Manager at Regin Dalarna
Has handled backup storage needs reliably and supports seamless upgrades
In environments requiring high throughput and low latency, Pure Storage FlashBlade provides high throughput and normal latency, but we do not have any application that requires low latency right now, so the latency of three to five milliseconds is considered kind of high. Pure Storage FlashBlade's ability to integrate with enterprise applications is not important for us, as we only want to present an S3 bucket for our backup, which we have done, and it works very fast. We use the Purity software's data reduction techniques; we have a backup software that compresses everything before sending it to the S3 bucket, achieving a data reduction of 1.1 to one. I would recommend Pure Storage FlashBlade to other companies because it's a very fast and scalable solution for anyone who needs it. On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution an 8.
