HPE ProLiant DL Servers Reviews

We are a solution provider and the ProLiant DL Servers are one of the products that we implement for our customers. They are primarily used as domain controllers and file servers. One of our customers also uses them for Nutanix.

The most valuable feature is stability.

The price of this solution should be lowered to make it more competitive.

We have been working with the HPE ProLiant DL Servers for about two years.

These servers are stable and we plan to continue working with them.

This is a scalable product.

We are satisfied with the technical support from HPE.

The initial setup is straightforward and they take between a day and two days to deploy.

Our in-house team is responsible for deployment. One person is enough for deployment and maintenance.

This is an expensive product and there is licensing required for iLO, which is the HPE monitoring system. There are no charges in addition to this.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

HPE iLO remote console, Its hot-plug design is in almost every part of its servers.

HPE servers always deliver stunning stability and performance to our customers, and support from HPE is always nice and fast.

More cloud and mobile features for monitoring.

2.5 years.

No.

No.

Excellent.

It's straightforward and clear if we read the manual.

There’s Dell PowerEdge R series, but I prefer HPE for more agile and great management tools.

It is very advanced at low cost, with good service and a guarantee.

It gives you what you need with peace of mind because the system works. Service usually is provided within four hours.

It is very stable. I see that it works. I don’t find many problems that require calling a technician to solve. It gives you peace of mind.

What we usually do is evaluate our customers’ needs and find a solution that suits them. We don’t sell the same product to everybody, but we consider the size of the company and other factors. It is scalable for small businesses and large.

Technical support is fine, but sometimes they don’t answer that quickly. Sometimes you need to make one phone call after another and wait until they get back to you. Once they do, everything works.

As far as I know, the deployment is smooth and easy. If not, it goes to another department. Usually our technician can help us from far away. We don't even have to come physically. The software and the hardware work fine. Once it's working, it's working.

Often our customers consider Dell as an alternative solution because of the price. Customers say that HPE is much more advanced technically, mainly in terms of storage. It also has much more storage compared to Dell.

The most valuable features are its flexibility and stability.

The main benefit was the low price, so it saved us a lot of money.

We are not looking for new features in the DL260. Instead, we are looking at Synergy.

Compared to blade servers, it could use more flexibility to expand with new features, and to connect new storage systems and so on. It’s not so easy and not always possible.

We have had no downtime. It is generally up.

We haven’t really had to scale the product.

Most of the time, technical support was efficient and very fast. Usually, it required a hardware replacement, so it worked every time.

We generally switched from Novell to Microsoft; and then we used HPE. We also previously used Compaq, which I think was part of HPE.

We never looked at Dell or IBM.

The initial setup was very simple.

Buy Synergy. :)

Look for the flexibility of the system; and get everything from one partner.

The most important criteria when we choose a vendor is the range of products available. HPE has a huge range of products: switches, servers, storage systems, and so on.
