HPE ProLiant DL Servers Reviews

HPE ProLiant DL Servers are easy to maintain. When we need to update the firmware or we need to log on remotely via the IO management interface. It's very convenient, easy. The supply chain is fast when we need to replace some failed hardware, such as hard drives or power supplies. Most of the time, it only takes a few days. The HPE ProLiant DL Servers services are officially certified for Red Hat usage which is a big advantage.

The solution could improve by providing more best practices from an architectural point of view. What are some recommended configurations for use, such as in a VM environment? HP provides some best practices but they are based on VMware, not on Red Hat. It would benefit for others to see the different use cases. How the HPE ProLiant DL Servers were used in the context of Red hat virtualization, and some configurations as an example to allow us to identify some points that we can improve in our platform. We could make our system more reliable and scalable.

I have been using HPE ProLiant DL Servers for approximately three years.

The stability of the solution is good.

The scalability is good, but it depends on the virtualization software that is used. It does not only depend on the hardware.

All of our employees use this solution because all of our infrastructures are on HPE ProLiant DL Servers.

We open support tickets when needed with HP. They answer pretty fast and the HP engineers are knowledgeable. The agents answer specifically to our needs and we don't have any issue with them.

The solution is web-based making the installation straightforward.

The time it takes for the full implementation depends on the project. The time can vary if it is a small, medium, or large project. This time could also vary between the specific platform that we need to build. The time it takes is typically between three to four weeks.

We did the implementation ourselves.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate HPE ProLiant DL Servers an eight out of ten.

The most common use cases for HPE ProLiant DL Servers are application servers, web servers, and screen servers.

HPE ProLiant DL Servers are customizable, but when you first deploy them, you basically have to rebuild configurations on them. This is true for large orders. But for small orders, you will be tied up with previous configurations of some other brand like Dell.

I have been selling HPE ProLiant DL Servers for 11 years. I configure HP ProLiant and SimpliVity products every day for the purpose of selling. I am not an engineer. I am a sales executive.

The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward and quite easy. A company shouldn't have any issues with the setup.

You can install it in less than ten minutes. It's a pretty quick process.

We handled the implementation ourselves, in-house. It was very easy. Our hardware team, our engineering team, handled the entire process. We have eight engineers on-hand that can handle implementations.

The solution is not cheap. It's quite expensive. It seems less competitive than other options on the market.

You don't pay for a license; you pay for the hardware outright.

We're an integrator. We can help clients set up the solution.

I'd recommend the solution to other organizations. It's a very high-quality product.

In general, we have been very satisfied with the capabilities of the solution. It's well made and works well. I'd rate it at an eight out of ten overall.

We use it for virtualization. We are using its latest version.

It is stable and easy to set up.

They should continue to maintain the stability that is there.

I have not interacted with them.

We didn't use any other solution.

The initial setup was straightforward.

We did it ourselves. You need just one person for its deployment and maintenance.

I would recommend this solution. We plan to keep using this solution. 

I would rate HPE ProLiant DL Servers a nine out of ten.

The product can be used as a host.

The solution has very good performance and has been reliable.

We found that the extensions could be improved and the price could be a little lower.

I have been using this solution for two years.

It is a stable product.

The product has good potential for increased scalability. Currently, we have implemented the product for approximately 400 employees.

The support we experienced was good.

The setup was easy and not complicated.

Since the solution was not difficult to install, we were able to handle the full deployment ourselves with one technician.

The price of the product is a little high.

We still use this solution, but we're actually using an older version. Within our organization, there are roughly 10 users, using this solution.

Although we are happy with HPE ProLiant DL Servers, we are looking to replace them shortly.

HPE ProLiant DL Servers are a great product. We don't have many complaints.

I honestly can't think of any areas for improvement.

We've been using this solution for roughly 10 years.

The technical support is great. I have no complaints about them.

I used to use another solution, but that was over 10 years ago, so it's not relevant.

The initial setup is very straightforward. We installed it within half an hour.

We had some help with the implementation.

The price is a little too high; it could be reduced.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight.

We use this solution for everything. We use it for payment solutions and for the switch.

It is currently deployed on-premises, but we are moving to a private cloud because our requirements have really grown over the years.

Its reliability and after-sales support are very good.

It is too expensive. Its price should be improved.

The system admin interface should have better visibility while troubleshooting a problem, even when the problem is coming from the application.

I have been working with this solution for 20 years.

It is very stable. That's why we have so many of them.

It is very scalable. We are able to add memory and storage. My company supports all the banks in Nigeria, and they use this solution. 

We have very good local support in Nigeria. They're very good. We don't have any problems.

The initial setup is straightforward.

It is just too expensive.

I would advise others to get the technical training for this solution. They would then enjoy this solution very well.

I would rate HPE ProLiant DL Servers a nine out of ten.

We are using these servers as cluster nodes. We are running VM with Hyper-V.

This product is feature-rich and is easy to install.

Sometimes, there are connectivity issues and the server is not able to connect to our SAN. One example is when we reboot from SAN storage, we face issues such as not being able to detect the SAN port. After we installed two new physical hard disks, that issue went away. It should be more stable.

We have been using the ProLiant DL Servers for the past four years.

These servers are stable, although sometimes there are connectivity issues. We do plan to continue using them in the future.

This is a scalable product. We have a five-node cluster with close to 3,500 users using different applications.

Technical support is rapid and very good. They take our calls immediately and resolve issues within four to five hours. The last time we had an issue, it was resolved immediately.

The initial setup is straightforward and easy. It will take about an hour to deploy, from scratch.

We deployed this product ourselves.

We have a data center team and a NOC team, with seven people who are managing these servers.

This is a good product and I can recommend it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
