The management console is very good. It allows for a wide variety of management capabilities. It's very easy to use. I can get analytics as well. I can see the performance and look up bottlenecks.

The availability is very good. 

It offers the best performance for my workloads. It offers very nice flash arrays. 

The configuration is pretty good. 

It is stable. 

The most valuable feature I have found for HPE ProLiant DL Servers HPE was SmartStart. However, it is not available in the newer versions. 

We like that the solution is very easy to use. Many companies use it in our market. In Iran, we don't have many options, and HP is one of them. 

It works well overall. 

It can scale.

It's reliable and stable. 

We find the solution easy to set up.

HP ProLiant servers provide redundant solutions for almost everything. You can set up multiple power supplies, with a primary power source and a secondary power supply connected on UPS. If the power goes out in the building, the UPS will supply power to the host at all times. The solution can run on batteries for many hours, depending on your battery and UPS capacity. 

ProLiant servers also offer multiple networking interfaces, so they can be connected to various network equipment concurrently, allowing you to avoid disruptions from the network or internet connections. They are redundant in every area.

The solution is stable. I have not had any problems with it.

The most valuable features are the stability and the scalability.

What I like most about HPE ProLiant DL Servers is that it gives the support and hardware availability that my company requires.

The most valuable features of HPE ProLiant DL Servers are convenience and the interface is good.

The most valuable feature of the solution is HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO). HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) is a remote management platform from which you can remotely manage all the physical servers. HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) allows you to do many things, including power cycling of servers and deployment of applications monitoring of servers. In general, you can power cycle and restart servers with the help of the aforementioned feature.

ProLiant servers are more reliable than other platforms.

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.

The most valuable feature of the solution is scalability.

Our monitoring tool has a database, so we need a server with a fast IO. 

I trust the hardware mostly. 

There are some features like intelligent provisioning, et cetera, which are quite useful.

The ILO for management is great.

It's scalable.

The solution is stable and reliable. 

HPE's iLO server management software is a handy tool to install and deploy. OneView is also suitable for management, but you need a license for it. You can use OneView's monitoring features for free, but you need to pay for management capabilities. In the latest generation, Gen10, you have to add a license for iLO. In addition, generation 10 requires an ISO license to use iLO for management. And if you're working with Synergy, there is another new product like SimpliVity. SimpliVity has a helpful product that is based on ProLiant and another type of architecture similar to Apollo.

The most valuable features are redundancy, flexibility, and compatibility with operating systems.

The quality and the technical support are the most valuable features.

HPE service in Taiwan is quick and professional, and ProLiant is cost-effective compared to Dell. Dell is good for one or two servers, but HPE is cheaper than Dell for a large deployment. Cost is the most important thing in the market.

ProLiant DL servers are the best on the market. The models support an extensive list of Intel processors.

Technical support is helpful.

It's very easy to set up.

The product has a more flexible infrastructure and management consultation in comparison to Dell.

It's energy-efficient. It's consumed less energy than the previous solution and the performance is great.

This is all I've ever used. These servers are strong, and they have very few failures on them. They are also easy to manage and monitor.

The scalability, rapidness, and computing are actually very good. It's a Gen9 server that we've been working with, so it is pretty good.

Where there is a need to actually expand on the capacity, it's easily done, especially when more memory is needed.

While there is nothing specific that I like about HP server products, they are stable, as much so as Dell EMC.

The commonality between the systems is very valuable, and it is very easy to manage.

Performance and reliability are the most valuable features. 

Stability and a lower failure rate are the most valuable features.

The most valuable feature is consistency to the cost. We understand what we're going to get, and we also understand the price-point that we're entering into.

The server hardware is valuable and it works. It's a server platform. It's comparable to everything else on the market. It works in a pretty reliable fashion.

Compatibility is the best feature of the solution.

It's very useful.

It's easy to upgrade, and it is very easy to take care of the firmware upgrades.

With a complete bootable CD, we can do the upgrades quite remotely and pretty easily.

It is very stable. This is the feedback that I'm getting from my customers for the hardware. It is also 100% scalable.

HPE is also very specialized when it comes up to the server industry. It is not only about the rack servers; it is also about the blade servers. They were the first ones to bring these to the market more than ten years ago. 

I would say it's well documented and you can find exactly what the configuration is easily as well as the drivers and other documentation that they require to get a junior staff member up and running on the platform.

Most valuable for us are ease of use, the ability to quickly view the system for health and how to get into the consols.

The GPU units, processor speed, and capabilities are most valuable. Desktop video conferencing is also valuable. It supports desktop video conferencing much better for graphics.

The initial setup is very easy.

The solution scales well.

The pricing of the product is fair and not too expensive.

The product is very stable.

The iLO. To me, its the differentiating factor of the ProLiant server and the biggest reason I'd choose to run them versus competitors. The iLO provides all the management features needed and is a consistent experience across all form factors, sizes and lines of ProLiant.

The most valuable features of HPE ProLiant DL Servers are very high quality.

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.

We value the ease of management in terms of the firmware. The hardware is very toolless to work with, so when you have to do a part replacement it's very hands-on friendly. You don't have to grab any quick tools nearby to swap out modules and such.

The fact that they are consistent. I don't have to relearn for the 80 sites I support.

I like their scalability. The fact that where I have 24 drives in one of my servers, I can basically turn it into its own little storage tray if I want to, and then attach a server to it. It's really good for applications that you use really heavy disk IO.

I've been a ProLiant customer for years, since the late '90s. The ProLiant series has been very innovative over the years, compared to some of the competition that are not so innovative. It's very dependable, and they keep maturing the product more and more. Especially now, I'm looking at the Hyper Converged 380, so they're re-inventing new ways to use that technology. That's a great thing right there, with the Hyper Converged space as well. The management of them is valuable. I specifically don't use them on a daily basis, I have my engineers that do since they can easily manage the servers.

For us, the iLO feature is essential because it provides us with server management capabilities and we have a distributed-base installation.

The most valuable feature is the tech support. They have a high level of expertise and they are fast.

The speed of the backups and having the system be immune to ransomware are the main advantages. Additionally, It is very user-friendly, repairable, flexible, and anybody can easily learn it.

Reliability is a valuable feature for us. We use the DL380s throughout our data centers and they've proven to be very reliable.

The most valuable features are reliability, the ease of implementation and setup. It's all wizard-driven. Also, maintenance on the devices, spare parts availability, and, as I’ve mentioned, reliability.

There are several valuable features of these servers, including their reliability, the general standardization of components, expandability, price, and support. I think they're miles ahead of the competition in these areas.

• Scalability
• Performance
• Out-of-band management
• Support

• iLO gives hardware information, preempting imminent failures.
• Redundancy features provide hot-swap ability for drives and power supplies and automatic rebuilding of RAIDs.

The most valuable features for us are remote management, high load, and resilience. We're a small team but we have servers in Moscow, Milan, and other places. This is a solution that allows us to be in those different places.

Reliability and supportability are the most valuable features. We can upgrade our drivers and other software and smoothly to roll it out to the enterprise.

I've been using HP for quite a few years, so my knowledge base of HP products is good. We like to standardize on them. We also have good relationships with HP vendors. That's the reason why we've been going with the HP ProLiants.

I really like the way we can do the storage in cells, for putting operating systems on them. The redundancy, as far as power supplies, hard drives, etc. Ease of use is key.

I think the high availability features that are built into the server as our systems require a certain amount of uptime. Having to buy less servers because of built-in redundancy, means I have to buy less pieces of iron. It's a line that I'm comfortable with. I think it's something that HPE has put the investment into for the long-term.

It has easy manageability, and with iLO we are able to do everything remotely.

It’s very powerful, so we can offer good services for our network. It offers a very reliable framework for our judicial needs. Hyper-V software gave us more capacity to consistently meet our judges' needs. I think the most valuable feature, from my end, is that HP is a strong platform on which to host our services. It has good life-cycle performance and it will work continuously. In general, it’s a very good machine.

The product is compatible and flexible for small and medium businesses. Scaling is a big advantage of this solution. It simplifies our processes. I think HPE will have an advantage in the next phase because of their new GreenLake technology that will simplify things for small and medium businesses.

HPE ProLiant DL Servers have good performance and they support different types of applications.

We get good performance with HPE ProLiant DL Servers. They are really stable. We run all our applications smoothly. We have no problem at all.

It provides support for the organization in terms of the commodity hardware as compared to the other HPE competitors. It provides stability for the servers.

We value the reliability of these servers.

We find it very easy to train people to use them and their reliability is very high. It’s usually cheaper than the competitor. We don't have any one vendor that we always use, so we tend to go out there and look at the best solution based on metrics such as price, quality, reliability, and HPE usually comes out on top.

Scalability and being able to customize the service in just the way that we really want it.

One of the most valuable features is iLO, which is very good. Another thing is the HPE support is very good. 

This solution is perfect. From the time of purchase, it was state-of-the-art, and still, after five, 10 years, they still meet our demands extremely well.

It is easy to use and it also has good performance.

The solution has excellent management capabilities. The iLO is very good. It's got excellent stability and provides a solid performance.

The hardware is reliable.

To deploy one server takes less than a day. You don't need too many engineers.

Performance is the main feature of this product. For customers, the performance is excellent. It has been performing very well in the DL380 series interaction, and so far now, it is G10, and it is doing well. 

I believe it is much easier when you are trying to install something or trying to figure out any issues with it. Even though the booting up process itself is a little bit slower, it is easier to work with the HPE 360s and 380s.

I like the way the installation process goes. It's much easier to understand what you're doing. It's easy to troubleshoot and if you are stuck with any of the hardware issues, HPE comes on site. They don't come with just one part which is affecting it, but they come with other parts as well. This makes it easy, because they don't have to make multiple visits and the solution will be repaired in just one visit.

It has 26 internal disc slots and will take 12 gig SAS discs. We needed to run a SQL server availability groups on a pair of these, and we needed to be able build a high-speed, high-performance disc array to hold our data. The DL380 Gen-9, along with the P830 controller card with the SAS expander, gives us phenomenal performance on 10K SAS discs. They outperformed our existing SAN by a factor of 8 to 10 times.

• Reliability
• Scalability
• Performance

I am impressed with the tool’s stability.

Flexibility, scalability, and being a standard. I've used during my career. It's useful to know exactly where to go for information and where to go for support. It just works.

It's pretty quick. It's much easier to maintain than other servers we had before. We believe that the 380s are more stable than the other HPE servers that we had before.

This kind of product is mainly a cost product. You need to have a good price. It is not a question of big features because there are no main differences between products.

I think the main feature is that it works. We have good management for the product, HPE OneView, which might be a good feature of the product, where you can manage it. Instead of the hardware technology, that is it.

The flexibility of using storage options would be one valuable feature. Another would be competitive pricing. And yet another would the quite high top speeds on the processor.

It's also the simplicity and user friendliness that's important to us. The only issues we've had were software related from our own side, but not from HP.

The provisioning is something you want to do regardless of the actual types of hardware that you use as you want it as wide as possible.

• It helps with work-load management
• It's a reliable solution
• It's easy to fix
• It's easy to work with and manage

It's just a solid server. You put it up and it just kind of runs. It's not a whole bunch of jumping through hoops or anything to configure it. It's pretty straightforward. It's really all you can say about the ProLiant servers.

Stability is the most important feature. We use it for the infrastructure as a service. We need stable service.

I like the centralized systems, and I like the fact that they’re rugged. When they get delivered to you, there are no failures and they’ve already been tested and ready to go. For us it was important because we had to install about 20 of them in one week.

HPE ProLiant DL Servers are easy to use and the GUI is rather simple and intuitive. The Americans know how to make things beautiful. Their Japanese counterpart has outdated GUIs. There is a lot of other services and software that HPE provides for the server. The software can connect all the infrastructure to form a unified management or monitoring system.

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.

Its management, IOs, and stability are the most valuable features. It works fine. 

It has all the features of a typical server. All that can be done has already been done. 

I just like the reliability of them. I've never had an issue with them.

What is good about HPE servers is that you have a consistent way and how to manage them across all the lines. You don't have to learn something for one type of server and then have to learn something else for a different type of server. If you have different types of servers, you can always build on the knowledge you have and you have a unified way to approach things in configuration, in setting up, maintaining, and so on and so forth.

I found HP Virtual Connect (VC) technology to be the most valuable. VC technology simplifies networking configuration for the server administrator using an HP BladeSystem c-Class environment. VC adds a hardware abstraction layer that removes the direct coupling between the LAN and SAN. Hence, it reduces the number of cables required for an enclosure, the number of edge switches, enables direct server-to-server connectivity within the BladeSystem enclosure and more. This feature can significantly reduce the time required to complete a service event.

The nice thing that we have with the whole ProLiant platform is there's a lot of commonality among the platform. We buy enough servers such that we always have spare parts on hand. When we do need spare parts, HPE is quick to provide them to us. Likewise, when we have issues that require more technical support, the support from HPE has been pretty top notch.

We've got a whole lot of DL380's which are the standard 2U server. We've been switching more over to the blades using the BL460's. But, the ProLiant line all along just works, they're tanks. About the only thing we've ever had to fix is drives that go bad after a while, but usually that mostly happened after a heat incident. They just run. We've got some that have been out of warranty for four - five years and they're still running. G4s we go back to and love we have no reason to change.

It's reliability, really. It just works. It's one of those we've been using for 10 plus years and I've been in the company for 10 years. We rarely have a failure; and it just keeps working. It kind of base builds, ready to go, whereas before you needed to add bits and pieces. We don't need to do that anymore. Just out of the box, plug it in and it goes.

Support is the most valuable feature of the solution.

• They're incredibly reliable and we have no issues running them.
• We rely on the central management because we have a lot of remote locations where we have only limited IT staff.
• We only need to upgrade every five to six years.
• We can buy hardware from any vendor that will work with these servers.

• Manageability
• Ease of maintenance
• Convenience
• Standardization

The most valuable feature is reliability. We virtually have no problems with it. We run most of our applications on ProLiant DLs. We also run Exchange, and proprietary applications such as Attorney Information Manager and an accounting package called ProVantage.

They are good because we can isolate the customer's various stuff onto machines that have everything dedicated, rather than being a blade, where I share stuff with others and they do something dumb.

The reliability of the hardware is a valuable feature. The way it looks is valuable as well, because when we have to set it up at a worker's terminal space, we can just see a nice face on the server and that’s important. It's easy to set up and you can get parts very easily.

We like the reliability of the server. We also like the iLO abilities of the server ... that's what my guys like the most.

The scalability. We use it for our infrastructure because we keep up with the latest generation of technology and so the scalability, the form factor, everything plays well into our data center infrastructure.

The DL380 generation 8 has slots for hard drives in the front. This really separates it from competitors such as Dell. I need that kind of local storage space for each server, which I can make from eight drives. This is like a RAID 6 set-up so that I don't have to worry about just one broken hard drive. We'll automatically get an SNMP problem error from the broken drive.

They are very easy to build and very reliable. On a server, that's the most important thing: reliability. Everything is locked together. They're just nice and quick and easy.

They're reliable and they never break. They're very manageable. The management tools that are available are excellent. We've looked at other solutions in the past, and we always conclude that we don't want to move away from ProLiant and the BladeSystem. They just work, which is basically what our requirement is.

Particularly in the pre-HP days, with Compaq, we used to buy bigger servers, but we've got to a point now where we basically only buy two types of servers, either the ProLiant DL380 or the BL460 Blades. We don't buy any other hardware.

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

We've just found them so reliable and used them for so many years. We have found the quality and backup support reliable. They just tend to do what we want to do with them. So, they are very flexible, upgradable and versatile. Sometimes, you do have some issues but they tend to get repaired/replaced/fixed within a good time.

There is a lot of processors, I am only using half of what I need. In addition, they update the ILO to V. 5 so maintenance remains very easy. You can easily monitor everything from office needs, storage, performance, power supply, and temperature.

• It works
• It's easy to implement
• It's really good in terms of maintenance

Stability. That's about it.

It builds very well, is easy to install, is easy to maintain, is easy to administer remotely.

They are simple, modular and great machines to work with. They offer the best management interface.

They're reliable. They work and I'm familiar with them. The iLO has been a solid out-of-band management tool for us, in comparison to some other out-of-bands that I've had to deal with. The performance out of the box, the stability of the servers, HPE's turnaround for support, and resolving issues.

The product is very easy to use. It's extremely user-friendly.

The solution has always been very stable and reliable.

It's a well-made product. The construction is very high quality.

We found the installation to be very easy. It also does not take very long to deploy.

Technical support has always been very good. They and knowledgeable and they respond in a good amount of time.

I think the most valuable features are the CPU version which is very advanced, and the machine itself is very reliable in terms of how long we can use the hardware. Some of our customers are using it for five years, six years without the need to even replace a single part or use the service from HPE.

HPE is expanding the CPU very quickly, like every few months you get a new CPU and new technology in the field. That's very good for us because we can give our customers a very advanced server. Every three to six months we can upgrade their server if they like; or if we need to upgrade it in terms of using a stronger server such as more cores, etc.

The reliability and the support are probably the most reliable features for us. We enjoy the fact that support is quite good and the products do what they're supposed to do. We use it to host a lot of software development environments, so up-time is important to us. HP's products are very reliable.

The most valuable features for us are the stability and scalability of these servers. However, what's truly key is the support we get.

• Scalability
• Availability
• It’s robust
• Clustering
• Virtualization

I can do with it almost everything within minutes.

It has the scalability of the processors, high core counts, and additional memory capacity.

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

Its reliability and after-sales support are very good.

1. Obviously, they perform what we want them to do.
2. The added extras, I particularly like iLO.
3. Just to be able to manage them and get information about the servers. That is really good.

• Easy to configure
• Reliable

The blades are very compact. They are easy to query. If you need information from them, you have one central location where you can go with OneView to understand where everything is located if you have any problems with them. In that respect, it is better than just standalone servers that you find in the field.

They've been stable and we have got good performance out of them.

The most valuable features of these servers are their stability and efficiency. We can download all the firmware, drivers, agents, utilities, and any other software as a single download.

It's highly competitive in terms of cost and performance. There were other players, but one after another, they disappeared. If you ask your customers what's most important to them, it's always cost efficiency. They always complain about paying way too much. With HP, they're getting the best product for the money.

When compared to other servers and even other HP products, the most valuable feature we saw is that the performance is definitely better and it's easier to manage. I can't say that we've faced any problems after standing up these servers.

• Different form factors
• Small footprint
• Good compromise between pricing schema and available options
• Support and care packs add-ons

With x86 hardware, a lot of it is the same. The value goes back to HP's willingness to partner and HP having a roadmap for the x86 platform.

The feature that I find the most valuable is that all alerts are integrated with HPE InfoSight. Any problem related to an HPE server can be solved remotely at L1, L2 level.

It is easy to configure and deploy. It is the same hardware. Whenever you buy the particular generation, it is the same. The parts inside don't change, which is nice.

We've used HP servers for a while now, and the most valuable features of them all, the DL series included, are the price and the quality. HP provides the best quality for the price.

These are very reliable servers with a great warranty. Also, the price was very attractive. We required a complex solution for our organization in terms of hardware, software, and VMware implementations. These servers fit in quite well with our architecture.

The HP SmartArray, as this takes care of RAID rebuilding.

The solution has very good performance and has been reliable.

It allows us to utilize the servers for VDI. The system supports two GPU's.

It's flexible.

Performance and longevity.

It is stable and easy to set up.

This is a very practical solution and that's what I like about it. It's also easy to maintain. 

The most valuable feature is stability.

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

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

The most valuable features are its flexibility and stability.
