The pricing of HPE ProLiant DL Servers depends purely on the configuration, and it is not affordable. However, if you look at the technical caliber of the server, if a customer invests that additional extra money, we are sure that they are going to gain from it, but the price remains expensive.
I do not think it is an expensive product. I'm satisfied with the pricing as we have made a comparison with other vendors and found that HP is more economical.
The product is expensive. I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price. On the needs of the customers, the product offers a lot of support SLAs. Customers can choose a single point of contact for support.
The solution's pricing is high. It needs to be more flexible. The flexibility would be beneficial for our clients, especially in a competitive market. Adding additional features and addressing complex requirements on top of the price can be challenging for us as a reseller.
There are less expensive solutions than HPE ProLiant DL Servers. However, there is a lot of value in this solution. The price of the solution could be less expensive.

You only need to pay for the hardware, but you can also purchase a license for Integrated Lights-Out technology, which gives you the option to connect to the server like you are physically on site connected with the mouse, keyboard and screen directly on the server. It's an extra feature that you need to pay for, but we are not using it. It's an amazing feature, but I have no idea how much the license costs.

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.
My advice is to start getting the training by themselves for how to manage HP Dl servers as the setup is easy to learn then make pricing according to model number and performance last ask the cost from Gold partner of HP as partners give a good discount.
