The initial setup of HPE NonStop is difficult. It was costly. We followed the typical site surveys and requirements, such as power, electricity, temperature, network, and air conditioning. Additionally, the customer requirements and other software that need to be installed can make the process more difficult. There are many steps in the setup before we arrive at the stage where we start implementing the hardware. I rate the initial setup of HPE NonStop a three out of ten.

Pricing

Enterprise buyers report that HPE NonStop pricing requires strategic negotiation, especially given its premium upfront costs and expensive software. While total ownership costs are now more competitive, benefiting from multi-year deals is advised due to available discounts. The system is suitable for high transaction volumes, yet perceived as expensive compared to alternatives. New Xeon Processor solutions suggest future cost reductions. Currency fluctuations and geographic location also impact pricing. Buyers often rate it on the higher end.

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"The price of the solution is too high. If they lowered the price substantially it would open up more opportunities. It's considered a replacement for the old 9000 boxes of HP. If it had a lower price, we would be able to compete in the financial, and other sectors and other solutions such as Terraform. Having a high price makes other solutions more attractive."
"HPE NonStop is definitely on the higher end."
