Linda Belebesi - PeerSpot reviewer
Highly stable, straightforward, and easy to use
In terms of improvement, the operating system development is slow, making it hard to keep up with modern tech and integrate with third-party products. Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365. This means if you are using HPE, you might face challenges connecting to the cloud and need to rely more on on-premises servers. Also, the support is lacking in some third-party products, limiting your options.

Helps grow horizontally or vertically within one box or chassis
The initial setup is very easy. We deployed this in two days, including installation, system setup, firmware upgrades, configuration, and network connection. By the next day, we were already deploying virtual machines. We initially began with the Blade system. As the migration to SAP HANA approached, it seemed prudent to upgrade our hardware. Consequently, we facilitated their transition from the Blade system to Synergy. Subsequently, we collaborated closely with the SAP consultancy company to oversee the migration process, ensuring seamless integration of all workloads and sub-environments. We have four people working on the deployment, including a project manager, two specialists, and one tech support.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"What I like about HPE Integrity servers is how stable and easy to use they are."
"This is a reliable server, and many applications are integrated there."
"The tool provides good performance and productivity."
"We have what is called a chief data care center support. This is the highest level of support they have. We have been very happy with the support we have received."
"HPE Integrity is a reliable solution, but you'll need to refurbish the hardware because it's approaching the end of sale."
"The product's most valuable features are troubleshooting and monitoring."
"The benefit provided by the solution for my organization stems from the fact that it provides maximum reliability and availability to users."
"It is very fast and easy to use."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the ease of management and the integration with OneView."
"OneView, as a single point, a single management tool, it makes me delirious. It's really nice."
"Support is very helpful."
"The flexibility to link them together and configure them gives us the ability to scale out easily, to add more compute resources as needed... The way that they're scalable and flexible means we can add additional servers in quickly... We're not spending a lot of time doing procurement and building of physical servers."
"The most valuable features are the evolution of our existing HPE portfolio, the integration with our existing tool sets, and the enhanced capabilities that OneView bring."
"The processing time has been about 50 times faster and allows us to do AI models."
"Valuable features include its dependability, reliability, and the ease of managing the system."
"There is no problem with the scalability."
 

Cons

"The virtualization of HPE Integrity could be simplified. We have discussed this issue with HPE and hopefully, they will have an update."
"HPE Integrity needs improvement in terms of pricing for scalability."
"Pricing is very high."
"The manageability must be improved."
"HPE Integrity has always been one step behind in areas like virtualization technologies, cloud enablement, the speed of backups, and replication."
"HPE Integrity is a pain. HPE hasn't put much work into developing the solution in the past few years because it will be discontinued soon."
"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."
"The solution must concentrate on improving the product quality."
"In the Generation 10 modules, we have observed that very often the server has hardware issues."
"We had an issue during the initial setup with the 40 Gigabyte cards. They weren’t working, so we had to work really closely with HPE support to get them to work."
"We haven't seen any ROI, and it hasn't reduced our cost of operations."
"There is always room for improvement. Based on our use cases, I don't believe there are any additional features required."
"The Synergy platform is HPE-specific and more for on-premises. You're kind of locked in with VMware and the HPE with the VMs. The Nutanix offering is a bit more flexible."
"I would like it to connect to the HPE Cloud Connect compute platform for simplicity of our infrastructure."
"The setup was a bit complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."
"The pricing is the best."
"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."
"The price is not very expensive."
"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"Our IT infrastructure costs have gone up each year by 20 percent."
"It costs us around $60,000 a year."
"The biggest cost is the VMware licensing."
"When we made the purchase of the hardware, we added Professional Services to it."
"The platform that we run Synergy on is all virtualized. Our primary cost is likely VMware."
"There was at least about a 20 percent savings in cost over our purchase based on the purchase price of the compute modules themselves versus what we've had to pay before. It was significantly less."
"Nutanix was really hard to implement, and it was very pricey compared to what we get from Synergy."
"We do a biannual renewal. I know how much that renewal is, but I don't know how much it breaks down to be just Synergy, since we have our VMware, all of our physical equipment, etc. all rolled up into one renewal, which is a little over $300,000 every two years. However, only a subset of that is the Synergy product."
