Reliable servers handle numerous applications efficiently
Pricing is very high. It should be less. In comparison to other brands like Dell or Cisco, I think HPE is not CTS. HPE should not be CTS. It should be less than Cisco and IBM. IBM has higher costs. Compared to Dell and Cisco, it is costly, and some management software is also expensive.

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

"The product's most valuable features are troubleshooting and monitoring."
"This is a reliable server, and many applications are integrated there."
"The benefit provided by the solution for my organization stems from the fact that it provides maximum reliability and availability to users."
"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."
"What I like about HPE Integrity servers is how stable and easy to use they are."
"The tool provides good performance and productivity."
"HPE Integrity is a reliable solution, but you'll need to refurbish the hardware because it's approaching the end of sale."
"It is very fast and easy to use."
"Improved storage, scalability, and ease-of-use."
"Orchestrating automations is great because you can connect to other tools with the REST API and automate components."
"Ability to easily re-utilize parts of the hardware for different purposes."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the ease of management and the integration with OneView."
"The processing time has been about 50 times faster and allows us to do AI models."
"Its versatility, performance, and size are most valuable. It is very decent for its size. It has very good performance and very good specifications."
"Technical support is excellent. They are very helpful."
"HPE Synergy has been dependable for the past 15 years."
 

Cons

"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."
"HPE Integrity has always been one step behind in areas like virtualization technologies, cloud enablement, the speed of backups, and replication."
"Pricing is very high."
"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"The virtualization of HPE Integrity could be simplified. We have discussed this issue with HPE and hopefully, they will have an update."
"The manageability must be improved."
"HPE Integrity needs improvement in terms of pricing for scalability."
"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."
"Having a seamless DR implementation would help significantly."
"We'd like to see faster networking in the back-end."
"We had some challenges during the implementation and a few issues afterward, but they were all sort of related to how Synergy interacts with Nexus. Our Nexus on the network side is managed by another group, and they had just gotten Nexus, so they weren't really familiar with how Nexus even worked. Getting these two to interact well was the majority of our issues. It really didn't have anything to do with Synergy. It points to know the environment that you are putting it in and making sure you are dotting all your i's and crossing all your t's when you are figuring out what their requirements are to communicate."
"Technical support was time consuming and unsatisfactory. The initial product setup was complex, lasing around three weeks to a month."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"The cost is quite high."
"A faster Composer module would be a good inclusion for the next release of this solution."
"I'd get the firmware to be a little more secure and a little more streamlined."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."
"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."
"The price is not very expensive."
"The pricing is the best."
"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"There is a perpetual license given when you purchase HPE Synergy."
"The platform that we run Synergy on is all virtualized. Our primary cost is likely VMware."
"Nutanix was really hard to implement, and it was very pricey compared to what we get from Synergy."
"We pay about £500 for the solution."
"Synergy has lowered our total cost of ownership significantly. I would say ballpark around 25 percent, maybe more."
"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."
"We have already paid once. It is just the price for the permit and its use. It seems you don't have to keep paying for it, but I am not sure."
"We are satisfied with its price."
