Linda Belebesi

Unix System Engineer at Road Accident Fund

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

"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."

"It is very fast and easy to use."

"What I like about HPE Integrity servers is how stable and easy to use they are."

"The tool provides good performance and productivity."

"The benefit provided by the solution for my organization stems from the fact that it provides maximum reliability and availability to users."

"The product's most valuable features are troubleshooting and monitoring."

"I believe, compared to the C7000, it delivers a significant amount of innovation and flexibility,"

"Everything is in one place. We have one place to with OneView. It provides one console with one place to get to everything. The one interface makes it easier. We have one guy who does almost everything in it."

"The initial setup is fine."

"I like that it's suitable for virtualization. It's also stable and scalable. The newer version has a lot of memory, and you don't have to worry about updates."

"The processing time has been about 50 times faster and allows us to do AI models."

"The solution has decreased our deployment time by 10 to 20 percent."

"The solution's greatest strengths lie in its ability to maintain a high availability and combine networking with hyper channel connectivity into a single component."

"The wireless mounting system is excellent. We can use the monitor over the Internet and perform troubleshooting remotely with the connection to SQL. It includes a comprehensive monitoring tool. It offers many features, allowing us to update, manage, maintain, and troubleshoot the system efficiently."

Cons

"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."

"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 manageability must be improved."

"HPE Integrity needs improvement in terms of pricing for scalability."

"HPE Integrity has always been one step behind in areas like virtualization technologies, cloud enablement, the speed of backups, and replication."

"The virtualization of HPE Integrity could be simplified. We have discussed this issue with HPE and hopefully, they will have an update."

"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."

"You can always improve some things."

"Its management needs some work. It is not the best in terms of management. It has decent management. Its user interface can also be better."

"HPE Synergy could improve its remote support."

"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."

"We haven't seen any ROI, and it hasn't reduced our cost of operations."

"A faster Composer module would be a good inclusion for the next release of this solution."

"Sometimes there are firmware or software difficulties when connecting between networks or with storage."

"The solution should support Cisco or other vendor interconnect models."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is the best."

"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."

"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."

"The price is not very expensive."

"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."

"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."

"The licensing is more around the software for RGS, because we are deploying bare metal installs. It is mainly the operating system and any lights-out management. So, licensing is minimum. We are licensing it annually."

"When we made the purchase of the hardware, we added Professional Services to it."

"Nutanix was really hard to implement, and it was very pricey compared to what we get from Synergy."

"In our whole environment, the cost is in the millions. On this particular chassis, the annual cost is 12 blades times approximately $40,000."

"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."

"There is a perpetual license given when you purchase HPE Synergy."

"We don't have to pay for Synergy because it's part of our plan."
