Featured Reviews

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.
CarlosArdila - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"It is very fast and easy to use."
"HPE Integrity is a reliable solution, but you'll need to refurbish the hardware because it's approaching the end of sale."
"This is a reliable server, and many applications are integrated there."
"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 product's most valuable features are troubleshooting and monitoring."
"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."
"Great data storage and very good for software defined solutions."
"The most valuable features of HPE Synergy are the two composers."
"It's a fully integrated solution with OneView."
"HPE Synergy has been dependable for the past 15 years."
"It's more composable, you can use storage as well as compute blades. So maybe it's more versatile compared to the traditional blade systems."
"On the previous HPE platform, we struggled because everything was independent. We had to manage firmware on each server, storage and network configuration on each server. Synergy is template-driven so we can ensure consistency of all of those settings. It allows us to standardize configuration and ensure consistency across the board."
"Great flexibility including configuring the interconnects on the use of the chassis."
"Give us the ability to seamlessly migrate from one operating environment to another within minutes, which is invaluable."
 

Cons

"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."
"Pricing is very high."
"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"The manageability must be improved."
"The virtualization of HPE Integrity could be simplified. We have discussed this issue with HPE and hopefully, they will have an update."
"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."
"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 power consumption is very high, and there should be a more efficient way of reducing the power requirements while maintaining high performance."
"The expansion was complex, because adding a second frame onto the original frame caused an outage."
"A faster Composer module would be a good inclusion for the next release of this solution."
"In the past, I have had issues with configurations."
"They have not improved their product since it was purchased."
"The cost is quite high."
"The pricing can be improved as it is a costly solution due to sanctions in Iran."
"The only issue that we had was our rack was too small. The product is heavy, so it took a lot to get it in there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"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."
"We pay for licensing on the fibre channel uplinks, on the Virtual Connect, which is an add-on."
"For temporal use, when you throw on the fact that you're essentially doubling your capacity, right there you could claim a 50 percent TCO reduction."
"There is a perpetual license given when you purchase HPE 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."
"The solution has reduced our IT infrastructure costs because we have had to buy less services than we used to."
"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."
"The cost is high and that is a drawback for some customers."
"It costs us around $60,000 a year."
