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.

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

Pros

"The tool provides good performance and productivity."
"What I like about HPE Integrity servers is how stable and easy to use they are."
"The benefit provided by the solution for my organization stems from the fact that it provides maximum reliability and availability to users."
"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."
"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."
"This is a reliable server, and many applications are integrated there."
"The product's most valuable features are troubleshooting and monitoring."
"There is no problem with the scalability."
"The Online firmware update for the virtual connects has minimized our downtime windows."
"OneView, as a single point, a single management tool, it makes me delirious. It's really nice."
"It is a good product for hypervisors."
"The hyper-converged infrastructure where everything is stateless is valuable. Basically, you have your compute storage and networking management."
"The most valuable features are the converged network adapters."
"It is first in class for composable infrastructure. It has the scalability that meets our future needs and the automation that builds into something that we are really looking forward to using.​"
"As we purchase and install more Synergy chassis, then we will be able to manage them together as one entity, as opposed to multiple separate cabinets."
 

Cons

"The manageability must be improved."
"HPE Integrity needs improvement in terms of pricing for scalability."
"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"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."
"Pricing is very high."
"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."
"I would like the ability to take the storage tray that is in a chassis and share it out to multiple chassis, not just the servers within the same chassis. This would be more efficient with resources."
"The deployment time of a system through OneView is pretty slow, but apparently that's being addressed in an upcoming update."
"Synergy could probably do some code enhancements to simplify the deployment a bit more."
"The initial setup was complex. From what I was told, there were issues initially with getting the SFPs on the floor for our data center and something with the image, but I think that was on our service provider' side. They couldn't get the image to deploy with the right drivers and stuff."
"I would definitely like to see them fix the firmware updates on all the blades. No matter what operating system it is running on, make sure I can do the firmware as well as the software for those firmware components at the same time. I don't want to have to rely on an external product. Let's bring that product inside the menu so that I have a better experience with updates."
"There is always room for improvement. Based on our use cases, I don't believe there are any additional features required."
"Gen 11 is being released. That's going to have a lot of advantages over Gen 10 and previous generations in terms of the cooling modules in the servers to keep them cooler and run with more efficiency and better performance. There are more management features with iLO 6 and the latest OneView management."
"One of the issues that we that we have been having is with the firmware baselining. So, we need to just making sure that we get that working. However, we are in the early stages. It may well be that we just tweak a few things."

"The price is not very expensive."
"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"The pricing is the best."
"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."
"Nutanix was really hard to implement, and it was very pricey compared to what we get from Synergy."

"The solution has reduced our IT infrastructure costs by 50 percent."
"We don't have to pay for Synergy because it's part of our plan."

"We do CAPEX."
