Featured Reviews

Ricardo Elorza - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to deploy, stable, and scalable
I give the solution an eight out of ten. We have been having issues with HPE's road maps, which tend to be very aggressive. For example, if we have a server and then HPE announces and releases the NexGen, the previous server only has one more gear before the end of use. This can be problematic for clusters that are configured to only have the same model, as after a year we would have to do diagnostics or buy a new cluster. This is something we do not like about HPE, although other vendors may also be aggressive, HPE is really bad. It is important for new users to keep this in mind.
Santiago Zaragoza - PeerSpot reviewer
Simple to use and compatible with all other operating systems
I would rate the scalability of this solution a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. There are currently about 2,000 users of this solution in our company as it's a hospital. We also have plans to scale further.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"iLO, in particular, helps us manage the servers better, especially as a lot of them are remote from where the IT staff are. We have some locations where we just have not got IT presence at those locations, so iLO really helps with that."
"It is very stable. This is the feedback that I'm getting from my customers for the hardware. It is also 100% scalable. HPE is also very specialized when it comes up to the server industry. It is not only about the rack servers; it is also about the blade servers. They were the first ones to bring these to the market more than ten years ago."
"Support is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"Compatibility is the best feature of the solution."
"The most valuable features of HPE ProLiant DL Servers are very high quality."
"The technical support from HPE ProLiant DL Servers is very good. We can contact them through various means and they are responsive, they are quick."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO)...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The GPU units, processor speed, and capabilities are most valuable. Desktop video conferencing is also valuable. It supports desktop video conferencing much better for graphics."
"The most valuable thing about Huawei FusionServer is the fact that it's easy to use."
 

Cons

"The licensing fees are expensive and have room for improvement."
"There are concerns about the HPE team in the Southeast Asia region, suggesting a need for improvements in terms of responsiveness. There have been instances where the response time was slow, causing challenges during urgent situations. Its stability also needs to improve."
"HPE ProLiant DL Servers are not scalable."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"It has something called WorldView. They should do some enhancement over WorldView to run an operating system as a code. Such a feature would be amazing for running multiple servers. They are already working on this, and they can enhance the existing versions for this. It should also be cheaper. It is currently expensive."
"It is too expensive. Its price should be improved. The system admin interface should have better visibility while troubleshooting a problem, even when the problem is coming from the application."
"The price of HPE ProLiant DL Servers could improve."
"The price of this solution should be lowered to make it more competitive."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more features not in the hardware but in the platform where I can manage all the servers and the hardware of the servers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​An investment in DL380 is worth it."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"The hardware should be cheaper."
"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The iLO (integrated lights out) license is very expensive, but the functionality you receive is worth it."
"I give the pricing a six out of ten."
"We have ILO licenses. We use this feature."
"We did not need to pay for a license for the use of HP DL servers, just for normal hardcore support."
