SHIVAKUMAR A P - PeerSpot reviewer
With an easy setup phase in place, it is suitable for small and large-sized businesses
When you speak of any enhancements in the product, you need to shift to the tool's commercial mode. You get more features in the solution if you pour in more money. If a customer needs some features in the solution, they will have to buy it since certain features are not loaded by default in the server. With entry-level licenses, servers are shipped to customers free of cost. Customers need to pay if they want more and more features in the solution. Every OEM solution in the market, including HPE ProLiant DL, operates similarly. The overall cost of the product needs to be lower, as it is one of the areas of concern in the product.
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

"This solution is perfect. From the time of purchase, it was state-of-the-art, and still, after five, 10 years, they still meet our demands extremely well."
"The solution's deployment was easy."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is scalability."
"When we need to, we can get through to technical support and get the right person."
"The most valuable features of HPE ProLiant DL Servers are convenience and the interface is good."
"We get good performance with HPE ProLiant DL Servers. They are really stable. We run all our applications smoothly. We have no problem at all."
"Our monitoring tool has a database, so we need a server with a fast IO."
"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 thing about Huawei FusionServer is the fact that it's easy to use."
 

Cons

"The servers should include OneView for intelligence provisioning."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"The documentation for HPE ProLiant DL Servers has room for improvement. For example, it says on the documentation that this specific product or part number is supported. Still, when you ask the HPE team, the reply is that it's not supported, so HPE should update the information on the documentation."
"The product must provide time travel features."
"In terms of what could be improved, if I could have faster processors with less cores, that would be good."
"The price of this solution should be lowered to make it more competitive."
"It would be great if HP could use a ProLiant Server to run HP-UX, the Unix build from HPE. Right now, HP-UX cannot run on the ProLiant architecture."
"They are pretty solid servers, but, just like all servers, they become obsolete after some time. They can maybe provide a console to monitor the health of the servers. There should be some kind of console to which you can log in to remotely check on the health of a server, even when the server is off. The servers that we have are only scalable to some extent. They have got a limited amount of hard drive that you can insert. Their scalability should be improved."
"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

"The pricing of these servers is fair. It is in the mid-range."
"They should reduce the prices as it is a significant concern for developing countries."
"There are less expensive solutions than HPE ProLiant DL Servers. However, there is a lot of value in this solution."
"I like the price of this product and the add-on components. It is cheaper than Dell and is a one-time hardware purchase with minimal ongoing costs."
"We did not need to pay for a license for the use of HP DL servers, just for normal hardcore support."
"The price of the product is a little high."
"This was a one-time purchase for us because it's hardware that we purchased from HPE. There aren't any licensing costs."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
