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.

A stable product that constantly enhances its functionalities like multithreading and caching
I face different problems, though I wouldn't have much of a different story. In my company, we host Intel Server System as we face network hard drive problems almost every month The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is more stable than AMD for VMware. Intel Server…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features is iLO, which is very good. Another thing is the HPE support is very good."
"It's easy to upgrade, and it is very easy to take care of the firmware upgrades."
"We have had our system working for between two and three years with no downtime."
"​We use HPE Datacenter support, and it is good support. It is automatic support. When I have a problem, the question is written automatically.​"
"The hardware is reliable."
"The solution's deployment was easy."
"The most valuable features of HPE ProLiant DL Servers are very high quality."
"HPE ProLiant DL Servers have good performance and they support different types of applications."
"It is stable and easy to manage."
"It uses well known architecture and it's easy to develop for."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is more stable than AMD for VMware."
 

Cons

"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"I want to improve hyper-converged sites."
"The technical support could be a little faster."
"They should improve the solution's built-in quality."
"If they could put a SAN storage or resend it in the same product, it would be very helpful and more powerful."
"The most pressing issue is that downloads depend at present on the current period."
"In DL 500 systems, the flow of air is not good enough, and some components get overheated. IBM systems have better airflow and scalability. We have a data center that has limited physical space. Therefore, we need to maximize the processing or compute systems that we use. In HP servers, such as DL 500, there are only four processors, whereas IBM servers, such as SR 916, have eight processors. We don't get any support from HP because of our geographical location. We solve all problems ourselves by doing research on the internet. It would be good to get HP support."
"A better option would be same day support, not next business day."
"When you have an Intel Server System, the prices may be much higher since it is a different processor, making the solution's pricing part one of its shortcomings where improvements are required."
"We have to scale it ourselves but it scales. It depends on the software because it's mostly the hardware platform that Intel is managing."
"The shipment time can be improved. When we order Intel products, we have to wait for a long time. They can increase the local services and engineers in China. Local engineers will be able to know and understand customer problems much better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"I give the cost a ten out of ten."
"​If you have to include the warranty, enhance the warranty support.​"
"They need to work with Microsoft to make the licensing costs better and more efficient."
"The pricing of these servers is fair. It is in the mid-range."
"The price of the product is a little high."
"The hardware should be cheaper."
"I rate the pricing a ten on a scale from one to ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is very expensive."
"The price is competitive."
"It is not expensive."
