Featured Reviews

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.
SA
A stable product that constantly enhances its functionalities like multithreading and caching
The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is more stable than AMD for VMware. Intel Server System has a good track record for the last 20 years. Multithreading and caching are areas where improvements keep increasing. If you look at the last four years, you will see a big difference when it comes to the area concerning processors.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its reliability and after-sales support are very good."
"When we need to, we can get through to technical support and get the right person."
"The setup was easy and not complicated."
"ProLiant DL servers are the best on the market. The models support an extensive list of Intel processors."
"I am impressed with the tool’s stability."
"This is all I've ever used. These servers are strong, and they have very few failures on them. They are also easy to manage and monitor."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"HPE ProLiant DL Servers are a great product. We don't have many complaints."
"It uses well known architecture and it's easy to develop for."
"It is stable and easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is more stable than AMD for VMware."
 

Cons

"They should continue to maintain the stability that is there."
"Configurations could be simplified."
"They should improve the solution's built-in quality."
"I want to improve hyper-converged sites."
"The speed of the solution could be increased."
"In Qatar, HPE doesn't have as much support as Dell. I would recommend Dell if given the option because it has a solid local presence."
"A better option would be same day support, not next business day."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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

"The solution is expensive."
"The solution comes with a one time perpetual license which is included with the server."

"This product is within our budget."
"The price of HPE ProLiant DL Servers is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"I give the pricing a six out of ten."

"It is not expensive."
