HPE ProLiant DL Servers Reviews

The product can be used as a host.

The solution has very good performance and has been reliable.

We found that the extensions could be improved and the price could be a little lower.

I have been using this solution for two years.

It is a stable product.

The product has good potential for increased scalability. Currently, we have implemented the product for approximately 400 employees.

The support we experienced was good.

The setup was easy and not complicated.

Since the solution was not difficult to install, we were able to handle the full deployment ourselves with one technician.

The price of the product is a little high.

I am using it to virtualize VMware. It is performing well.

• Costs

I am impressed with the SimpliVity solution. I need to look a bit about this.

It is very stable; no downtime.

This solution is very scalable. When we bought the DL580, we bought it with full capacity. It is great for our business, and if we need to scale more, we can buy a new one.

We use HPE Datacenter support, and it is good support. It is automatic support. When I have a problem, the question is written automatically.

We were previously using another blade solution. We decided to switch because this solution provides more memory density.

The initial setup was easy.

Dell, IBM, etc. They fell short on the product baseline.

It is a good product.

Most important criteria when selecting a vendor: innovation.

It allows us to utilize the servers for VDI. The system supports two GPU's.

It was part of a bigger solution, which is VDI. We are able to publish desktops for design engineers whose requirements are continuously changing on a weekly basis.

I would like to look at Synergy for the new servers. It will be out in June or July. The Synergy Streamer Composer is one of the powerful features that Synergy has.

It is pretty stable. We had a pretty good experience with HPE so far.

Scalability shouldn't be an issue. We can have 20 servers in one rack.

I've had good experience with HPE support. the support engineers are knowledgeable and customer service oriented.

We knew we needed a new solution because of the latest requirements. Nowadays, IT is very involved with the business. We try our best to enable them to do their job in an efficient way. We had a different hardware platform before, and support was not at the level we've expected.

The most important thing when selecting a vendor is service, regardless of price. We look more for partnership and service in that sense.

The installation was straightforward.

Our vendor implemented the solution. We were involved in the design and planning.

Pricing is not bad. They have competitive pricing, and the licensing model is simple to understand.

We evaluated few other technologies. We chose HPE because we've had good experience with them. I worked with them in the past and so far, HPE has proven to be reliable.

Be careful when selecting the vendor. It has to be a partnership. If the vendor can't deliver what is expected, it's going to be a nightmare. It's going to affect your operations.

These servers provide us with very good performance, and the blade technology allows us to do high-performance computing. It's also a really useful product for us because we need its flexibility in adding new components and blades to our existing infrastructure. That's very important for us.

The Generation 9 servers have the new UEFI firmware version instead of the traditional firmware, but we don't have that on our servers. It would be great if they could run UEFI because they have longer boot times, so there's room for improvement there.

They deploy without any issues.

We've had issues where some components fail, but overall the system runs well.

We've had no issues with scalability.

They're very, very responsive, calling us back within 10 minutes when we open a case. Normally, they'll have the problem fixed the next.

We also have a service contract where the HP guys will take care of things like firmware updates. This helps us a lot in our daily work because we don't have to worry about those particular tasks.

With blade technology, there are the blades and then the whole chassis surrounding the blades. This type of technology is more complex than the normal standalone servers.

If you're looking for high-performance computing, then blade technology is the best you can get. Also, if you're looking for GPU power, then these are the servers for you.

Performance and longevity.

It allows us to provide continuity to the business.

I would like to see a single pane of glass, relayed management, and fewer tours.

We try to transfer platforms.

The scalability is very good.

We have used technical support for this solution.

We knew we needed to invest in a new solution through our acquisitions. We used Dell before. We switched because of the HPE platform.

We looked at HPE and EMC. We chose HPE because they were a more innovative solution for us, as far as operating servers.

When selecting a vendor, I look for onsite engagement and the hands-on invitation for out-of-hours support.

We use it for virtualization. We are using its latest version.

It is stable and easy to set up.

They should continue to maintain the stability that is there.

I have been using this solution for around nine months.

It is stable.

It is scalable. You just buy more. Less than 10% of the users in our company are using this solution directly.

I have not interacted with them.

We didn't use any other solution.

The initial setup was straightforward.

We did it ourselves. You need just one person for its deployment and maintenance.

It is not expensive. Its price is similar to other solutions.

I would recommend this solution. We plan to keep using this solution. 

I would rate HPE ProLiant DL Servers a nine out of ten.

DL servers have fixability to configure, manage and reliability.

you can depend on it in productive environments. 

This is a very practical solution and that's what I like about it. It's also easy to maintain. 

Configurations very simplified. The technical support and training process Very good.

I've been using this solution for seven years minimum. 

The stability is very good. 

There are very responsive however the solution is very easy to maintain.

I would rate this solution an ten out of 10. 

We are a solution provider and the ProLiant DL Servers are one of the products that we implement for our customers. They are primarily used as domain controllers and file servers. One of our customers also uses them for Nutanix.

The most valuable feature is stability.

The price of this solution should be lowered to make it more competitive.

We have been working with the HPE ProLiant DL Servers for about two years.

These servers are stable and we plan to continue working with them.

This is a scalable product.

We are satisfied with the technical support from HPE.

The initial setup is straightforward and they take between a day and two days to deploy.

Our in-house team is responsible for deployment. One person is enough for deployment and maintenance.

This is an expensive product and there is licensing required for iLO, which is the HPE monitoring system. There are no charges in addition to this.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
