What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for HPE Alletra?

The pricing, setup cost, and licensing for HPE Alletra Storage are in line with the market from both CapEx and OpEx perspectives. Speaking specifically of the 6K Alletra series, the renewal process can be complex due to the sheer volume of SKUs. It requires careful tracking, but that's primarily the responsibility of the partner rather than the end-user. We haven't had any renewals on any of the Alletra MPs or the Synergy chassis or anything larger than that.

My experience with the pricing and setup costs is average.

I wasn't involved in the pricing, setup costs, and licensing of HPE Alletra Storage.

The pricing has recently changed for us.

My experience with HPE Alletra Storage in terms of pricing, setup, costs, and licensing has been excellent.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the licensing was that it was fairly simple, and the cost was better for us than a Dell solution.

The pricing is high. It's a fairly significant investment in us.

I really don't deal with the financial side. That said, my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was very good.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for HPE Alletra Storage has been really good because we have a really good partner. We use Pinnacle Business Systems, and they're seamless to work with. We feel we get the best price and value for it, and setup is super simple.

My experience with the pricing, setup costs, and licensing of HPE Alletra Storage was good—the whole gamut was impressive pricing.

The licensing has been fine.

My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing of the HPE Alletra Storage is that it's competitive.

I didn't oversee the pricing, setup costs, and licensing for HPE Alletra Storage, however, the HPE partnership has been phenomenal and we appreciated their support during deployment, including evaluating the hardware.

My experience with the pricing, licensing, and setup cost of HPE Alletra Storage has been that pricing has always been great, especially when compared to some competitors in the field, and we have had no issues with any additional licensing fees related to the products we are using. We buy the appliance knowing it will perform how we want, and although there is subscription pricing now, it's similar to before where we are paying a support contract, making it still fundamentally access to the support team. For the one SAN I'm paying monthly as GreenLake hardware-as-a-service, the total cost of that subscription has a value that far outpaces what it would have taken to buy the same capacity outright.

The vendor gave me the price, and I liked it, so I bought it.

My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing was fair. Compared to what we had before with NetApp, HPE Alletra Storage is much cheaper, and the maintenance renewal is much cheaper as well, which is why we went with Nimble or HPE Alletra Storage.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the cost was very high last year. That said, the HPE Alletra Storage product is very good.

My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing has been very good without any problems.

My experience with the pricing and setup costs of the HPE Alletra Storage was phenomenal, which is one of the reasons our organization decided to go with it, as the setup costs were in some cases half the price of some of the other competitors with even more features.

Regarding my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing, I am not directly involved; we go through our third-party vendor, and we pretty much just stick with what he gives us in terms of good pricing.

My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing is that pricing is on the higher side; this is a disadvantage that has to be reduced.

My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing for HPE Alletra Storage was good, however, licensing is always a challenge since nobody enjoys those costs, though having support going forward gives me peace of mind.

Its price can be optimized. The cost before deployment is significant to customers, but post-deployment cost analysis is not common.

The pricing is somewhat high, but when customers choose HPE, they often prioritize the brand value over pricing. The pricing is higher compared to other vendors.

Scheduling a Proof of Concept to demonstrate ROI - Will be a well documented way to portray Alletra's performance, justifying its premium cost. My AWS hybrid cloud projects (example: Multi-Region Disaster Recovery) can showcase how Alletra complements modern infrastructures.

Its pricing is very competitive.

We work with a vendor partner, and he offers us good service and pricing. Some vendor partners are not so effective.

The pricing and licensing are streamlined. I didn't have any issues.

The price is great. If you come from a 3PAR world to an Alletra, it's great. The vendor that we use was phenomenal in getting us great pricing.

The pricing is okay. There's not really a smaller-scale model for mid-tier and upper capacities. That said, the pricing is comparable to everyone else.

The pricing is decent.

I'm a field engineer. I install what is given to me. I know little about the cost. That said, my understanding is that it is considerably cheaper to go with Alletra. The pricing is cheaper, the setup is easier, and the licensing is likely the same

Licensing is great, even with the additional cost of data cloud services and the cloud console. As customers adapt to that and bring more cloud into their management plane, it's easy to see why many have moved to the cloud base, which is where customers want to be.

The pricing is good for the market that I serve. The subscription model is tough for them. We can do multiple terms now.

The pricing and licensing are very simple, especially with GreenLake.

The pricing is very good. That said, every vendor is a spiderweb to navigate. It's a pain, everywhere.

The pricing and licensing are pretty clear-cut. We have a vendor that we work with that gives us a plain layout.

The pricing is competitive. Compared to Pure Systems, it's less expensive.

The one-time buy-in is ideal for us. It makes a data center more compelling than a cloud, as the costs are known. A lot of businesses have been shifting to a service model. While I get the appeal from the finance side, that will only expedite a team's move to cloud services. If I'm paying monthly for something that's on-prem and I'm paying monthly for something that's in the cloud, I'll just shift my infrastructure needs to the cloud. Yet the costs will change. However, the predictability of having that one-time cost is everything for the data center.

I don't know what the pricing is.

There is a license. HPE Alletra uses a cloud-based model. This means I'm focused on procuring on-demand resources for customers. As such, for future use, we bill based on device consumption rather than the traditional datacenter model.

The solution is expensive and can cost around five lakhs.
