Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a very practical solution because you have all the servers in a minimal space."
"We installed Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series for a high PC solution, and for this reason, some Microsoft licenses and other special licenses were embedded or bundled to the Fujitsu solution."
"Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series has two processors."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"The manageability is its most valuable feature. It is a fully managed platform, which is very simple to manage."
"The key advantage that we teach people is speed to market, or speed to productivity, thus, reducing the time it takes to provision business services."
"The solution is pretty good and very stable."
"This solution has decreased our deployment time by approximately sixty-five percent."
"Improved storage, scalability, and ease-of-use."
"I highly recommend HPE Synergy to others, as it is user-friendly, high-performing, and has good support."
"This is above and beyond anything else any of the competitors have on the market. If you're researching this, you're going down the right path."
"It has had a positive effect on the efficiency of our IT infrastructure team. The manageability of it is so easy, we're able to install it quickly, and replacement parts are easy to get in and out quickly."
 

Cons

"It can have more automation. In addition, Fujitsu should have a broader portfolio, not specifically in terms of the service solutions, but more in terms of the big picture. A broader portfolio would be nice for providing different solutions for the customers."
"It can have more automation."
"It is much better to use “normal” servers. The initial investment for a blade server is very high and creates dependency."
"The initial setup of Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series was complex."
"I would be more comfortable if Ansible actually rolled back the data used for automating platforms. If it could be communicated to the upstream Ansible, I wouldn't need to go back and forth and validate the libraries as we upgrade the Ansible version."
"Our IT infrastructure costs have gone up each year by 20 percent."
"I rate this solution a seven out of 10 because I think we were promised a little more than we were given."
"The performance could be better. At times, it could also be more stable."
"The post-sales activity needs improvement."
"ICMs could be better in this model. When you look at its competitors, the most critical point is the throughput. HPE is the best with the ICM module, which is an interconnect module that connects the servers of the frames to the LAN and SAN. HPE Synergy should also support the latest processors provided by Intel."
"But with other stuff, software stuff especially, say Data Protector - now it's Micro Focus - it was a total nightmare."
"The pricing can be improved as it is a costly solution due to sanctions in Iran."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are special licenses that are connected to the usage. We installed Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series for a high PC solution, and for this reason, some Microsoft licenses and other special licenses were embedded or bundled to the Fujitsu solution."
"No license is required to operate the product."
"We are satisfied with its price."
"The price point is a little high. We were able to get a good deal on a promotion, to go with it. It would be nice to see the prices come down a little bit."
"There was at least about a 20 percent savings in cost over our purchase based on the purchase price of the compute modules themselves versus what we've had to pay before. It was significantly less."
"For temporal use, when you throw on the fact that you're essentially doubling your capacity, right there you could claim a 50 percent TCO reduction."
"The biggest cost is the VMware licensing."
"Nutanix was really hard to implement, and it was very pricey compared to what we get from Synergy."
"We don't have to pay for Synergy because it's part of our plan."
"The solution has reduced our IT infrastructure costs by 50 percent."
