Unified dashboards have streamlined device management and support has resolved issues faster
The best features HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) offers are probably the ease of usability, the observability, and the transparency. When I mention observability and transparency, those features help me in my work by keeping everything in my view; I don't need to juggle between different platforms, as everything serves as a one unified solution. About transparency, things are crystal clear and laid out openly, making it much easier for consumers like us who manage tons of devices all in one unified platform. HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) has positively impacted my organization by making the whole problem-solving process easier, as if there are any ticket issues, things get resolved more easily compared to our previous services. Issues get resolved much more quickly now, with most of these solutions being almost readily available, and if escalated to a support team, we get a quicker response time, as opposed to the previous solution which involved a lot of back and forth and consumed a lot more time.

Flexible monthly infrastructure has simplified management and improved client cost control
Some valuable points about HPE GreenLake are that it is a managed solution in the same pane of glass. HPE GreenLake integrates well with the existing infrastructure, and it is straightforward. HPE GreenLake positively impacts my organization because it saves money and time, and it improves my sales because I have another solution to reduce costs for the client. The client may need to pay two thousand dollars to change every infrastructure in one payment, but not all clients have the total amount available. However, if it is possible to pay month-to-month for the solution, it is much easier for the client to accept the proposal. HPE GreenLake's real-time monitoring tools are good, and I really need them to improve the services.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) has positively impacted my organization by making the whole problem-solving process easier, as if there are any ticket issues, things get resolved more easily compared to our previous services."
"The tool's documentation is excellent. It's well-organized, easy to use, simple, and easily readable. I can usually find answers to my questions quickly in the docs."
"HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) has positively impacted my organization by ensuring that the data is tokenized and the user access is appropriately assigned."
"HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) has positively impacted my organization by helping us reduce the number of mistakes made in the infrastructure, and we can keep all the standards."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The solution's most valuable feature is infrastructure as code (IaC)."
"I appreciate the consistency that HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) offers because I can create an environment once, add variables, and deploy them to multiple environments in a short span of time."
"HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) has positively impacted my organization, leading to a significant budget saving and allowing us to integrate everything the way we wanted."
"We have a service and cost model based on utilization for specific KPIs, measured by memory and storage, with no costs for CPU consumption. This approach has allowed us to manage and optimize utilization and consumption effectively."
"In the next four years over the lifespan of the first segment, it's going to be saving us approximately $1.2 million in just hardware purchases and software support costs."
"The solution's technical support does an excellent job."
"It has brought newer technology in more quickly, with a lower risk of failure, helped us plan better, enabled extensive virtualization so we can bring in less gear to accomplish the same things, and made our infrastructure more consistent by keeping hardware generations closer together."
"The biggest thing that it gives us is reportability; that's the critical component. By giving us a monthly bill that is expandable based on usage, we're able to report back to the organization on the value that we're actually getting out of the hardware platform."
"It has made our organization's capacity management efforts so much better. Usually, engineers need to take time to worry about firmware updates and and getting that stuff done. However, that falls to the wayside, knowing with GreenLake's data center management and data center support that all the firmware has been tested for all the equipment that you have. When you apply the updates, nothing should go wrong, because it has already been fully tested."
"In case the client needs this resource, it is available, and it is the best option in the market right now."
"It has helped us with the planning, and in concert with this, we are doing a lot of virtualizations. For a lot of cases, we are bringing in less gear and equipment to be able to accomplish the same things. It makes better use of what we do bring in."
 

Cons

"I think HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) can be improved by creating a module for audit to make access to logs easier and to improve the auditability of who is accessing which vaults at which time and being able to generate that information in a report."
"I have encountered a problem when updating modules required by policy changes, as the existing infrastructure sometimes gets deleted."
"It would be good if college or university students could explore HashiCorp Cloud Platform to a certain extent as an open-source solution."
"You need knowledge and experience to use Terraform, Vault, and other HashiCorp tools."
"I don't have enough experience with HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) yet to have any recommendations for improvement at this time, but I would suggest speeding up the process."
"From an improvement perspective, there is a need to ensure some bug fixes."
"If HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) could implement a way to configure the machines internally, and not only the cloud infrastructure provisioning and the boxes, and if they also added a way that we can easily configure the package or deploy applications inside the boxes, it would be fantastic."
"The support service needs improvement. The support team isn't very active in addressing cases. It should also provide a web application."
"I would really like to see more granularity in the costing model. That's the one limitation that we do have: We have a lot of departments. We want to be able to break down, in a granular way, that this department is using X amount of resources, that department is using Y amount of resources... I want to be able to tag it and say, "This is this department's fees, this is that department's fees." That way I could charge back internally to my own departments."
"The interconnects were a challenge originally, but they sorted that out, and It was fine. We did have to spend a bit more money."
"Part of the integration, with cutting things over to Unisys, may have hurt us a bit. We had a couple of rough implementations earlier this year. Part of that was due to some internal system changes on HPE's side. We are keeping an eye on this to make sure it doesn't happen again."
"The time to receive a price when I am going to a proposal is too long."
"There is a need for improved support in HPE GreenLake, including more administrators and engineers to provide faster resolution for issues."
"I don't think we'll know until we get to the end of the contract if the service has saved us money."
"I think the solution has cost us money. It hasn't decreased the time it takes to deploy IT projects."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For my side, the tool is not expensive. It is a very flexible product that you can utilize. I think the tool is a little bit expensive for smaller companies, especially startups."
"The solution's pricing is moderate according to industry standard prices."
"It's a small cost per month compared to that one-time purchase. The big thing is if you get your one-time purchase wrong, then you are buying a lot more. With GreenLake, if we miss estimate (which with all the planning, you usually don't), we sign a piece of paper, and then they send more equipment in."
"We have reduced a lot of our VMware licensing costs."
"HPE GreenLake has been growing in popularity due to its subscription model. The flexibility of the solution allows it to adapt to the changing market trends towards more edge performance and workloads."
"Right now we're paying about $180,000 per year."
"In terms of pricing, it's a bit on the higher side."
"If you are looking to turn some of your capital expense into operational expense, this allows you to do it. It is a good idea."
"Pricing is based on usage plateaus. The more you use, the more you pay."
"The price could be more flexible."
