Oracle Database Administrator at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees
Robust security layers have supported mission-critical banking and protected sensitive data
Where I have not really enjoyed is the flexibility of doing things. You are just in a straitjacket with what they give you. The flexibility of doing things is limited compared to other platforms. The backup and restore features on that module were a bit old. I couldn't create a snapshot and provision a server in minutes. The VM features that I can use now easily were not that easy with HPE Integrity and were not even available for us. I had a lot of interaction with HPE Integrity and wanted to move to a different platform for a different experience. I did not see any products matching the Dell PowerFlex environment in terms of server capabilities when it comes to HPE Integrity. We are now using Oracle products and Oracle Data Guard. Oracle on HPE Integrity was a bit more difficult because you have to get separate patches, separate tunables, and separate kernel settings for HPE Integrity. Everything was so proprietary on HPE Integrity, making it difficult to have one solution. The Dell Linux environment with Oracle Linux OS now will be much easier.

With a perfect record for uptime, the solution ensures a return on investment
Since it is a legacy tool, there is a need to change it for flexibility. I think now it has improved because the security is very good. It is very secure for the performance of the machine critical application service, and it is very good. I don't know how to speak more on improvement needed because it's a good enough tool. However, depending on the application, it's limited. Not a lot of applications run on HPE NonStop. It is not flexible because I know that because of the compatibility of Java with HPE NonStop. When we are using Java, the performance is not good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It just keeps on going; we don't have any problems with any HPE equipment, to be fair."
"HPE Integrity is a reliable solution, but you'll need to refurbish the hardware because it's approaching the end of sale."
"As a summary, I would say it's been the best high availability platform that HP has produced, at least that we have been able to use and forward to our customers with the highest service level availability."
"We use it as a database server for SAP systems, and it is performing very well."
"The stability is pretty good."
"We have what is called a chief data care center support. This is the highest level of support they have. We have been very happy with the support we have received."
"The tool provides good performance and productivity."
"The benefit provided by the solution for my organization stems from the fact that it provides maximum reliability and availability to users."
"Because we're able to get immediate support, this prevents downtime and directly impacts cost savings."
"We don't have any issues with the stability of HPE NonStop."
"They've been very reliable since we started using them in 1978, but we're going to replace them in a few years."
"The stability of HPE NonStop is good."
"Implement it. You will never regret it."
"The HPE NonStop solution is rated with the highest level of availability in the industry."
"If you are contemplating a fault-tolerant, high uptime transaction processing machine with above normal transactions volumes - to act as a transaction server with infrequent changes to code - and you simply must have bulletproof performance - this might be the ticket."
"Feature-wise, the most valuable one is the fact that it has 100 hundred percent uptime every year. Secondly, it is stable."
 

Cons

"HPE Integrity needs improvement in terms of pricing for scalability."
"It is an old technology, so there is not much growth that we can do on it now."
"The quantity of the processor from Integrity, because at this moment there's a limit."
"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."
"HPE Integrity has always been one step behind in areas like virtualization technologies, cloud enablement, the speed of backups, and replication."
"Blade system backplane is SPOF."
"Where I have not really enjoyed is the flexibility of doing things. You are just in a straitjacket with what they give you."
"The virtualization of HPE Integrity could be simplified. We have discussed this issue with HPE and hopefully, they will have an update."
"If pushed, then the only thing I can think of would be utilities provided by the vendor."
"There were some scalability issues. When we decided to migrate an application or port application, the limitations of these servers did not help us."
"The hardware fails often, and I feel that HP really needs to pay more attention to this issue."
"It is a nearly perfect product, although it also has some restrictions and short comings."
"It is not flexible...Not a lot of applications run on HPE NonStop."
"NonStop (formerly known as Tandem) in the Guardian OS could use another, friendlier macro language."
"It would be helpful if they brought the price down."
"HPE NonStop could improve by having infrastructure management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."
"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."
"The price is not very expensive."
"The pricing is the best."
"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"HPE NonStop is definitely on the higher end."
"The price of the solution is too high. If they lowered the price substantially it would open up more opportunities. It's considered a replacement for the old 9000 boxes of HP. If it had a lower price, we would be able to compete in the financial, and other sectors and other solutions such as Terraform. Having a high price makes other solutions more attractive."
