JQ
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

"We use it as a database server for SAP systems, and it is performing very well."
"If one needs a system with first class stability that may be an expensive solution, HPE Integrity is a way to go."
"It's a very good product to use for medium-sized companies."
"This is a reliable server, and many applications are integrated there."
"The tool provides good performance and productivity."
"Except running Oracle on Integrity servers, its ROI is well justified in customer environments."
"The added value of Integrity has always been the reliability of the processors and all the parts in the servers."
"We need to be able to offer our customers continuous service 24/7, and we are able to do all this with Integrity."
"This is the standard for reliability and fault-resilience."
"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."
"Technical support is A++. If there is a problem, HPE will fix it."
"It helps us to keep the business running 24/7."
"Feature-wise, the most valuable one is the fact that it has 100 hundred percent uptime every year. Secondly, it is stable."
"It is a nearly perfect product, although it also has some restrictions and short comings."
"The HPE NonStop solution is rated with the highest level of availability in the industry."
"Implement it. You will never regret it."
 

Cons

"HPE Integrity is a pain. HPE hasn't put much work into developing the solution in the past few years because it will be discontinued soon."
"Blade system backplane is SPOF."
"The virtualization of HPE Integrity could be simplified. We have discussed this issue with HPE and hopefully, they will have an update."
"Where I have not really enjoyed is the flexibility of doing things. You are just in a straitjacket with what they give you."
"The quantity of the processor from Integrity, because at this moment there's a limit."
"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"I would like to see a GUI interface to manage resources and deploy new servers."
"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"NonStop (formerly known as Tandem) in the Guardian OS could use another, friendlier macro language."
"The initial setup is complex. You need the help of a consultant for it to go smoothly."
"It would be helpful if they brought the price down."
"If pushed, then the only thing I can think of would be utilities provided by the vendor."
"I would never advise someone to buy or to implement the new NonStop because it's hard to find skilled people."
"The hardware fails often, and I feel that HP really needs to pay more attention to this issue."
"The NonStop system is well priced, but the software that runs on it is quite pricey."
"There were some scalability issues. When we decided to migrate an application or port application, the limitations of these servers did not help us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."
"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."
"The pricing is the best."
"The price is not very expensive."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
"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."
"HPE NonStop is definitely on the higher end."
