Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a reliable server, and many applications are integrated there."
"HPE Integrity is a reliable solution, but you'll need to refurbish the hardware because it's approaching the end of sale."
"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."
"It is very fast and easy to use."
"What I like about HPE Integrity servers is how stable and easy to use they are."
"The product's most valuable features are troubleshooting and monitoring."
"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 solution's greatest strengths lie in its ability to maintain a high availability and combine networking with hyper channel connectivity into a single component."
"Changing the form factor in Synergy allows us to have more RAM, which is significantly helpful for us."
"Synergy is much easier to use, which is saving us time. We are able to set the profiles for firmware upgrades. This makes the process for the care and feeding of the IT environment much simpler, quicker, and cleaner."
"The temporal value of it. If I only need a particular amount of compute for a specific period of time during business hours, then at night, I'm running a bunch of batch jobs, or doing something else, that ability to swap a profile, swap templates, and have compute assigned to something else, saves significant amount of money. As long as you are tying it into the automation and orchestration layers, it becomes much easier to do."
"As we purchase and install more Synergy chassis, then we will be able to manage them together as one entity, as opposed to multiple separate cabinets."
"Valuable features include its dependability, reliability, and the ease of managing the system."
"The initial setup is straightforward. The infrastructures as code enables you to fill out the configuration before you even deploy it, then it is just a one-touch deployment."
"Composability... We show our partners the value of composability and how it can meet their needs."
 

Cons

"The virtualization of HPE Integrity could be simplified. We have discussed this issue with HPE and hopefully, they will have an update."
"Pricing is very high."
"The manageability must be improved."
"HPE Integrity has always been one step behind in areas like virtualization technologies, cloud enablement, the speed of backups, and replication."
"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."
"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."
"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"HPE Integrity needs improvement in terms of pricing for scalability."
"Its management needs some work. It is not the best in terms of management. It has decent management. Its user interface can also be better."
"I would really like a way to validate the firmware in my specific environment before trying to deploy it. Those were the issues we had early on with firmware upgrades, particularly around certificates. All in all, having some level of confidence aside from it just having been tested generically would help. Something more specific to my environment would be very helpful."
"We have flaky things, like a lot of bad fans."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"In the past, I have had issues with configurations."
"The deployment time of a system through OneView is pretty slow, but apparently that's being addressed in an upcoming update."
"One of the things that I would like to see, and could be in their road map, is getting virtual connect to 100 Gig throughput."
"This solution could be improved by increasing the speed on the conversion adapters. It should be 100 gigs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is not very expensive."
"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."
"Synergy has lowered our total cost of ownership significantly. I would say ballpark around 25 percent, maybe more."
"We outright purchased Synergy."
"The biggest cost is the VMware licensing."
"We pay about £500 for the solution."
"We have already paid once. It is just the price for the permit and its use. It seems you don't have to keep paying for it, but I am not sure."
"We do a biannual renewal. I know how much that renewal is, but I don't know how much it breaks down to be just Synergy, since we have our VMware, all of our physical equipment, etc. all rolled up into one renewal, which is a little over $300,000 every two years. However, only a subset of that is the Synergy product."
"The cost is high and that is a drawback for some customers."
"When we made the purchase of the hardware, we added Professional Services to it."
