Featured Reviews

Linda Belebesi - PeerSpot reviewer
Highly stable, straightforward, and easy to use
In terms of improvement, the operating system development is slow, making it hard to keep up with modern tech and integrate with third-party products. Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365. This means if you are using HPE, you might face challenges connecting to the cloud and need to rely more on on-premises servers. Also, the support is lacking in some third-party products, limiting your options.

Helps grow horizontally or vertically within one box or chassis
The initial setup is very easy. We deployed this in two days, including installation, system setup, firmware upgrades, configuration, and network connection. By the next day, we were already deploying virtual machines. We initially began with the Blade system. As the migration to SAP HANA approached, it seemed prudent to upgrade our hardware. Consequently, we facilitated their transition from the Blade system to Synergy. Subsequently, we collaborated closely with the SAP consultancy company to oversee the migration process, ensuring seamless integration of all workloads and sub-environments. We have four people working on the deployment, including a project manager, two specialists, and one tech support.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool provides good performance and productivity."
"It is very fast and easy to use."
"The benefit provided by the solution for my organization stems from the fact that it provides maximum reliability and availability to users."
"This is a reliable server, and many applications are integrated there."
"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."
"HPE Integrity is a reliable solution, but you'll need to refurbish the hardware because it's approaching the end of sale."
"The price is reasonable, and the stability and scalability are okay. We bought the solution because it suits our needs."
"In the data center, you see customers with a lot of blade enclosures and a lot of servers, and this solution works fine."
"We like that the solution can be arranged for an all-in-one single pane of glass, something our customers find important."
"Everything is in one place. We have one place to with OneView. It provides one console with one place to get to everything. The one interface makes it easier. We have one guy who does almost everything in it."
"Great flexibility including configuring the interconnects on the use of the chassis."
"HPE Synergy is a stable solution."
"The i3S module can be configured to provision storage to all blade servers and boot to any operating system without needing local hard drives."
"Everything is combined in one chassis, you have storage, compute, networking. So you save a lot of space in the datacenter."
 

Cons

"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."
"The virtualization of HPE Integrity could be simplified. We have discussed this issue with HPE and hopefully, they will have an update."
"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."
"HPE Integrity needs improvement in terms of pricing for scalability."
"The manageability must be improved."
"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"HPE Integrity has always been one step behind in areas like virtualization technologies, cloud enablement, the speed of backups, and replication."
"Pricing is very high."
"The deployment time of a system through OneView is pretty slow, but apparently that's being addressed in an upcoming update."
"The setup was a bit complex."
"The pricing can be improved as it is a costly solution due to sanctions in Iran."
"The power consumption is very high, and there should be a more efficient way of reducing the power requirements while maintaining high performance."
"The technical support was about the only negative experience that I had. It was a mixed bag when we were first standing it up. We had some requirements from our information security department, and technical support wasn't able to give me immediate answers. They had to engage engineering, which they did, then they got me the answers. However, it took a week of back and forth conversations and phone calls to get it all worked out."
"The solution must concentrate on improving the product quality."
"I would definitely like to see them fix the firmware updates on all the blades. No matter what operating system it is running on, make sure I can do the firmware as well as the software for those firmware components at the same time. I don't want to have to rely on an external product. Let's bring that product inside the menu so that I have a better experience with updates."
"The speed in OneView and how it updates the entire configuration needs improvement. If they can do that, and it could be a little more clear on what impact different actions will have for certain things, that would be good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."
"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."
"The pricing is the best."
"The price is not very expensive."
"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 Nutanix platform came in a little more expensive than the Synergy."
"We do CAPEX."
"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."
"We don't have to pay for Synergy because it's part of our plan."
"We bought everything outright to start with. We don't do much consumption-based stuff."
"The solution has reduced our IT infrastructure costs because we have had to buy less services than we used to."
"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."
