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

"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."
"What I like about HPE Integrity servers is how stable and easy to use they are."
"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."
"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 product's most valuable features are troubleshooting and monitoring."
"This is a reliable server, and many applications are integrated there."
"OneView is head and shoulders above the competition in this space."
"Great data storage and very good for software defined solutions."
"It's very scalable. We like the idea that we can put four chassis in one of our racks, and we can connect up to 25 chassis, so the scalability to us, and being able to sync all those into one management portal, is unheard of. You can't really sync that many blades and chassis together in any other platform."
"We're able to provision different applications, different demonstrations, add cloud-like speeds on-prem, which is unheard of in the industry."
"In the data center, you see customers with a lot of blade enclosures and a lot of servers, and this solution works fine."
"It has improved our procurement and day zero provisioning. We are bringing in racks of Synergy which are not populated with the blades, then we are buying the blades and populating them, as our business needs. This has been pretty helpful to be able to sort of pre-package the data center with the Synergy platform, then deploy servers into it as we grow."
"The solution has decreased our deployment time by 10 to 20 percent."
"The initial setup is fine."
 

Cons

"The manageability must be improved."
"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."
"Pricing is very high."
"The virtualization of HPE Integrity could be simplified. We have discussed this issue with HPE and hopefully, they will have an update."
"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."
"HPE Integrity needs improvement in terms of pricing for scalability."
"HPE Integrity has always been one step behind in areas like virtualization technologies, cloud enablement, the speed of backups, and replication."
"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"The stability is not good right now. We have had a couple of outages where we have receive very good support from HPE. However, we have not been able to come up with cut and dried reasons for why the outages have occurred. They have not been able to be reproduced, so it has been difficult getting our trust back."
"The deployment time of a system through OneView is pretty slow, but apparently that's being addressed in an upcoming update."
"Synergy could probably do some code enhancements to simplify the deployment a bit more."
"I would be more comfortable if Ansible actually rolled back the data used for automating platforms. If it could be communicated to the upstream Ansible, I wouldn't need to go back and forth and validate the libraries as we upgrade the Ansible version."
"They must improve the OneView tools."
"I think we were promised a little more than we were given. It's true, they are working very hard to try to help remedy that."
"We haven't seen any ROI, and it hasn't reduced our cost of operations."
"After delivering the contract, they became a little less active. So, it needs some pushing from my side sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HPE Integrity's pricing could be better."
"The pricing is the best."
"The price is not very expensive."
"There is no license required to use HPE Integrity."
"Price-wise, the solution is very expensive."
"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."
"We outright purchased Synergy."
"When we made the purchase of the hardware, we added Professional Services to it."
"The solution has reduced our IT infrastructure costs by 50 percent."
"Synergy has lowered our total cost of ownership significantly. I would say ballpark around 25 percent, maybe more."
"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."
"It costs us around $60,000 a year."
"We are satisfied with its price."
