SHIVAKUMAR A P - PeerSpot reviewer
With an easy setup phase in place, it is suitable for small and large-sized businesses
When you speak of any enhancements in the product, you need to shift to the tool's commercial mode. You get more features in the solution if you pour in more money. If a customer needs some features in the solution, they will have to buy it since certain features are not loaded by default in the server. With entry-level licenses, servers are shipped to customers free of cost. Customers need to pay if they want more and more features in the solution. Every OEM solution in the market, including HPE ProLiant DL, operates similarly. The overall cost of the product needs to be lower, as it is one of the areas of concern in the product.
Santiago Zaragoza - PeerSpot reviewer
Simple to use and compatible with all other operating systems
I would rate the scalability of this solution a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. There are currently about 2,000 users of this solution in our company as it's a hospital. We also have plans to scale further.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"HPE ProLiant DL Servers are a great product. We don't have many complaints."
"The scalability is very high in 380, so instead of using the high-end servers, you can use multiple servers and segregate the applications between the servers. ​"
"The solution has always been very stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"HPE's iLO server management software is a handy tool to install and deploy."
"The quality and the technical support are the most valuable features."
"We get good performance with HPE ProLiant DL Servers. They are really stable. We run all our applications smoothly. We have no problem at all."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is scalability."
"The most valuable thing about Huawei FusionServer is the fact that it's easy to use."
 

Cons

"They can increase the controller cache. Currently, it has a controller cache of up to 4 GB. The RAID controller card comes with a maximum of 4 GB cache in HPE servers, whereas it comes with a maximum of 8 GB cache in Dell servers. They can also improve the port size. HP provides a 25 GB port on the server, whereas both Dell and Cisco provide a 100 GB port."
"The pricing of the solution is high compared to other products."
"The scalability of Gen8 models should be improved. They can also improve its price."
"A better option would be same day support, not next business day."
"The technical support could be a little faster."
"There is a challenge sometimes with having quick access to some of these components when you need them. It takes a lot of time to get spare parts from genuine sellers."
"We have had issues with ProLiant's intelligent provisioning. Sometimes, the drivers do not come up, so we have to install them manually."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more features not in the hardware but in the platform where I can manage all the servers and the hardware of the servers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are less expensive solutions than HPE ProLiant DL Servers. However, there is a lot of value in this solution."
"​If you have to include the warranty, enhance the warranty support.​"
"The price is a little too high; it could be reduced."
"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"I give the price a five out of ten."
"They should reduce the prices as it is a significant concern for developing countries."
"I like the price of this product and the add-on components. It is cheaper than Dell and is a one-time hardware purchase with minimal ongoing costs."
"The solution comes with a one time perpetual license which is included with the server."
