HPE ProLiant DL Servers Reviews

We use HPE ProLiant DL Servers as part of our management solution and for some specific applications.

This solution has improved how our organization functions because it enhances the service delivery, as part of the managed solution.

HPE ProLiant DL Servers have good performance and they support different types of applications.

The support lifecycle for the product for the Telco application should be better.

I have been using HPE ProLiant DL Servers for approximately one year.

HPE ProLiant DL Servers have been stable.

In my experience, HPE ProLiant DL Servers are scalable.

We have approximately 45 users using the solution in my organization. We plan to increase usage.

We use a system integrator for support.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate HPE ProLiant DL Servers a nine out of ten.

The most common use cases for HPE ProLiant DL Servers are application servers, web servers, and screen servers.

HPE ProLiant DL Servers are customizable, but when you first deploy them, you basically have to rebuild configurations on them. This is true for large orders. But for small orders, you will be tied up with previous configurations of some other brand like Dell.

I have been selling HPE ProLiant DL Servers for 11 years. I configure HP ProLiant and SimpliVity products every day for the purpose of selling. I am not an engineer. I am a sales executive. 

HPE ProLiant DL Servers is stable. 

HPE ProLiant DL Servers is scalable. 

We are quite satisfied with the technical support. We have a direct contact with our HP support. They are always very useful.

HPE ProLiant DL Servers is easy to deploy. 

We primarily use the product for normal server purposes, for the running of Windows 2016 or 2019. We also use it for custom network monitoring applications, so we may monitor some of our infrastructure. I would not consider the product to be very specific, as the application is dependent on the HP server. We can post it on any server.

While there is nothing specific that I like about HP server products, they are stable, as much so as Dell EMC.

HPE ProLiant DL Servers lack scalability.

We have been using HPE and Dell EMC service products for two years.

We have had no issues with the stability of the product.

HPE ProLiant DL Servers are not scalable. There will be no dependency between the other servers, should we need to scale. Unlike VxRail, it will be completely isolated, the solutions being capable of being scaled up to 64 nodes. It is a pay-as-you-grow solution, which is the one that we are moving on from now.

We have not had occasion to make direct use of HPE technical support, although we we are in regular contact with the contractor who's providing the software running on the HPE. I do not recall any issue involving the hardware.

While the product was delivered by a single contractor, the installation time was that of any other typical server. This only consisted of configuring the ILO, followed by putting on the operating system. That is all. Up to a certain operating level, the configuration of the product would not be a matter of days.

As the business services we provide are of a confidential nature, both for government and military purposes, we deploy strictly on-premises.

The HPE and Dell EMC service products we are using were delivered by the vendor as part of one specific project and it is not up to us to advise which hardware will be provided. Yet, we always take advantage of any internal projects that we have.

We did not need to pay for a license for the use of HPE DL Servers, just for normal hardcore support. 

In addition to HPE server products, we also evaluated Dell EMC and found the two to be equally stable, although the former does not have a strong presence in Qatar. This said, we evaluated Dell EMC VxRail and Cisco HyperFlex for their virtualization player or hyper-converged player capabilities, but did not consider HP for these features.

Due to Dell EMC's strong presence in Qatar, I would recommend use of this product over that of HPE. This does not owe itself to any technical issues, only that Dell EMC has a stronger presence. Of course, the level of support is an important feature for the end-user.

The kind of servers or HPE products we are using with those of ProLiant DL are DL390, 380, gen 10 and HPDL. We are utilizing gen 10 as our latest version of DL servers.

We utilize a total of six HPE Servers, strictly as a monitoring tool. The NOC membership comprises only 10 people.

As I mentioned, HPE ProLiant DL Servers came as part of a project. We will continue to use it for as long as we continue to renew the contract for the solution that is provided by the contractor.

The solution is primarily used for computing and to do database allocations

The product is very easy to use. It's extremely user-friendly.

The solution has always been very stable and reliable.

It's a well-made product. The construction is very high quality.

We found the installation to be very easy. It also does not take very long to deploy.

Technical support has always been very good. They and knowledgeable and they respond in a good amount of time.

The solution is a little bit expensive. It would be ideal if HPE could adjust its pricing to make the product more affordable.

I've been dealing with the solution for more than ten years. It's been at least a decade. It's been a long time.

The solution has been very stable over the years. It doesn't crash or freeze. It doesn't have bugs or glitches. The performance is always reliable.

The solution is quite scalable. If a company needs to expand the product, it can do so with ease.

We have about ten or 12 users of the solution at this time.

Technical support has always been very helpful and responsive when we have reached out to them. We're satisfied with the level of support they provide us. They've been very good over the years.

We also use Dell servers as well. However, it's based on the project and the client.

The initial setup is not complex at all. It's very straightforward and quite easy. A company shouldn't have any issues with the setup.

You can install it in less than ten minutes. It's a pretty quick process.

We handled the implementation ourselves, in-house. It was very easy. Our hardware team, our engineering team, handled the entire process. We have eight engineers on-hand that can handle implementations.

The solution is not cheap. It's quite expensive. It seems less competitive than other options on the market.

You don't pay for a license; you pay for the hardware outright.

We're an integrator. We can help clients set up the solution.

I'd recommend the solution to other organizations. It's a very high-quality product.

In general, we have been very satisfied with the capabilities of the solution. It's well made and works well. I'd rate it at an eight out of ten overall.

We use it for all of our needs. We use it for our servers, appliances, and virtualization. We have Gen8 and Gen10 models.

Its management, IOs, and stability are the most valuable features. It works fine. 

It has all the features of a typical server. All that can be done has already been done. 

The scalability of Gen8 models should be improved. They can also improve its price.

I have been using this solution for five or six years.

It is very stable.

Gen8 models are not as scalable as Gen10. You can't get parts for Gen8, but you can get parts for Gen10.

We have about 2,000 users, and they all use these servers.

It is fairly decent. It is straightforward most of the time. It takes less than a day for a server.

We installed them ourselves. The number of people required depends on how many servers you are deploying. 

The hardware should be cheaper.

HPE servers are pretty decent. We will definitely keep using them until their end of life. I am quite satisfied with this solution.

I would rate HPE ProLiant DL Servers an eight out of ten.

We use this solution to store documents.

It's flexible.

I have been using HPE ProLiant DL Servers for one year.

It's a stable solution.

It's a scalable product and we have almost 40 users in our organization who use it.

We will continue using this solution.

I have not contacted technical support. We have not had any issues.

My colleague has indicated that the initial setup was straightforward.

We have one person to maintain the solution.

It was a one-person job to deploy, and we did not use the help of an integrator or vendor.

The price in general, including the licensing fee, could be better. It's expensive.

The license is renewed yearly.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate HPE Proliant DL Servers a nine out of ten.

We primarily use it for our own servers. Basically, we use it for anything we need to have it for, including our servers, our appliances, and virtualization.

The solution has excellent management capabilities. The iLO is very good. It's got excellent stability and provides a solid performance.

The hardware is reliable.

To deploy one server takes less than a day. You don't need too many engineers.

The solution should work to be more scalable.

The pricing of the product needs to be better. Right now, it's quite costly.

I've been using the solution for five or six years at this point. It's been a good amount of time.

The scalability varies. However, you need to buy the size, and then you are stuck up to that level for the most part. Gen8 I wouldn't describe as scalable at all as you can't get Sparx for it. The solution is changing, however. Maybe in a few years, you will be able to. However, in general, the scalability is lacking.

We have 50,000 users and they all, in one way or another, use the servers.

We plan to continue to use the solution until its end-of-life.

The initial setup is not overly complex. It's pretty straightforward.

To install one server, it takes less than a day. Most of the time there aren't any issues.

You don't need too many people to deploy the product, however, it depends on how many servers you are setting up. For a few servers, you need few engineers and no more than that.

We installed the solution ourselves. We did not need a consultant or implementor to assist us. It was handled in-house.

The hardware is expensive. It needs to be cheaper. If they could work on that a bit, it would be very helpful to customers.

We use a mix of versions, mostly Gen8 and Gen10.

We've been quite satisfied with the solution overall. It's good hardware. I'd recommend it to organizations that mostly would be using Dell or HP servers.

I'd rate the solution, on a scale from one to ten, at an eight. We've been quite satisfied with the level of performance we get, and their general stability.

We use it for virtualization. We are using its latest version.

It is stable and easy to set up.

They should continue to maintain the stability that is there.

I have been using this solution for around nine months.

It is stable.

It is scalable. You just buy more. Less than 10% of the users in our company are using this solution directly.

I have not interacted with them.

We didn't use any other solution.

The initial setup was straightforward.

We did it ourselves. You need just one person for its deployment and maintenance.

It is not expensive. Its price is similar to other solutions.

I would recommend this solution. We plan to keep using this solution. 

I would rate HPE ProLiant DL Servers a nine out of ten.

The product can be used as a host.

The solution has very good performance and has been reliable.

We found that the extensions could be improved and the price could be a little lower.

I have been using this solution for two years.

It is a stable product.

The product has good potential for increased scalability. Currently, we have implemented the product for approximately 400 employees.

The support we experienced was good.

The setup was easy and not complicated.

Since the solution was not difficult to install, we were able to handle the full deployment ourselves with one technician.

The price of the product is a little high.

We still use this solution, but we're actually using an older version. Within our organization, there are roughly 10 users, using this solution.

Although we are happy with HPE ProLiant DL Servers, we are looking to replace them shortly.

HPE ProLiant DL Servers are a great product. We don't have many complaints.

I honestly can't think of any areas for improvement.

We've been using this solution for roughly 10 years.

The technical support is great. I have no complaints about them.

I used to use another solution, but that was over 10 years ago, so it's not relevant.

The initial setup is very straightforward. We installed it within half an hour.

We had some help with the implementation.

The price is a little too high; it could be reduced.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight.
