HPE ProLiant DL Servers Reviews

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.

We use this solution for everything. We use it for payment solutions and for the switch.

It is currently deployed on-premises, but we are moving to a private cloud because our requirements have really grown over the years.

Its reliability and after-sales support are very good.

It is too expensive. Its price should be improved.

The system admin interface should have better visibility while troubleshooting a problem, even when the problem is coming from the application.

I have been working with this solution for 20 years.

It is very stable. That's why we have so many of them.

It is very scalable. We are able to add memory and storage. My company supports all the banks in Nigeria, and they use this solution. 

We have very good local support in Nigeria. They're very good. We don't have any problems.

The initial setup is straightforward.

It is just too expensive.

I would advise others to get the technical training for this solution. They would then enjoy this solution very well.

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

DL servers have fixability to configure, manage and reliability.

you can depend on it in productive environments. 

This is a very practical solution and that's what I like about it. It's also easy to maintain. 

Configurations very simplified. The technical support and training process Very good.

I've been using this solution for seven years minimum. 

The stability is very good. 

There are very responsive however the solution is very easy to maintain.

I would rate this solution an ten out of 10. 

We are using these servers as cluster nodes. We are running VM with Hyper-V.

This product is feature-rich and is easy to install.

Sometimes, there are connectivity issues and the server is not able to connect to our SAN. One example is when we reboot from SAN storage, we face issues such as not being able to detect the SAN port. After we installed two new physical hard disks, that issue went away. It should be more stable.

We have been using the ProLiant DL Servers for the past four years.

These servers are stable, although sometimes there are connectivity issues. We do plan to continue using them in the future.

This is a scalable product. We have a five-node cluster with close to 3,500 users using different applications.

Technical support is rapid and very good. They take our calls immediately and resolve issues within four to five hours. The last time we had an issue, it was resolved immediately.

The initial setup is straightforward and easy. It will take about an hour to deploy, from scratch.

We deployed this product ourselves.

We have a data center team and a NOC team, with seven people who are managing these servers.

This is a good product and I can recommend it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We are a solution provider and the ProLiant DL Servers are one of the products that we implement for our customers. They are primarily used as domain controllers and file servers. One of our customers also uses them for Nutanix.

The most valuable feature is stability.

The price of this solution should be lowered to make it more competitive.

We have been working with the HPE ProLiant DL Servers for about two years.

These servers are stable and we plan to continue working with them.

This is a scalable product.

We are satisfied with the technical support from HPE.

The initial setup is straightforward and they take between a day and two days to deploy.

Our in-house team is responsible for deployment. One person is enough for deployment and maintenance.

This is an expensive product and there is licensing required for iLO, which is the HPE monitoring system. There are no charges in addition to this.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
