Cons
"The other similar solutions used different CLI commands than HPE BladeSystem. The HPE BladeSystem CLI commands should be the same as the other companies which would make it easier to manage. It would be better for the system administrators to manage HPE BladeSystem and other systems together. I wanted to configure this service with the CLI but the commands are different than the other solutions making it a bit more difficult.""HPE BladeSystem can improve by providing the latest generation processor engine, such as the I-Flex processor.""Non-disruptive firmware upgrades in all areas of blade technology.""They are not selling BladeSystem anymore. The end of the sale of this platform was this year, 2020.""The only side that must be improved is the active-passive interconnect module architecture.""For me, the product is okay, but I would probably suggest improvement in their services or technical support. They need to work harder in the preventative maintenance of the system. They need to improve in terms of how quickly can we get attention and how quickly problems are resolved. Its price could also be lower.""We have not needed to contact support because we have not had an issue. However, the partner support we had could improve. There are some disadvantages compared to Dell. The questions that are asked from the support are too lengthy, this causes a delay in support.""The problem is that when want to expand with a new chassis, you have to do everything manually. It's not automatic."

More HPE BladeSystem Cons →

"The reliability needs improvement.""It should be improved in terms of future expansion. We should be able to have additional free slots for future extensions in terms of memory.""There is some trouble with the stability part of the product, making it an area where improvements are required.""The price must be improved.""There could be some more ports added in the future.""The product’s pricing could be a little cheaper.""The need to update the firmware and check if there is any bug in the product is one of the areas where Dell PowerEdge C falls short and needs to make improvements.""It would be easier if data center management and disaster recovery were combined."
