Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Feature-wise, the most valuable one is the fact that it has 100 hundred percent uptime every year. Secondly, it is stable.""The stability of HPE NonStop is good.""We don't have any issues with the stability of HPE NonStop."

More HPE NonStop Pros →

"It is first in class for composable infrastructure. It has the scalability that meets our future needs and the automation that builds into something that we are really looking forward to using.​""It's a fully integrated solution with OneView.""OneView, as a single point, a single management tool, it makes me delirious. It's really nice.""The most valuable features are the evolution of our existing HPE portfolio, the integration with our existing tool sets, and the enhanced capabilities that OneView bring.""We like that the solution can be arranged for an all-in-one single pane of glass, something our customers find important.""They're easy to swap and move around the datacenter, for sure. They don't occupy too much space for what they offer.""Great data storage and very good for software defined solutions.""I believe, compared to the C7000, it delivers a significant amount of innovation and flexibility,"

Cons
"It is not flexible...Not a lot of applications run on HPE NonStop.""HPE NonStop could improve by having infrastructure management.""It would be helpful if they brought the price down."

More HPE NonStop Cons →

"The main challenge we faced was that when it was installed it just did not work. There were faulty components and it took weeks of troubleshooting to find the faulty components, get them replaced. Getting help from HPE was difficult. Nobody knew about the product. It was a brand-new product and people had not been trained on it. That part was not a great experience.""I would like to see more nodes in a single chassis so we wouldn't have to purchase additional chassis.""The solution should support Cisco or other vendor interconnect models.""They were not so deep into integration with VMware.""I would like the ability to take the storage tray that is in a chassis and share it out to multiple chassis, not just the servers within the same chassis. This would be more efficient with resources.""It has been in the external integrations to other platforms that we have, which aren't HPE, where some of our challenges have been. I would like to see some integrations with non-HPE platforms.""We haven't seen any ROI, and it hasn't reduced our cost of operations.""The cost is quite high."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "HPE NonStop is definitely on the higher end."
  • "The price of the solution is too high. If they lowered the price substantially it would open up more opportunities. It's considered a replacement for the old 9000 boxes of HP. If it had a lower price, we would be able to compete in the financial, and other sectors and other solutions such as Terraform. Having a high price makes other solutions more attractive."
  • "On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing an eight."
  • More HPE NonStop Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The Nutanix platform came in a little more expensive than the Synergy."
  • "The solution has reduced our IT infrastructure costs because we have had to buy less services than we used to."
  • "In our whole environment, the cost is in the millions. On this particular chassis, the annual cost is 12 blades times approximately $40,000."
  • "The biggest cost is the VMware licensing."
  • "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."
  • "There was at least about a 20 percent savings in cost over our purchase based on the purchase price of the compute modules themselves versus what we've had to pay before. It was significantly less."
  • "Synergy has lowered our total cost of ownership significantly. I would say ballpark around 25 percent, maybe more."
  • "We bought everything outright to start with. We don't do much consumption-based stuff."
