We prefer HPE SimpliVity modules in our environment, even when we have some different cases in operations.""The tool's most valuable features are stability and scalability.""The solution's technical support was good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""The most valuable features of HPE ConvergedSystem are scalability and resilience.""We find the deduplication and compression features to be most valuable, as well as that of the backup solution inside.""Consolidation and duplications features.""Most of the HP products I come across are they are easy to install. That's not very complex."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is good. We have not calculated what hyper-converged infrastructure has brought us but I think there has to be some lower cost for us, compared to the public cloud. Obviously, there would be a lower cost, probably by more than half."
  • "This is an expensive system and not every customer has the kind of budget to support it."
  • "The pricing is sensitive."
  • "This is an expensive solution."
  • "My company has a five year contract for HPE ConvergedSystem. The contracts depend on companies and sometimes it can be three years. The solution is worth its price."
  • "There are some extra costs in addition to the licensing costs for the yearly maintenance from professional third-party services."
  • "The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
  • "The pricing is competitive. Not a major problem. We have a subscription model."
