Pros
"Stability-wise, it is a good product that remains stable.""They are really easy to maintain. I've added RAM to them.

Cons
"The processing capacity could be improved.""The product should also be available in a standard edition or a standard license since currently there is a need to pay for an extra license, which is very expensive, especially when considering the budgeting part of our company.""The platform's pricing needs improvement. There could be more collaborative tools included.""It is not a solution that is cloud ready.""The tool must be made compatible with multi-vendor ecosystems.""The biggest pain point for us is the matrix for the firmware upgrades. It is a pain. You look at that thing, you might as well be reading Greek. It would be a whole lot better if they could clean up their documentation on it.""One thing that could be improved is the cost - it is very high for this Blade chassis as compared to other vendors. Especially in Asia. Asian customers mostly prefer a cost effective, cheaper solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's expensive, they are quite pricey."
  • "The pricing of the solution is reasonable. From a commercial point of view, the prices are okay."

  • "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."
