We performed a comparison between HPE Integrity and HPE Synergy based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Blade Servers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product's most valuable features are troubleshooting and monitoring."
"It is very fast and easy to use."
"We have what is called a chief data care center support. This is the highest level of support they have. We have been very happy with the support we have received."
"The tool provides good performance and productivity."
"The benefit provided by the solution for my organization stems from the fact that it provides maximum reliability and availability to users."
"What I like about HPE Integrity servers is how stable and easy to use they are."
"HPE Integrity is a reliable solution, but you'll need to refurbish the hardware because it's approaching the end of sale."
"It has had a positive effect on the efficiency of our IT infrastructure team. The manageability of it is so easy, we're able to install it quickly, and replacement parts are easy to get in and out quickly."
"I love the satellite architecture for the Virtual Connect. I think this is great. I love the storage drawer, which you can present volumes to any compute node within the same frame."
"The scalability is very good. The ability to link chassis or frames together makes it simplistic, especially with the use of OneView."
"The stability of the solution is very reliable."
"It's more composable, you can use storage as well as compute blades. So maybe it's more versatile compared to the traditional blade systems."
"The composable infrastructure allows us to build our own server profiles, then build up the infrastructure that we need from compute modules."
"The initial setup is straightforward. The infrastructures as code enables you to fill out the configuration before you even deploy it, then it is just a one-touch deployment."
"It is a simple software to integrate with others."
"The virtualization of HPE Integrity could be simplified. We have discussed this issue with HPE and hopefully, they will have an update."
"HPE Integrity has always been one step behind in areas like virtualization technologies, cloud enablement, the speed of backups, and replication."
"Unlike other platforms, it lacks easy integration with popular cloud services like Office 365."
"The manageability must be improved."
"HPE Integrity is a pain. HPE hasn't put much work into developing the solution in the past few years because it will be discontinued soon."
"HPE Integrity needs improvement in terms of pricing for scalability."
"The monitoring is an area that needs some improvement."
"The only good thing is that they have some powerful machines that you can use, such as the latest generations of HPE Compute that you can use."
"One of the issues that we that we have been having is with the firmware baselining. So, we need to just making sure that we get that working. However, we are in the early stages. It may well be that we just tweak a few things."
"The initial setup was complex. We had a couple of bright engineers working on it, and they figured out a lot of things that they don't know... The problem was that they couldn't find documentation easily, to walk them through setup when they just didn't know the platform."
"Synergy could probably do some code enhancements to simplify the deployment a bit more."
"Over the two years of using HPE Synergy, we have found some hardware failures that are frequent in the SOP models, CNA cards, and converged network adapters. These failures are frequently happening for a lot of the customers."
"I would like it to connect to the HPE Cloud Connect compute platform for simplicity of our infrastructure."
"The lowest echelon of HPE technical support is sadly uninformed, unknowledgeable, and dependent on wrote scripts. They won't answer a question without going through their script. It's not like you're actually talking to somebody who has any depth or time using any of the equipment."
"They were not so deep into integration with VMware."
