User Testimonials
	HPE Synergy	Liqid Composable Infrastructure (Liqid CI Platform)
Likelihood to Recommend	Best suited for virtualization and multi-environment implementations. Bare metal deployments have a few more limitations. Incentivized BB Bob Bennett Infrastructure Architect Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	Nearly instant configuration of applications according to specific requirements within a single pool Deployment, updating and monitoring via a single interface Updates and redeployment with minimal service interruption Support for virtual, bare metal and containerized workloads Incentivized BB Bob Bennett Infrastructure Architect Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	Firmware repository size limitations could be larger (was increased recently but still is only room for a few SPPs) Profile template updates flag all machines that haven't had their profile updated from the template, causing the dashboard to go red with warnings and can cause unnecessary concern OneView, while powerful isn't as user friendly as it could be Incentivized BB Bob Bennett Infrastructure Architect Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	The hardware has fulfilled all of the promises that it made when we first acquired it. The only thing that would preclude this would be if the organization decided to holistically switch hardware vendors for reasons other than performance and feature sets. Incentivized BB Bob Bennett Infrastructure Architect Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	While all similar offerings can achieve basically the same thing, HPE Synergy stands out against Cisco and Dell offerings with respect to manageability, ease of use and flexibility - HPE Synergy offers configurations groups of chassis to create logical enclosures that can be managed as a single entity and also blades in any slot can be plumbed and allocated as necessary to multiple uplinks. This is one level more flexible than the others which limits configurations of blades in a single chassis to similar uplink settings. Also, the HPE Synergy chassis itself supports 12 blades vs 10 in competitive offerings. Incentivized BB Bob Bennett Infrastructure Architect Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Eased concerns for go-live of a huge new deployment as we knew we could respond to any scaling concern swiftly and thoroughly Hardware has been rock solid since implementation Limits to initially deployed logical enclosure configurations have been addressed rapidly by the introduction of new hardware with fast speeds/additional management ring connectivity options Incentivized BB Bob Bennett Infrastructure Architect Read full review	No answers on this topic
