HPE SimpliVity Likes & Dislikes

Like

I really like its data efficiency, built-in backup and disaster recovery and easy of deployment.

Like

from my point of view HP have great key points, the most valuable for me is backup included on this solution.

Like

the capability of the HA function the capability of the smart storage replication

Dislike

What I dislike about this is the high cost of licensing and hardware, which can be expensive for smaller teams.

Dislike

maybe this solution is not easy to implement and you need high knowledge on other technologies live ESX Vmware, hardware or storage concepts. Also , i think you need to take some time to negotiate licenses and cost with your HPE provider if you want o take some good discounts.

Dislike

hard to navigate hpe site to obtain the software upgrade

    Navigating HPe Website for Software Upgrades Presents Challenges for Users

    4.0
    Sep 13, 2025
    When it is working , it works fantastic. When it is not working, most of the time we need to engage HPe Engineer to work on it. Not working as in hardware failure (and then everything breaks) until need to rebuild the setup. However, to be fair, the issue only happen at a particular sites. So i am not sure if it is due to environmental factors such as high dust environment. Other than that, other sites are working flawlessly. Only complain is pretty hard to navigate HPe sites to obtain software for upgrade the appliance version.

    Jul 24, 2025
    HPE SimpliVity is basically a simplified HCI solution which caters all in one solution for compute, storage and networking. My overall experience was a learning curve for me as AI driven operations are evolving and reducing manual work. It's very simple to use and operate, reducing the complex nature of the old traditional systems.
