Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Converged Infrastructure."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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the flexibility and the availability of the machines."
"We use the solution for DDI."
"This is a scalable solution. Our customers begin with an initial configuration and later add more servers, memory and other options to meet the demands of increased processing."
"Consolidation and duplications features."
"This solution is very simple to use."
"Most of the HP products I come across are they are easy to install. That's not very complex."
"The biggest benefit of this solution is that If you use it, you can use it for the company headquarters and also for all the branches. You use the same system, only a smaller size. With SimipliVity you can also use the included backup solution. You don't need any other solution to back up the data or to transfer it."
"Backups happen very quickly."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable aspect of the HPE SimpliVity is the DL380 G10. We have mostly been using VMware and Hyper-V. On one side we have Hyper-V and the other side we have the VMware."
"Offsite backup, replication, and duplication of data are important for our plant environment since we are hard on our equipment."
"The interface is very good and is very easy to navigate. You can find everything you need from one central place."
"The most valuable feature is high availability."
"Its simplicity is most valuable. The management is easy, and you don't have to have a lot of knowledge about storage, network, etc. It is simple to manage and simple to implement, and that's its key feature."
"The interface is not fully integrated with the ESXi, which is something that could be improved."
"Features that should be addressed concern the HPE functionality and the interaction with VMware."
"Perhaps they can work on providing faster allocation of memory or storage."
"Pricing is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"It could be enhanced by improving the built-in backup solution."
"The tool has shortcomings in its performance monitoring part."
"HPE ConvergedSystem needs to improve its management. I would like the tool to add cloud management features so that the system can be accessed anywhere from the cloud."
"HPE ConvergedSystem needs to improve its price."
"Its deployment should be easier."
"In the next release of the solution, they should make updating the solution easier. Currently, we have HPE doing it for us but I would like to be able to do it."
"I would like to see it able to restore item levels, especially for databases."
"There is room for improvement in that there is a need for so many Federation nodes. It would help if they increased that capacity so that we didn't have to have so much hardware in our secondary site."
"They should optimize the administration stack because it is consuming too much memory. It ends up consuming 20% of memory. They have another product for this feature, but I would like to have this feature within HPE SimpliVity."
"It would be better if we could deploy a hybrid cloud integrated to SimpliVity."
"I have some worries about the support after the acquisition. The support was better before HPE acquired SimpliVity."
"We should have something called micro segmentation inside the SimpliVity box, which can be easily implemented."
