We performed a comparison between Dell PowerEdge VRTX and HPE ConvergedSystem based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Converged Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is simple to use and it's user-friendly."
"With Dell PowerEdge VRTX, there are fewer points, and it is easier to troubleshoot and find your way around it."
"It is pretty easy to install."
"Dell PowerEdge VRTX supports a lot of memory which has allowed us to keep our system size smaller."
"In my view, the only aspect that could be enhanced in the Dell PowerEdge VRTX solution is the pricing. Apart from that, the overall performance and features of the solution are flawless."
"We were satisfied after we upgraded to a professional next-day on-site support."
"The most valuable feature is the combined management in one box."
"From a hardware perspective, it's interesting. The selling point of VRTX is that everything is built-in. For a small company that doesn't have a server room or the capabilities of hosting several servers, VRTX has four blades. The equivalent in regular server models would be four servers, which is a minimum of 4U, but it could easily be 8U, and then it would have storage. The storage is included inside the enclosure, and it would require a storage unit. It would also require connectivity, which would be ethernet or another protocol switch. From a software perspective, it's a little bit more integrated. You have an integrated way of managing the whole thing, including storage and networking. It has an internal network that can also be useful. I know for a fact that Dell is almost fazing out the product, and it is not that available anymore because it will just cannibalize their sales. They want to sell the more expensive stuff."
"The solution's technical support was good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Most of the HP products I come across are they are easy to install. That's not very complex."
"The storage, BladeSystems, Virtual Connect, and simplicity with hyper-converged solutions are the most valuable features of this solution."
"We use the solution for DDI."
"We find the deduplication and compression features to be most valuable, as well as that of the backup solution inside."
"The tool's most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to restore lost machines. Essentially its high availability capabilities are extremely valuable to us."
"The flexibility is the most advantageous aspect of the solution. Our system has a very big environment. Due to this, the replication and backup operation is not an easy task. We prefer HPE SimpliVity modules in our environment, even when we have some different cases in operations."
"The support must be improved."
"Dell PowerEdge VRTX can improve by providing support for M2 drives."
"We've had general issues related to the solution being difficult."
"The storage can be improved."
"Management of storage and networking is web-based, slow, and difficult."
"The nodes should be synced with the server so that the solution can be used from the cloud when any or all nodes are down."
"I'd like to be able to increase capacity."
"The licensing can be difficult to understand."
"The solution has a complicated front-end."
"The MTG inside HP could be improved."
"Pricing is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"The solution needs to add NFS features."
"It could be enhanced by improving the built-in backup solution."
"The interface is not fully integrated with the ESXi, which is something that could be improved."
"I would like to see monitoring solutions included, as well as brand support."
"I would like to see better manageability and integration with third-party tools."
