Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Converged Infrastructure."The storage, BladeSystems, Virtual Connect, and simplicity with hyper-converged solutions are the most valuable features of this solution."
"This solution is very simple to use."
"The tool's most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to restore lost machines. Essentially its high availability capabilities are extremely valuable to us."
"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 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."
"Offsite backup, replication, and duplication of data are important for our plant environment since we are hard on our equipment."
"It is simple and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature for us is its integration, as it provides an entire solution in a single box."
"It has lessened our burden on multiple different products, so they are under one umbrella. This has been economically good."
"It allows you to take advantage of the unique platform of computing, cloud management, storage, and integrated networks, as well as software-defined data management, which is easy to use. "
"Software upgrades and scalability can be done during normal business hours with no downtime."
"The ability to backup our data without requiring additional storage media or software application was a huge gain."
"It's very simple to manage. It has reduced the footprint in the datacenters quite a lot."
"The solution has a complicated front-end."
"Features that should be addressed concern the HPE functionality and the interaction with VMware."
"The MTG inside HP could be improved."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The interface is not fully integrated with the ESXi, which is something that could be improved."
"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."
"The price is quite high. The system could also be more scalable."
"I have a free project with SimpliVity deployment in the next three months. What can be improved is that in one or two of these projects, I need a cloud backup for the infrastructure and data. As for the infrastructure of the product as it relates to customer size, it is not very good at this moment in Peru. I need a solution for the cloud. In Peru, it's a three or four solution provider for cloud services."
"The backup and recovery process needs to be faster. Right now, it's a bit slow."
"Needs to improve the cloud integration, such as Azure and AWS."
"I can say that the support was better when it was a separate company, when it was SimpliVity. But, now with HPE it has not been quite as good. B"
"SimpliVity has no file server services. That's one of the solution's biggest shortcomings."
"They could have better-specialized support for more countries."
"It would be better if it could integrate more easily with other vendors."
