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."We started off with a base because we started our infrastructure with Dell and we always propose or prefer Dell which is easier to manage the warranty than with different vendors."
"It's a good solution when you don't need a lot of IT."
"We now find that the solution is quite stable."
"The security is very good on the solution."
"The online UA is very good in comparison to others."
"It is simple to use and it's user-friendly."
"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 system is very intuitive."
"This solution is very simple to use."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to restore lost machines. Essentially its high availability capabilities are extremely valuable to us."
"Most of the HP products I come across are they are easy to install. That's not very complex."
"We use the solution for DDI."
"The solution's technical support was good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The storage, BladeSystems, Virtual Connect, and simplicity with hyper-converged solutions are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The tool's most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"Consolidation and duplications features."
"When we first started with this product, we had some difficulty with it."
"The licensing can be difficult to understand."
"The scalability is limited with one chassis and the amount of storage it will give you, but it is mainly used for small offices."
"I'd like to be able to increase capacity."
"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."
"VRTX is a bit simplified to the extent that it is a mainstream type of solution for small businesses. If a company needs a more complex solution or something that is a time saver or has more power or scalability, it is probably not the best solution. However, when a company grows and its needs grow, this type of environment can be definitely migrated towards a lab environment or pre-prod testing, not necessarily production. It can still have a second life for the other types of use."
"The storage can be improved."
"It would be better to have a compact version of this solution for customers that have a small office and don't require a proper data center with power or an industrial type HP."
"The tool has shortcomings in its performance monitoring part."
"I would like to see better manageability and integration with third-party tools."
"Perhaps they can work on providing faster allocation of memory or storage."
"HPE ConvergedSystem needs to improve its price."
"I would like to see monitoring solutions included, as well as brand support."
"The solution has a complicated front-end."
"Pricing is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"The MTG inside HP could be improved."
