"Consolidation and duplications features."
"The user interface, reporting, and management are good, and we are quite happy with the performance."
"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."
"This solution is very simple to use."
"The tool's most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"We find the deduplication and compression features to be most valuable, as well as that of the backup solution inside."
"It has improved system performance, batch times for off-hours processing, and reliability with production applications."
"The most valuable features are reliability and high availability."
"Finding a fully bundled, deployed, and configured solution with a short delivery time and unique support is really attractive."
"UCS Manager worked well for net/blade management and has allowed fairly easy use of dedicated bare-metal blades."
"Systems run solidly."
"The high redundancy of components has minimized frequent service degradation/failure."
"It's an integrated box Mac solution, so it's a plug and play. The deployment and build is pre-made and ready to deploy. It makes it easy to apply."
"The most valuable feature is that it is centrally managed, as it is quite easy for our customers to manage everything, end-to-end."
"The tool has shortcomings in its performance monitoring part."
"It could be enhanced by improving the built-in backup solution."
"The MTG inside HP could be improved."
"Pricing is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"I would like to see monitoring solutions included, as well as brand support."
"HPE ConvergedSystem needs to improve its price."
"The solution has a complicated front-end."
"This is an expensive solution."
"With respect to the technical support, there is room for improvement."
"The implementation and support could be better."
"I would like to see them improve their switching infrastructure and rely on Cisco configurations. They are a bit more complex and technical, but result in a slightly reduced cost in terms of switching on the network side of it."
"The integration with other vendors' products needs to be looked at. It's not as flexible as we would like it to be."
"It needs more customer/client involvement in back-end management."
"Troublesome relationships with VCE at the beginning of our use came undone quickly after we went live."
"Tighter alignment could simplify and speed up the configuration and delivery process."
"RCM upgrades were not scripted, and you needed to roll on your own. We were led to believe this would be otherwise."
