Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Converged Infrastructure."This solution is very simple to use."
"Consolidation and duplications features."
"We find the deduplication and compression features to be most valuable, as well as that of the backup solution inside."
"The storage, BladeSystems, Virtual Connect, and simplicity with hyper-converged solutions are the most valuable features of this solution."
"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 solution's technical support was good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the flexibility and the availability of the machines."
"We use the solution for DDI."
"Finding a fully bundled, deployed, and configured solution with a short delivery time and unique support is really attractive."
"The most valuable features are reliability and high availability."
"UCS Manager worked well for net/blade management and has allowed fairly easy use of dedicated bare-metal blades."
"It has improved system performance, batch times for off-hours processing, and reliability with production applications."
"Capability for scale and growth within a single rack brings strong possibilities for capacity planning."
"VMware NSX: Provides the ability for our organisation to deliver true DR."
"Access to VMs is now faster due to the centralized management console."
"Some of the key features are the ease of operation and access, without constraining actions. The tool is available to actually move things around, do things quickly quickly."
"The solution has a complicated front-end."
"This is an expensive solution."
"There is some scope for improvement in support. The response time could be better."
"It could be enhanced by improving the built-in backup solution."
"I would like to see monitoring solutions included, as well as brand support."
"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 price."
"VCE tools, like Vision or AMP were not stand alone, and depended too much on other management consoles."
"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."
"RCM upgrades are painful."
"The implementation and support could be better."
"Tighter alignment could simplify and speed up the configuration and delivery process."
"Troublesome relationships with VCE at the beginning of our use came undone quickly after we went live."
