We performed a comparison between HPE ConvergedSystem and Vblock [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"The user interface, reporting, and management are good, and we are quite happy with the performance."
"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."
"This solution is very simple to use."
"We find the deduplication and compression features to be most valuable, as well as that of the backup solution inside."
"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."
"We use the solution for DDI."
"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."
"The XtremIO All-Flash array delivers performance, reliability, and deduplication."
"We have seen measurable increases in our system performance. Those increases have been directly measurable in application performance and the delivery of critical business information to our users."
"The high redundancy of components has minimized frequent service degradation/failure."
"VMware NSX: Provides the ability for our organisation to deliver true DR."
"The most valuable feature is that it is centrally managed, as it is quite easy for our customers to manage everything, end-to-end."
"UCS Manager worked well for net/blade management and has allowed fairly easy use of dedicated bare-metal blades."
"Perhaps they can work on providing faster allocation of memory or storage."
"Features that should be addressed concern the HPE functionality and the interaction with VMware."
"Pricing is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"The solution has a complicated front-end."
"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."
"The solution needs to add NFS features."
"I would like to see monitoring solutions included, as well as brand support."
"This is an expensive solution."
"With respect to the technical support, there is room for improvement."
"Troublesome relationships with VCE at the beginning of our use came undone quickly after we went live."
"While most public clouds are deployed on Linux, there is current no certified Vblock working on KVM hypervisors."
"OEM services requires too much planning and low availability of certified engineers."
"Improve the patching process and timeliness of updates/releases."
"Tighter alignment could simplify and speed up the configuration and delivery process."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see a smaller footprint in the data center and have improvements to disk performance."
