We performed a comparison between HPE ConvergedSystem and VxRail 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 tool's most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to restore lost machines. Essentially its high availability capabilities are extremely valuable to us."
"We find the deduplication and compression features to be most valuable, as well as that of the backup solution inside."
"We use the solution for DDI."
"The user interface, reporting, and management are good, and we are quite happy with the performance."
"Consolidation and duplications features."
"The most valuable features of HPE ConvergedSystem are scalability and resilience."
"Most of the HP products I come across are they are easy to install. That's not very complex."
"The stability is very nice. We haven't had any issues with the cluster. The cluster is very stable. No problems with slowness. Everything has been stable. It was well-architectured."
"It is very powerful. We find that to be the most valuable aspect. The movement of devices between nodes is very easy."
"VxRail can be used for application modernization."
"One beneficial feature is that the solution can handle complex environments."
"Its ease of administration is extremely valuable. It allows me to make better use of my time for other tasks instead of maintaining systems through multiple administration consoles."
"It is truly a hyper-converged infrastructure, so everything is there together."
"It's a simple product, fast, and reliable."
"My customers use it for VDI. It has been very usable and very fast to use with VDI. On the VxRail side also, it has been very fast."
"There is some scope for improvement in support. The response time could be better."
"Perhaps they can work on providing faster allocation of memory or storage."
"The interface is not fully integrated with the ESXi, which is something that could be improved."
"The solution needs to add NFS features."
"The MTG inside HP could be improved."
"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."
"Pricing is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"Right now, it's difficult for a non-technical person to participate in using the product. It could be made more consumer-friendly."
"If they can provide deduplication compression through the traditional hard drives, as Cisco does in the HyperFlex system, it will be very cost-effective, especially when it comes to archiving workload. VxRail doesn't allow the mixing of old flash clusters and hyper clusters. When I'm starting with an old flash cluster and it comes to archiving workload, I will also need to attend the new cluster. So, I either manage two different clusters, or I pay and upload my work with the archiving mobile hard drive, which is not cost-effective at all. The main key is to allow mixing between two types of clustering, like Nutanix, or allow deduplication of completion over the period of shared hard drive on SAV. It will be much better."
"At present, VxRail is a hyperconverged state of the art product being installed in a legacy way. We need hyperconverged install teams."
"I would like to have a unified platform where I, for example, can manage my 50 stores from a single portal in VxRail and be able to apply all the updates at once. I want to unify them into a centralized console."
"We would like to see integrating with Nutanix. Currently, we are working on integrating the two to see if there is any value in doing so."
"VxRail could be easier to set up. It's tricky to configure the network properly and match the requirements."
"In the next release, maybe they could add in integration with the hyper-cloud so it will be easier to do the movement up and back to the cloud in order to scale in and scale out."
"Its price needs to be improved. It is very expensive. NSX should be licensed together. It will make the network virtualization layer more usable. It would be better if they come together in a bundle, not separately."
