Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."Using our own choice of HW allowed us to price our service to answer our customers' needs."
"The most valuable features are high availability and real-time replication between two servers."
"It has been extremely stable for the three years we've been running it."
"Active-active HA provides top performance and redundancy."
"Immediately we noticed huge performance gains, even on older hardware and once we implemented a 10GB link between both servers, the sync was near-instant after the initial sync was complete."
"The configuration is so much simpler than that of a traditional SAN with fewer points of failure to worry about."
"The most important feature is the ability to experience the loss of one node or one storage device, and not lose the entire cluster."
"They offer top-tier support."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the concept of hyper-convergence."
"It supports VDI deployment, enabling easy use for running different platforms in similar 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."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that the storage is integrated with the VxRail so I don't have to go in between systems when I have to monitor my storage."
"It's very easy to upgrade."
"The most compelling aspect of VxRail lies in its unwavering guarantee of sustained performance for my systems, regardless of their geographical distribution."
"The low latency and response times and having a virtualized environment within a single computer are valuable. I have no physical elements, and I can optimize or balance my data depending on the sales volume that I have in a specific store."
"The most valuable features are ease of management and ease of applying updates."
"The technical support from Dell was very good."
"Regular updates to the software are required, and subtle design changes would be welcome."
"One point for improvement is to increase the performance capabilities of the Windows-based executable as compared to its Linux Controller Virtual Machine (CVM) equivalent."
"The product can include a more simple way of synchronization after a forced shutdown as the current process has a few more steps to check that hosts have synchronized and this can be automated."
"It runs until it does not - and disaster recovery documentation is sparse and mostly unclear."
"The system failovers properly on its own without too much worry."
"The documentation is good. However, if compared with competitors, it could be enhanced and made more professional."
"An update caused a syncing issue and it took over a month to resolve it"
"To enable the proactive support capability that is part of our support agreement, I would ask that the terms and conditions be revised and made acceptable to corporate security."
"Lenovo ThinkAgile MX Certified Node’s support services could be faster."
"The product could support and have more compliance with other vendors."
"The cost is quite high. It's a very expensive solution to run."
"The licensing is a bit too costly."
"In the version that I was working with, the integrations are in need of improvement."
"We'd like to see more automation capabilities in the future."
"if we're looking at costs, Nutanix will win because it allows flexibility in the type of hardware you can use."
"The implementation of a VxRail, it's straightforward, but the ongoing utilization, and integration, are where it can start to become difficult if you're not used to doing it."
"While VxRail offers compatibility with AMD processors, its capabilities in this area could benefit from further development."
