Find out in this report how the two Converged Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the combined management in one box."
"We were satisfied after we upgraded to a professional next-day on-site support."
"The security is very good on the solution."
"In my view, the only aspect that could be enhanced in the Dell PowerEdge VRTX solution is the pricing. Apart from that, the overall performance and features of the solution are flawless."
"The solution is stable."
"With Dell PowerEdge VRTX, there are fewer points, and it is easier to troubleshoot and find your way around it."
"We now find that the solution is quite stable."
"The system is very intuitive."
"Most of the HP products I come across are they are easy to install. That's not very complex."
"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 most valuable features of HPE ConvergedSystem are scalability and resilience."
"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."
"The solution's technical support was good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to restore lost machines. Essentially its high availability capabilities are extremely valuable to us."
"The licensing can be difficult to understand."
"It would be better to have a compact version of this solution for customers that have a small office and don't require a proper data center with power or an industrial type HP."
"Management of storage and networking is web-based, slow, and difficult."
"The support must be improved."
"The nodes should be synced with the server so that the solution can be used from the cloud when any or all nodes are down."
"When we first started with this product, we had some difficulty with it."
"The scalability is limited with one chassis and the amount of storage it will give you, but it is mainly used for small offices."
"The problem is with our configuration. We know we can use PowerEdge for hyper-convergence if we have PowerEdge and configure vSAN. We will be able to achieve what VxRail is being able to provide, but we need to migrate it to a new infrastructure instead of changing our existing. It will be much more difficult for us."
"I would like to see monitoring solutions included, as well as brand support."
"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."
"It could be enhanced by improving the built-in backup solution."
"The tool has shortcomings in its performance monitoring part."
"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."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The solution has a complicated front-end."
