We performed a comparison between Dell VxBlock System and HPE ConvergedSystem based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."In comparison to traditional file load systems, Dell VxBlock System can be deployed quickly and results in monthly cost savings."
"VxBlock has good performance, so that is an advantage."
"Good flexibility and speed."
"Integration with VMware and VMotion definitely brings a lot of value."
"With a converged infrastructure, it's easy to troubleshoot from network to server issues from a single point of reference."
"It's a highly optimized piece of equipment that doesn't give us any problems."
"Its performance is very good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the speed."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the flexibility and the availability of the machines."
"The solution's technical support was good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The storage, BladeSystems, Virtual Connect, and simplicity with hyper-converged solutions are the most valuable features of this solution."
"We use the solution for DDI."
"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 tool's most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"Most of the HP products I come across are they are easy to install. That's not very complex."
"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."
"This solution does not support Hyper-V, and we would like the new version to be supported and certified to work with Hyper-V."
"The consistency of disc quality could be improved."
"The only thing that I can say is when you procure the VxBlock, obviously you have to complete detailed questionnaires about your architecture including the configuration, et cetera. If you make a mistake on the implementation, then you need to rebuild the entire VxBlock. That is just a point of consideration rather than a flaw. You need to be absolutely sure and validate the upfront configuration information that you provide because your VxBlock comes delivered and built, according to that exact information."
"Does not support different kinds of mixed applications."
"We are finding it a bit challenging in terms of the management of a specific VxBlock component. Currently, we have different units as a part of the block storage. We have one for Cisco equipment and one for Dell. When we have an issue in the infrastructure, Dell EMC VxBlock System should automatically detect it and send a notification to VC support, but, unfortunately, it is doing that only for one unit. It is not working for Cisco components. We have informed them about this area of improvement, and they are working on this. The way different parts are integrated should be improved. We should have one console to log in to see all the infrastructure in terms of each machine and hardware."
"The hardware lifecycle is not documented very well. For example, now you can buy a piece of equipment, but you don't know if the hardware is going to be a team production next month or next year."
"Scalability is an area that needs to be improved."
"Lacks flexibility with third-party applications."
"The solution has a complicated front-end."
"The MTG inside HP could be improved."
"There is some scope for improvement in support. The response time could be better."
"Features that should be addressed concern the HPE functionality and the interaction with VMware."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Perhaps they can work on providing faster allocation of memory or storage."
"It could be enhanced by improving the built-in backup solution."
"The interface is not fully integrated with the ESXi, which is something that could be improved."
