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."Consolidation and duplications features."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the flexibility and the availability of the machines."
"The tool's most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"The user interface, reporting, and management are good, and we are quite happy with the performance."
"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."
"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 most valuable features of HPE ConvergedSystem are scalability and resilience."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"We are very happy with the purchase, and it works well. It is fast. We went with the full-flash version, meaning that we have SSDs. So, we can build a Windows virtual machine in two minutes. We were surprised when we first tried to do that."
"VxRail's integration with VMware environments is very good. Our VxRail is built on VMware, and the integration is seamless. We haven't faced any challenges. We can migrate VMs between servers in real-time and replicate them to our DR site without any problems."
"First and foremost, I would advise people to purchase this solution mainly for the simplicity of the system. And it's all managed in one place, which is nice compared to Nutanix where you had to administrate multiple places. And, the support now is so good."
"It makes for easier deployments through automation and improved accessibility."
"Compared with other products, the IT administrator or IT integrator doesn't take much time to get the tool up and running."
"I would recommend VxRail, it works for most of the use cases."
"The technical support is very helpful and answers questions whenever we have issues with the product."
"I would like to see better manageability and integration with third-party tools."
"The solution has a complicated front-end."
"There is some scope for improvement in support. The response time could be better."
"HPE ConvergedSystem needs to improve its price."
"The interface is not fully integrated with the ESXi, which is something that 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."
"It could be enhanced by improving the built-in backup solution."
"Perhaps they can work on providing faster allocation of memory or storage."
"I would love to see license migration from one host to another."
"Next release, we would like to see online applications."
"They should have better compatibility with other processors, such as AMD processors."
"Its price could be better."
"There is a limitation on the number of nodes."
"The configurations of VxRail can be difficult. However, it has improved in the newer version. From version 6 to 7, there has been a lot of changes."
"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."
"There could be better documentation and they should allow everyone to access the simulator."
