Easy to setup, reliable, and the virtualization is good
There is a different product that we would like to explore from Dell. The project that we are currently working on requires us to replace all PowerEdge with VxRail. The depth of this solution is quite lengthy, and it's very deep. I understand that 1U is the smallest size, but the depth is quite lengthy. You can have a model that is still 1U and inside you will have a large motherboard for dual processors, and dual power supplies. It would be better to have a compact version of it for some customers that have a small office and don't require a proper data center with power or an industrial type HP.

Secure, easy to configure, and integrates well with third-party solutions
HPE ConvergedSystems doesn't upgrade as often as other solutions. For example, I have had to change the infrastructure several times for our customers who have SAP, they have gone from P4000 to P6000. We are currently migrating our customers to SAP S/4HANNA. Their infrastructure has a five-year lifespan. After five years, they need to change it. They now have a new CEO, CFO, and CIO, and the new customers want to try new things. Perhaps they will change the infrastructure. This firm has many customers with new CIOs and CDxOs, and they are considering changing their infrastructure. The infrastructure is better with what they currently have, but with new people, they want to look at other possibilities. I would like to see monitoring solutions included, as well as brand support. Customers' infrastructures must be supported at all times. In Colombia, for example, we meet many customers who have different brands, such as Dell, IBM, or HPE, which is either their headquarters or a branch. However, each branch has a single point of contact and a single support provider. The customer prefers to deal with only one branch and one support representative. I recommend that HPE provide support for various brands and Dell products.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Dell PowerEdge VRTX supports a lot of memory which has allowed us to keep our system size smaller."
"It is simple to use and it's user-friendly."
"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 system is very intuitive."
"The security is very good on the solution."
"We started off with a base because we started our infrastructure with Dell and we always propose or prefer Dell which is easier to manage the warranty than with different vendors."
"The most valuable feature is the combined management in one box."
"While I cannot say Dell is better than HP or IBM, Dell has a strong presence here in Qatar. We can recommend Dell because of that strategic factor."
More Dell PowerEdge VRTX pros
"Most of the HP products I come across are they are easy to install. That's not very complex."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
More HPE ConvergedSystem pros
 

Cons

"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."
"The storage can be improved."
"Dell PowerEdge VRTX can improve by providing support for M2 drives."
"We've had general issues related to the solution being difficult."
"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."
"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."
"VRTX is a bit simplified to the extent that it is a mainstream type of solution for small businesses. If a company needs a more complex solution or something that is a time saver or has more power or scalability, it is probably not the best solution. However, when a company grows and its needs grow, this type of environment can be definitely migrated towards a lab environment or pre-prod testing, not necessarily production. It can still have a second life for the other types of use."
"The scalability could be better."
More Dell PowerEdge VRTX cons
"The solution has a complicated front-end."
"The interface is not fully integrated with the ESXi, which is something that could be improved."
"HPE ConvergedSystem needs to improve its price."
"This is an expensive solution."
"I would like to see better manageability and integration with third-party tools."
"I would like to see monitoring solutions included, as well as brand support."
"There is some scope for improvement in support. The response time could be better."
"The solution needs to add NFS features."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is less expensive than competitors."
"This product is more reasonably-priced than similar solutions by HPE."
"We bought a license for seven years."
"The solution price of Dell PowerEdge VRTX could be reduced. However, when comparing the price of Dell PowerEdge VRTX to other solutions, such as HP and Lenovo, it was the best price for what they offer."
"Fully configured, it costs about $50,000 or $55,000. I did purchase a used one or refurbished one. I have been very happy with it so far. Even if it is an older unit, it doesn't look like its age, and I would say it has been a great choice so far for me. Obviously, I would have thought twice if I had to pay for a brand new one because it is still an older technology with the risk of being discontinued. I talked to Dell, and they're still selling it, but they're not promoting it. They're promoting another line of products right now for hyper-converged, which are much more expensive."
"On the scale of pricing, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I would rate it as a three. I am familiar with the overall cost, which involves licenses from Dell and VMware, among others, making it a combination of various license types."
"We are renewing the support and we are purchasing the license for the software."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"The pricing is sensitive."
"The pricing is competitive. Not a major problem. We have a subscription model."
"Pricing is good. We have not calculated what hyper-converged infrastructure has brought us but I think there has to be some lower cost for us, compared to the public cloud. Obviously, there would be a lower cost, probably by more than half."
"My company has a five year contract for HPE ConvergedSystem. The contracts depend on companies and sometimes it can be three years. The solution is worth its price."
"This is an expensive solution."
"I rate the product price an eight and a half on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"This is an expensive system and not every customer has the kind of budget to support it."
