We performed a comparison between HPE ConvergedSystem, IBM PurePower System, and Oracle SuperCluster 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."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 solution's most valuable feature is its ability to restore lost machines. Essentially its high availability capabilities are extremely valuable to us."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the flexibility and the availability of the machines."
"The user interface, reporting, and management are good, and we are quite happy with the performance."
"We use the solution for DDI."
"This solution is very simple to use."
"The solution's technical support was good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"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 never have any issues or glitches."
"Our primary use case is for E-Business Suite applications the applications for the government, and most of the applications that use an HCM."
"SuperCluster is basically a combination of Oracle, with Exadata and Compute node features, so it is a computing cluster that is integrated in a single infrastructure such that we don't need a separate solution for the application database, the data storage database, and everything else the application needs."
"Because SuperCluster is a specially engineered system, we have confidence in that all the components are compatible with one another. Everything runs together as a well-coupled group of machines, and the performance is great (especially the memory)."
"The two features that I find to be the most valuable are high availability and high performance."
"Scalability and technical support."
"The performance is significantly improved, and the administration is easy because it is a single platform end-to-end."
"Unix is not as easy for the users, it needs more maintenance and costs extra."
"Because it's classified as an engineered system, it's all integrated, it's all supported by one vendor. We don't have to go to multiple vendors for support, it's all integrated under Oracle."
"The interface is not fully integrated with the ESXi, which is something that could be improved."
"I would like to see better manageability and integration with third-party tools."
"The MTG inside HP could be improved."
"The solution has a complicated front-end."
"HPE ConvergedSystem needs to improve its price."
"Pricing is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"The tool has shortcomings in its performance monitoring part."
"There is some scope for improvement in support. The response time could be better."
"The management is really difficult when it comes to systems with traditional services."
"They may have made some improvements but based on the version that I am using, it is a little complicated because it is based on the Unix Operating system."
"A major issue for us is that after the most recent update of SuperCluster, they have now stopped all future production of new versions. That is to say, after M7 there was M8, and now there are no future versions planned (e.g. M9) in the market."
"We have faced network connectivity issues."
"There are many areas for improvement. For example, better guidance in terms of troubleshooting issues relating to ZFS, as well as better tools/diagnostics for monitoring that specific component, to better identify potential issues. Hardware monitoring via OEM 13.2 is not 100 percent, as Ops Center is still required in some instances."
"I would like to see control domain and zone management via a management console, similar to that of OVM."
"It's not working as we expected. We thought it would be fast and reliable but we are not getting the reliability. It's not stable."
"If they had an application that centralized the administration, not about the monitoring, but for the configuration, it would be better."
"Speaking from a business perspective, our main problem is that our particular edition of SuperCluster is now at end-of-life status, making it obsolete and impossible to get support for. This presents a challenge for us, as finding a path to our next solution is not easy."
