Pros
"Vscale's scalability is super good. Vscale's scalability, manageability, and performance are all three areas that I emphasize when I sell Vscale Architectures to the customer."

More Dell Vscale Architecture Pros →

There is a very easy step-by-step configuration procedure that guides you through, and you can configure it very easily.""Huawei FusionStorage does well in its basic functions and offers broad utility.""Provides easy access to our data."

More Huawei FusionStorage Pros →

"Finding a fully bundled, deployed, and configured solution with a short delivery time and unique support is really attractive.""Capability for scale and growth within a single rack brings strong possibilities for capacity planning.""Some of the key features are the ease of operation and access, without constraining actions.

More Vblock [EOL] Pros →

Cons
"In terms of what could be improved, I particularly think the scope of automation is very much limited. So they should introduce some more STK's and API's for automation first thing."

More Dell Vscale Architecture Cons →

"The initial setup and installation is not that straightforward. It should be made easier and the time to install should be reduced.""Their cloud services could be improved.""I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance.""The product needs improvement in terms of affordability."

More Huawei FusionStorage Cons →

"The implementation and support could be better.""In the next release, I would like to see a smaller footprint in the data center and have improvements to disk performance.""While most public clouds are deployed on Linux, there is current no certified Vblock working on KVM hypervisors.""RCM upgrades were not scripted, and you needed to roll on your own. We were led to believe this would be otherwise.""It needs more customer/client involvement in back-end management.""Troublesome relationships with VCE at the beginning of our use came undone quickly after we went live.""I would like to see them improve their switching infrastructure and rely on Cisco configurations. They are a bit more complex and technical, but result in a slightly reduced cost in terms of switching on the network side of it.""OEM services requires too much planning and low availability of certified engineers."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "It is expensive but might be optimal based on the partnership."
  • More Huawei FusionStorage Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Strive for a consolidated ELA."
  • "Related to tech support: I believe it is too expensive."
  • "I would not say the pricing is not good value. It is still on the expensive side, near the top-end of cost compared to what's available now. Also, the licensing has to be improved. There has to be a clear definition of the licensing from the initial set-up so the customer knows what they are paying for, without being hit later on with extra licensing. The licensing definitions should be clearer and, perhaps, have one set of licenses rather than multiple licenses."
  • "It is not cheap."
  • "Vblock appears from the first while to be very expensive. There are more items you cannot see in the BOQ: customer service, support, delivery short time, and highly experienced VCE engineers."
  • "I think the pricing is on the higher end of the spectrum. There could be some adjustments that could be made there. Regarding licensing, watch compatibility with external products that you run on Vblock. It has got to be properly architected, otherwise, you will run into licensing issues."
  • "The paid support for Vblock is expensive."
  • "Vblock is priced at a premium because people don't want the headache of managing and deploying different products."
