We performed a comparison between Dell PowerEdge VRTX and Vblock [EOL] 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."The solution is stable."
"We were satisfied after we upgraded to a professional next-day on-site support."
"The online UA is very good in comparison to others."
"The most valuable feature is the combined management in one box."
"It is simple to use and it's user-friendly."
"With Dell PowerEdge VRTX, there are fewer points, and it is easier to troubleshoot and find your way around it."
"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."
"We now find that the solution is quite stable."
"The high redundancy of components has minimized frequent service degradation/failure."
"The XtremIO All-Flash array delivers performance, reliability, and deduplication."
"The most valuable feature is that it is centrally managed, as it is quite easy for our customers to manage everything, end-to-end."
"UCS Manager worked well for net/blade management and has allowed fairly easy use of dedicated bare-metal blades."
"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. The tool is available to actually move things around, do things quickly quickly."
"We have seen measurable increases in our system performance. Those increases have been directly measurable in application performance and the delivery of critical business information to our users."
"Systems run solidly."
"Management of storage and networking is web-based, slow, and difficult."
"When we first started with this product, we had some difficulty with it."
"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 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."
"We've had general issues related to the solution being difficult."
"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."
"The licensing can be difficult to understand."
"The support must be improved."
"The integration with other vendors' products needs to be looked at. It's not as flexible as we would like it to be."
"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."
"While most public clouds are deployed on Linux, there is current no certified Vblock working on KVM hypervisors."
"Tighter alignment could simplify and speed up the configuration and delivery process."
"RCM upgrades were not scripted, and you needed to roll on your own. We were led to believe this would be otherwise."
"VCE tools, like Vision or AMP were not stand alone, and depended too much on other management consoles."
"RCM upgrades are painful."
