We performed a comparison between Dell VxBlock System and HPE ConvergedSystem based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Converged Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Its performance is very good."
"The monitoring and management parts are the most valuable. Monitoring is specifically valuable because you have one console to monitor everything. This console is called Vision."
"It's a highly optimized piece of equipment that doesn't give us any problems."
"VxBlock has good performance, so that is an advantage."
"It's at least 99 percent problem-free because it's factory-built. So from an informational point of view, everyone trusts that VxBlock has been tested well at the factory and has been configured to their requirements."
"In comparison to traditional file load systems, Dell VxBlock System can be deployed quickly and results in monthly cost savings."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the speed."
"Good default features."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the flexibility and the availability of the machines."
"We use the solution for DDI."
"Most of the HP products I come across are they are easy to install. That's not very complex."
"The solution's technical support was good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"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."
"Consolidation and duplications features."
"This solution is very simple to use."
"It's a good product but the price could be lowered. It's expensive."
"The only thing that I can say is when you procure the VxBlock, obviously you have to complete detailed questionnaires about your architecture including the configuration, et cetera. If you make a mistake on the implementation, then you need to rebuild the entire VxBlock. That is just a point of consideration rather than a flaw. You need to be absolutely sure and validate the upfront configuration information that you provide because your VxBlock comes delivered and built, according to that exact information."
"There are components of VxBlock that are not managed or supported by Dell because some of the components are from Cisco. Thus, when there are problems with compute nodes, though Dell was managing the interaction, we had to rely on Cisco to solve the issue. When Cisco was not responding as quickly as Dell would for their components, it made it difficult for us because we needed to have the failed nodes back up and running. As such, the disparate ownership of components in the equipment is an issue."
"This solution does not support Hyper-V, and we would like the new version to be supported and certified to work with Hyper-V."
"Does not support different kinds of mixed applications."
"The consistency of disc quality could be improved."
"The solution could use a clearer description of working methods to tell people more about its use cases."
"The hardware lifecycle is not documented very well. For example, now you can buy a piece of equipment, but you don't know if the hardware is going to be a team production next month or next year."
"Perhaps they can work on providing faster allocation of memory or storage."
"I would like to see better manageability and integration with third-party tools."
"It could be enhanced by improving the built-in backup solution."
"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."
"The solution has a complicated front-end."
"There is some scope for improvement in support. The response time could be better."
"Features that should be addressed concern the HPE functionality and the interaction with VMware."
"This is an expensive solution."
