We performed a comparison between HPE Apollo and PowerEdge C based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Density Optimized Servers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's pretty flexible. You can choose how much storage you put on the server. You can have one to three nodes, depending on whether you want more CPU or storage."
"HPE Apollo's support is the most valuable feature."
"It's going to meet our needs moving forward, it is scalable."
"We usually use three blades for two-rack units, and with enough storage, it's really a small system with a powerful CPU, powerful hard drives, powerful disks."
"HPE Apollo's pricing is low, and implementation is very easy compared to other products."
"Apollo Systems provide stuff that standard services do not. More HTDs, more compute power, at very reasonable pricing."
"With HPE Apollo, we can propose configurations with many hard drives, making it suitable for large storage needs."
"we can use the same platform for several use cases: Hadoop, Ceph, and we are considering the server for another use case right now. It's a single solution, we only have to integrate it once and we can use it for several technologies."
"It is a scalable platform."
"The product has high performance and no downtime."
"The security of the product is very good."
"I like the feature that allows for a backup and that is suitable for me."
"The performance is good."
"One of the main features that attract customers to buy their products is the great management tool and almost zero failure rate, making it easy to use."
"The scalability of the product is good since it offers high performance and capacity."
"Every new version is better than the previous one."
"We could, perhaps, use more GPUs in the future, go from eight to 16 GPUs per instance. That could run head-to-head against the DGX-1, the DGX-2 that NVIDIA has developed in their own chassis. That would be interesting to see."
"The technical support from HPE has always been good in my experience."
"The predictive analysis feature could be improved."
"What's coming out in Gen 10 is very strong in terms of additional security."
"If there could be some training for our team, we would be better equipped to promote and support HPE Apollo."
"There is a shared battery for all cache controllers in the node. When you have to replace that element, you have to take down all three nodes and not just one."
"HPE Apollo's after-sales support and technical support should be improved."
"We are quite happy with it, but its price and storage density can be better."
"The price must be improved."
"It should be improved in terms of future expansion. We should be able to have additional free slots for future extensions in terms of memory."
"The reliability needs improvement."
"A feature that needs to be added is the ability for full container storage."
"We had a few minor issues with compatibility on the latest version during the installation process."
"An area where the product lacks and needs to consider improvement is by allowing it to integrate with some AI tool for monitoring."
"There could be some more ports added in the future."
"The current memory could be improved."
