We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features of HPE ConvergedSystem are scalability and resilience.""The solution's technical support was good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""Most of the HP products I come across are they are easy to install. That's not very complex.""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.""This solution is very simple to use.""Consolidation and duplications features.""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 find the deduplication and compression features to be most valuable, as well as that of the backup solution inside."

"The automation and provisioning of the environment, as well as the centralized monitoring, have all improved over the years.""Exalogic offers integration with other engineered systems, which increases the throughput capability and enables processing of bigger and heavier workloads.""Provides high-speed network, strong storage features (ZFS), High Availability out of the box, and is Integrated with a large number of products.""The main benefit of using the solution is for the performance it provides.""Enterprise high-speed interoperability: With IPoIB we can deliver to other environments, either IP-Ethernet-based or IP-InfiniBand-based protocol, both with minimum bandwidth capacity of 10Gbps, 20Gbps, or 40Gbps, redundantly.""Server consolidation. In a cloud architecture, moving the HA VM from one to other is faster. This is because of the InfiniBand network fabric between the compute nodes and storage nodes (ZFS Storage).""Scalablility: When we need to upgrade from an eighth-rack to a full-rack, the real downtime is less then an hour."

Cons
"This is an expensive solution.""There is some scope for improvement in support. The response time could be better.""It could be enhanced by improving the built-in backup solution.""The solution has a complicated front-end.""The tool has shortcomings in its performance monitoring part.""Perhaps they can work on providing faster allocation of memory or storage.""The interface is not fully integrated with the ESXi, which is something that could be improved.""The MTG inside HP could be improved."

More HPE ConvergedSystem Cons →

"The solution needs to add a network virtualization feature similar to that of VxRail. If they could implement that, it would be great for the product.""Middleware application services, such as statistics, data mining, could be better.""The solution is prone to disk failures. This needs to improve. Over the past four years we've had to replace about six of them. They've failed almost every three to six months."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is good. We have not calculated what hyper-converged infrastructure has brought us but I think there has to be some lower cost for us, compared to the public cloud. Obviously, there would be a lower cost, probably by more than half."
  • "This is an expensive system and not every customer has the kind of budget to support it."
  • "The pricing is sensitive."
  • "This is an expensive solution."
  • "My company has a five year contract for HPE ConvergedSystem. The contracts depend on companies and sometimes it can be three years. The solution is worth its price."
  • "There are some extra costs in addition to the licensing costs for the yearly maintenance from professional third-party services."
  • "The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
  • "The pricing is competitive. Not a major problem. We have a subscription model."
  • More HPE ConvergedSystem Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Get the price of the license you will need for the middleware that will be running on top of the Exalogic. Otherwise, you can use another middleware solution, as long as it can run on top of Oracle Linux."
  • "Pricing and licensing are two very delicate aspects when talking about Oracle, especially engineered systems. The prices are quite high compared with other similar products, so the CapEx analysis and investment return have to be very well studied."
  • "To expand the hardware's capability requires a massive investment."
