We performed a comparison between HPE ConvergedSystem and Oracle SuperCluster 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.
"The most valuable features of the solution are the flexibility and the availability of the machines."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to restore lost machines. Essentially its high availability capabilities are extremely valuable to us."
"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."
"Most of the HP products I come across are they are easy to install. That's not very complex."
"This solution is very simple to use."
"The tool's most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"The user interface, reporting, and management are good, and we are quite happy with the performance."
"Scalability and technical support."
"The performance is significantly improved, and the administration is easy because it is a single platform end-to-end."
"SuperCluster is basically a combination of Oracle, with Exadata and Compute node features, so it is a computing cluster that is integrated in a single infrastructure such that we don't need a separate solution for the application database, the data storage database, and everything else the application needs."
"A valuable feature is the Exadata Storage appliance, optimized for database queries."
"Because SuperCluster is a specially engineered system, we have confidence in that all the components are compatible with one another. Everything runs together as a well-coupled group of machines, and the performance is great (especially the memory)."
"The two features that I find to be the most valuable are high availability and high performance."
"Our primary use case is for E-Business Suite applications the applications for the government, and most of the applications that use an HCM."
"Because it's classified as an engineered system, it's all integrated, it's all supported by one vendor. We don't have to go to multiple vendors for support, it's all integrated under Oracle."
"I would like to see monitoring solutions included, as well as brand support."
"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."
"It could be enhanced by improving the built-in backup solution."
"The solution needs to add NFS features."
"There is some scope for improvement in support. The response time could be better."
"HPE ConvergedSystem needs to improve its price."
"I would like to see better manageability and integration with third-party tools."
"The interface is not fully integrated with the ESXi, which is something that could be improved."
"Speaking from a business perspective, our main problem is that our particular edition of SuperCluster is now at end-of-life status, making it obsolete and impossible to get support for. This presents a challenge for us, as finding a path to our next solution is not easy."
"I would like to see control domain and zone management via a management console, similar to that of OVM."
"If they had an application that centralized the administration, not about the monitoring, but for the configuration, it would be better."
"If it had capabilities to integrate really well with DB2 or SQL Server or Hitachi SANs, those sort of things, that would be a real benefit. Right now, it's fully supported only under all Oracle infrastructure."
"A major issue for us is that after the most recent update of SuperCluster, they have now stopped all future production of new versions. That is to say, after M7 there was M8, and now there are no future versions planned (e.g. M9) in the market."
"We have faced network connectivity issues."
"There are many areas for improvement. For example, better guidance in terms of troubleshooting issues relating to ZFS, as well as better tools/diagnostics for monitoring that specific component, to better identify potential issues. Hardware monitoring via OEM 13.2 is not 100 percent, as Ops Center is still required in some instances."
"It's not working as we expected. We thought it would be fast and reliable but we are not getting the reliability. It's not stable."
