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."Good default features."
"It's a highly optimized piece of equipment that doesn't give us any problems."
"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."
"Its performance is very good."
"VxBlock has good performance, so that is an advantage."
"Integration with VMware and VMotion definitely brings a lot of value."
"Virtual machines for the infrastructure."
"In comparison to traditional file load systems, Dell VxBlock System can be deployed quickly and results in monthly cost savings."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to restore lost machines. Essentially its high availability capabilities are extremely valuable to us."
"Most of the HP products I come across are they are easy to install. That's not very complex."
"We find the deduplication and compression features to be most valuable, as well as that of the backup solution inside."
"This solution is very simple to use."
"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."
"The solution's technical support was good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"We use the solution for DDI."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the flexibility and the availability of the machines."
"The solution could use a clearer description of working methods to tell people more about its use cases."
"It's a good product but the price could be lowered. It's expensive."
"Scalability is an area that needs to be improved."
"Lacks flexibility with third-party applications."
"Does not support different kinds of mixed applications."
"This solution does not support Hyper-V, and we would like the new version to be supported and certified to work with Hyper-V."
"The consistency of disc quality could be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see monitoring solutions included, as well as brand support."
"The solution has a complicated front-end."
"The interface is not fully integrated with the ESXi, which is something that could be improved."
"The solution needs to add NFS features."
"Pricing is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"It could be enhanced by improving the built-in backup solution."
"The tool has shortcomings in its performance monitoring part."
"I would like to see better manageability and integration with third-party tools."
