We performed a comparison between Dell VxBlock System and IBM VersaStack based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Converged Infrastructure."Good flexibility and speed."
"Integration with VMware and VMotion definitely brings a lot of value."
"Good default features."
"In comparison to traditional file load systems, Dell VxBlock System can be deployed quickly and results in monthly cost savings."
"VxBlock has good performance, so that is an advantage."
"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."
"With a converged infrastructure, it's easy to troubleshoot from network to server issues from a single point of reference."
"The solution has high IOPS and the I/O is important because it gives us more transactions per second."
"The combination of Cisco's architecture and IBM's flash technology. Cisco provides FI technology which provides one simple architecture. IBM's flash technology is fast."
"Replication and DR implementation became faster."
"Scalability is an area that needs to be improved."
"The solution could use a clearer description of working methods to tell people more about its use cases."
"Lacks flexibility with third-party applications."
"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."
"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."
"Does not support different kinds of mixed applications."
"The consistency of disc quality could be improved."
"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 solution should improve deduplication to get a lot of savings."
"Raw data mapping for storage should be a given option."
