"This solution is very simple to use."
"The tool's most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"The storage, BladeSystems, Virtual Connect, and simplicity with hyper-converged solutions are the most valuable features of this solution."
"We find the deduplication and compression features to be most valuable, as well as that of the backup solution inside."
"The user interface, reporting, and management are good, and we are quite happy with the performance."
"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."
"The rate of compression for the data in SimpliVity is the most valuable feature."
"The configuration capabilities are good."
"The solution's simplicity is its most valuable feature. The usability is also good."
"What I like about SimpliVity is the brand value of HP. I also like the data compression ratio, which is around more than 75% data compression ratio. HP's support and the ease of working with SimpliVity are also valuable features."
"The feature that I like the most is the backup feature embedded inside the HPE SimpliVity. When we have any activity, within five minutes, we have a backup. It also has PDR for performing disaster recovery."
"It has lessened our burden on multiple different products, so they are under one umbrella. This has been economically good."
"As a point for optimization on our infrastructure, it works great for us."
"The backup and recovery is very fast, effective, and easy to use."
"The solution needs to add NFS features."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The MTG inside HP could be improved."
"There is some scope for improvement in support. The response time could be better."
"Perhaps they can work on providing faster allocation of memory or storage."
"I would like to see monitoring solutions included, as well as brand support."
"I would like to see better manageability and integration with third-party tools."
"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."
"When we make some upgrades to the platform, it does take time to stabilize the structure again."
"Not being able to apply ESXi patches as needed has always been a concern, but it has not become a big issue."
"We had some hardware compatibility issues with the earlier versions of HPE SimpliVity. We upgraded to the latest version a few months ago, and since then, there is no hardware failure, and it is better. They don't provide a portal to create a ticket directly for the HPE SimpliVity. We have a web portal to create a ticket when we have an issue, but for HPE SimpliVity, we need to call the local vendor for support. If they are not able to resolve the issue, they contact the global support, which takes more time. Technology is moving very fast, and everybody nowadays is focusing on the cloud base. In the future, they should integrate it with the cloud base for the backup."
"The upgrades need improvement."
"There is room for improvement in that there is a need for so many Federation nodes. It would help if they increased that capacity so that we didn't have to have so much hardware in our secondary site."
"The technical, commercial, and marketing support is not at the level that it should be. They are not structured well. Other vendors provide better support, such as Dell."
"I have a free project with SimpliVity deployment in the next three months. What can be improved is that in one or two of these projects, I need a cloud backup for the infrastructure and data. As for the infrastructure of the product as it relates to customer size, it is not very good at this moment in Peru. I need a solution for the cloud. In Peru, it's a three or four solution provider for cloud services."
"The installation is quite easy but it could still be improved."
