We performed a comparison between HPE ConvergedSystem and VxRail 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."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."
"We use the solution for DDI."
"We find the deduplication and compression features to be most valuable, as well as that of the backup solution inside."
"The most valuable features of HPE ConvergedSystem are scalability and resilience."
"Most of the HP products I come across are they are easy to install. That's not very complex."
"The tool's most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the flexibility and the availability of the machines."
"The storage, BladeSystems, Virtual Connect, and simplicity with hyper-converged solutions are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The solution has simplified our operations."
"Being able to perform upgrades and check the system through the VxRail Manager has been very helpful."
"The major advantage is the blueprint. You do not need to separately manage the sand or network part because it all gets virtualized."
"VxRail does not require fiber switches or external storage. It's easy to replace and manage. It's centralized management through VxRail Manager."
"The updating of the features was one aspect of the solution that made us decide to use it."
"This solution optimizes our clients' resources."
"This product has given us clear visibility into what we need technology-wise to grow."
"There is no in-depth config involved nor third-party needed, saving us time and money."
"Pricing is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The solution needs to add NFS features."
"The solution has a complicated front-end."
"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."
"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 implementation of a VxRail, it's straightforward, but the ongoing utilization, and integration, are where it can start to become difficult if you're not used to doing it."
"There is a limitation on the number of nodes."
"Right now, it's difficult for a non-technical person to participate in using the product. It could be made more consumer-friendly."
"VxRail is a closed system with an out-of-the -box solution approach, it has basic 3 layers, Hardware, Network, Storage, Software, (Virtualizing) Applications. Release notes and improvement tips, patches from the back office, the business units, should be frequent and up to the patches which are coming from different vendors as far as the operating system application and also the technology itself is concerned."
"We would like to see integrating with Nutanix. Currently, we are working on integrating the two to see if there is any value in doing so."
"It's not really flexible with different use cases."
"The agility of the support team to provide you with better solutions should be improved. VxRail also has to be improved in terms of simplicity. Adding a simple node seemed like quite a project."
"The only issue which is every now and again is that when you log in it will tell you that there's an issue with VxRail when there actually isn't. All that's required is a refresh or reload. The solution itself works but you may get some bad reports every now and again. Probably once every couple of months; there is no effect to the solution's capabilities."
