Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series [EOL] Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
IT Manager - Resp.Department at Parvalorem4.5We are a state-affiliated financial company using Cisco HyperFlex HX hosts for on-premises operations. The solution provided excellent performance and ROI, but upgrading is costly. With its end-of-life in 2024, we'll likely shift to a cloud solution.
Assistant VP, Information Technology at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees3.5I primarily use Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series for development and testing. I appreciate its database and deduplication features, but the need for numerous nodes is cumbersome. Improvements in architecture and better integration capabilities would enhance efficiency and manageability.
Asst. Manager IT at APM Terminals, Inc.3.0I use Cisco HyperFlex for our terminal OS. It's stable and scalable, but initial setup is lengthy due to prerequisites, and infrastructure is costly. I'm still evaluating its recurring costs and can only give it a 6/10.
Assistant Manager at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees4.0I found Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series offers excellent, robust integration for my software-defined data center. While setup was difficult and support slow, its stability and scalability are good, and ROI positive. I rate it 8/10.
Senior Deputy Director of IT at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees4.0As a Deputy Operative Director of IT, I've found Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series offers excellent data protection, uptime, and scalability. It outperformed others during evaluations. However, resource optimization, integration with HPE, and documentation improvements are needed. It delivers solid ROI.
Presales Solutions Architect at Intracom Telecom4.0I reviewed Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series, used for enterprise-grade applications. It's valued for being easy to start as a one-stop solution. However, with no existence now and lacking cloud integrations, its discontinuation is understandable.
IT Enterprise System Administrator at Nafeza4.0I find HX stable, scalable, and excellent for our 24/7 critical service, with robust data replication and good ROI. Setup is straightforward. I do, however, need more CLI documentation and best practice guidance for better self-sufficiency.
Manager, Core Engineering at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees4.0I use HyperFlex for website services, appreciating its all-in-one solution and responsive support. However, its initial setup is complex, and scalability is an issue, especially for large-scale deployments, where storage expansion can be cumbersome and costly.
