| Solution Architect at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees | 3.5 | As a system integrator, I've worked with Dell VPLEX for years, finding it an expensive, enterprise-only solution with good support. While some implementations are tough, I rate it a seven out of ten. |
| Senior System Engineer at Unilab Systemhaus GmbH | 4.0 | I primarily use Dell VPLEX for VMware services to ensure constant online availability across two data centers. Its valuable mirroring feature allows seamless operations during a failure. However, advancements in Dell's PowerStore systems now integrate VPLEX's capabilities without extra hardware. |
| Sr. Storage And Backup Engineer at OMNIdata Trading, Lda. | 3.5 | Dell VPLEX effectively consolidates and virtualizes various storage types, enhancing availability and mobility through features like metro and geo-clustering. While powerful in replication, it needs a web-based management interface and better data encryption. |
| Sr Consultant at T-Systems ICT India Pvt. Ltd. | 4.5 | I find Dell VPLEX valuable for its replication and data mobility features, allowing seamless internal migration. However, performance report delays can be an issue, and cloud integration would be a significant improvement. VPLEX integrates well with diverse back-end storage systems. |
| Storage and Backups Manager at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees | 4.5 | I find VPLEX very reliable and effective for virtualization during migrations, giving it a 9/10. However, the cost is high, and I dislike needing to buy multiple separate products instead of an all-in-one solution. |
| Expert Stockage at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | We rely on Dell EMC VPLEX for core storage, valuing its migration and excellent support. While stable, a significant Broadcom bug caused a major outage, impacting our 8/10 rating, despite our favorable contract. |
| Information Technology Service Delivery Manager at Sat Microsystem | 2.5 | We use Dell VPLEX for backend connectivity and storage redundancy management. It requires improvement in integration, user interface, and configuration ease. The command-line dependence and high installation costs due to licensing are challenging, along with administrative issues like password management. |
| Governor at a government with 1,001-5,000 employees | 4.0 | I find EMC VPLEX stable with valuable deduplication and good support. However, administration is difficult, and I desire site-to-site replication. I recommend HCI for easier management and better features, rating it an 8/10 overall. |
