Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Vscale's scalability is super good. Vscale's scalability, manageability, and performance are all three areas that I emphasize when I sell Vscale Architectures to the customer."

More Dell Vscale Architecture Pros →

"The high redundancy of components has minimized frequent service degradation/failure.""The most valuable features are reliability and high availability.""Capability for scale and growth within a single rack brings strong possibilities for capacity planning.""​We have seen measurable increases in our system performance. Those increases have been directly measurable in application performance and the delivery of critical business information to our users.​""Finding a fully bundled, deployed, and configured solution with a short delivery time and unique support is really attractive.""Some of the key features are the ease of operation and access, without constraining actions. The tool is available to actually move things around, do things quickly quickly.""​It has improved system performance, batch times for off-hours processing, and reliability with production applications.​""Systems run solidly."

Cons
"In terms of what could be improved, I particularly think the scope of automation is very much limited. So they should introduce some more STK's and API's for automation first thing."

More Dell Vscale Architecture Cons →

"Troublesome relationships with VCE at the beginning of our use came undone quickly after we went live.""VCE tools, like Vision or AMP were not stand alone, and depended too much on other management consoles.""I would like to see them improve their switching infrastructure and rely on Cisco configurations. They are a bit more complex and technical, but result in a slightly reduced cost in terms of switching on the network side of it.""Improve the patching process and timeliness of updates/releases.""The integration with other vendors' products needs to be looked at. It's not as flexible as we would like it to be.""RCM upgrades are painful.""OEM services requires too much planning and low availability of certified engineers.""The user control could be more advanced. They should work to improve this in future releases."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "Strive for a consolidated ELA."
  • "Related to tech support: I believe it is too expensive."
  • "I would not say the pricing is not good value. It is still on the expensive side, near the top-end of cost compared to what's available now. Also, the licensing has to be improved. There has to be a clear definition of the licensing from the initial set-up so the customer knows what they are paying for, without being hit later on with extra licensing. The licensing definitions should be clearer and, perhaps, have one set of licenses rather than multiple licenses."
  • "It is not cheap."
  • "Vblock appears from the first while to be very expensive. There are more items you cannot see in the BOQ: customer service, support, delivery short time, and highly experienced VCE engineers."
  • "I think the pricing is on the higher end of the spectrum. There could be some adjustments that could be made there. Regarding licensing, watch compatibility with external products that you run on Vblock. It has got to be properly architected, otherwise, you will run into licensing issues."
  • "The paid support for Vblock is expensive."
  • "Vblock is priced at a premium because people don't want the headache of managing and deploying different products."
