We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Cons
"The nodes should be synced with the server so that the solution can be used from the cloud when any or all nodes are down.""I'd like to be able to increase capacity.""The support must be improved.""It would be better to have a compact version of this solution for customers that have a small office and don't require a proper data center with power or an industrial type HP.""Dell PowerEdge VRTX can improve by providing support for M2 drives.""When we first started with this product, we had some difficulty with it.""The problem is with our configuration. We know we can use PowerEdge for hyper-convergence if we have PowerEdge and configure vSAN. We will be able to achieve what VxRail is being able to provide, but we need to migrate it to a new infrastructure instead of changing our existing. It will be much more difficult for us.""The scalability is limited with one chassis and the amount of storage it will give you, but it is mainly used for small offices."

"Patching processing takes a long time. Only one compute node is patched at a time.""The initial setup was very complex.""In comparison to competitors like VMware, there's a perceived need for Oracle to enhance OVM, making it more flexible and user-friendly.""OVM Manager Interface is using HTML5. It should be reconverted to be a Java interface."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We are renewing the support and we are purchasing the license for the software."
  • "This product is more reasonably-priced than similar solutions by HPE."
  • "Fully configured, it costs about $50,000 or $55,000. I did purchase a used one or refurbished one. I have been very happy with it so far. Even if it is an older unit, it doesn't look like its age, and I would say it has been a great choice so far for me. Obviously, I would have thought twice if I had to pay for a brand new one because it is still an older technology with the risk of being discontinued. I talked to Dell, and they're still selling it, but they're not promoting it. They're promoting another line of products right now for hyper-converged, which are much more expensive."
  • "The solution price of Dell PowerEdge VRTX could be reduced. However, when comparing the price of Dell PowerEdge VRTX to other solutions, such as HP and Lenovo, it was the best price for what they offer."
  • "We bought a license for seven years."
  • "The solution is less expensive than competitors."
  • "On the scale of pricing, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I would rate it as a three. I am familiar with the overall cost, which involves licenses from Dell and VMware, among others, making it a combination of various license types."

  • "If you have many Oracle products, such as databases, middleware, and apps, it will help you reduce Oracle app licences and support costs."
  • "No licenses for the shipped software or firmware."
  • "It is more expensive than the normal solution or the hyper-converged system."
  • "It is relatively cost-effective."
