We performed a comparison between HPE Apollo and PowerEdge C based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Density Optimized Servers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We usually use three blades for two-rack units, and with enough storage, it's really a small system with a powerful CPU, powerful hard drives, powerful disks."
"HPE Apollo's support is the most valuable feature."
"It's pretty flexible. You can choose how much storage you put on the server. You can have one to three nodes, depending on whether you want more CPU or storage."
"It's going to meet our needs moving forward, it is scalable."
"we can use the same platform for several use cases: Hadoop, Ceph, and we are considering the server for another use case right now. It's a single solution, we only have to integrate it once and we can use it for several technologies."
"HPE Apollo's pricing is low, and implementation is very easy compared to other products."
"The cost benefit of this solution is most valuable. It is quite effective for the work for which we are using it. We are mainly running video servers on these, and we are quite happy with the resilience, density storage, and streaming capacity of the system."
"With HPE Apollo, we can propose configurations with many hard drives, making it suitable for large storage needs."
"The solution provides good support and service."
"I have found the compression capability the most valuable feature."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Every new version is better than the previous one."
"The management platform is great."
"The hybrid solution is much more stable than other products."
"The security of the product is very good."
"The initial setup is not complex. It's a user-friendly tool."
"We are quite happy with it, but its price and storage density can be better."
"If there could be some training for our team, we would be better equipped to promote and support HPE Apollo."
"Lustre seems to be just a little bit unstable overall."
"HPE Apollo's after-sales support and technical support should be improved."
"What's coming out in Gen 10 is very strong in terms of additional security."
"There is a shared battery for all cache controllers in the node. When you have to replace that element, you have to take down all three nodes and not just one."
"The solution's deployment, security, and scalability need improvement."
"We would like to see SimpliVity on top of the Apollo."
"The product’s pricing could be a little cheaper."
"There has been an increase in quality issues."
"It would be better if the solution provided simplified storage and hardware with an integrated one-tier architecture."
"It would be easier if data center management and disaster recovery were combined."
"The reliability needs improvement."
"It would be better if it worked with SMTP servers on the cloud. Right now, it only allows notifications via the SMTP server. In the next release, I would like to have a better processor."
"An area where the product lacks and needs to consider improvement is by allowing it to integrate with some AI tool for monitoring."
"The solution’s pricing could be cheaper."
