Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Converged Infrastructure."Most of the HP products I come across are they are easy to install. That's not very complex."
"The most valuable features of HPE ConvergedSystem are scalability and resilience."
"The tool's most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"We use the solution for DDI."
"The flexibility is the most advantageous aspect of the solution. Our system has a very big environment. Due to this, the replication and backup operation is not an easy task. We prefer HPE SimpliVity modules in our environment, even when we have some different cases in operations."
"The solution's technical support was good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The storage, BladeSystems, Virtual Connect, and simplicity with hyper-converged solutions are the most valuable features of this solution."
"We find the deduplication and compression features to be most valuable, as well as that of the backup solution inside."
"Data is stored in two different places, leveraging more security and availability. Therefore, network problems are having less affect on iSCSI."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any issues with glitches or bugs."
"It appears to be very stable and very robust."
"Thin provisioning lets us get the most value from the hard drives."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it is hardware independent."
"I guess on the top of the list is certainly ease of use."
"The seamlessness behind the scenes of block management."
"he interface and the installation makes it easy as it's all in one piece of hardware and it doesn't need to be connected to anything else."
"Features that should be addressed concern the HPE functionality and the interaction with VMware."
"I would like to see better manageability and integration with third-party tools."
"The interface is not fully integrated with the ESXi, which is something that could be improved."
"The tool has shortcomings in its performance monitoring part."
"Perhaps they can work on providing faster allocation of memory or storage."
"I would like to see monitoring solutions included, as well as brand support."
"Pricing is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Hardware and disk failures are happening frequently."
"it would nice to have deduplication or compression, things that you have in some of the higher end products."
"One of the areas that need improvement is the consolidated management platform, to manage all of the nodes from one place and the licensing around that."
"The product is coming to end-of-life in the next three years."
"Product looks like it is in the end of development."
"f you're doing the 10Gb adapters, SFPs don't come with it, but it doesn't say that. It might say that somewhere else, but it's not clear."
"User interface could be improved."
"It is a costly solution."
