We performed a comparison between HPE ConvergedSystem, IBM PurePower System, and Oracle SuperCluster based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Converged Infrastructure.
"The user interface, reporting, and management are good, and we are quite happy with the performance."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the flexibility and the availability of the machines."
"Consolidation and duplications features."
"The most valuable features of HPE ConvergedSystem are scalability and resilience."
"We use the solution for DDI."
"The tool's most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"This solution is very simple to use."
"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."
"We never have any issues or glitches."
"SuperCluster is basically a combination of Oracle, with Exadata and Compute node features, so it is a computing cluster that is integrated in a single infrastructure such that we don't need a separate solution for the application database, the data storage database, and everything else the application needs."
"A valuable feature is the Exadata Storage appliance, optimized for database queries."
"Because it's classified as an engineered system, it's all integrated, it's all supported by one vendor. We don't have to go to multiple vendors for support, it's all integrated under Oracle."
"Unix is not as easy for the users, it needs more maintenance and costs extra."
"Our primary use case is for E-Business Suite applications the applications for the government, and most of the applications that use an HCM."
"Scalability and technical support."
"Because SuperCluster is a specially engineered system, we have confidence in that all the components are compatible with one another. Everything runs together as a well-coupled group of machines, and the performance is great (especially the memory)."
"The two features that I find to be the most valuable are high availability and high performance."
"The solution has a complicated front-end."
"HPE ConvergedSystem needs to improve its price."
"Features that should be addressed concern the HPE functionality and the interaction with VMware."
"Pricing is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"The solution needs to add NFS features."
"The MTG inside HP could be improved."
"There is some scope for improvement in support. The response time could be better."
"I would like to see monitoring solutions included, as well as brand support."
"The management is really difficult when it comes to systems with traditional services."
"It's not working as we expected. We thought it would be fast and reliable but we are not getting the reliability. It's not stable."
"If they had an application that centralized the administration, not about the monitoring, but for the configuration, it would be better."
"A major issue for us is that after the most recent update of SuperCluster, they have now stopped all future production of new versions. That is to say, after M7 there was M8, and now there are no future versions planned (e.g. M9) in the market."
"We have faced network connectivity issues."
"I would like to see control domain and zone management via a management console, similar to that of OVM."
"There are many areas for improvement. For example, better guidance in terms of troubleshooting issues relating to ZFS, as well as better tools/diagnostics for monitoring that specific component, to better identify potential issues. Hardware monitoring via OEM 13.2 is not 100 percent, as Ops Center is still required in some instances."
"Not a very user friendly solution."
"They may have made some improvements but based on the version that I am using, it is a little complicated because it is based on the Unix Operating system."
