Quotes From Members

Pros
"This is a scalable solution. Our customers begin with an initial configuration and later add more servers, memory and other options to meet the demands of increased processing.""Most of the HP products I come across are they are easy to install. That's not very complex.""This solution is very simple to use.""We find the deduplication and compression features to be most valuable, as well as that of the backup solution inside.""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 most valuable feature is its ability to restore lost machines. Essentially its high availability capabilities are extremely valuable to us."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is good. We have not calculated what hyper-converged infrastructure has brought us but I think there has to be some lower cost for us, compared to the public cloud. Obviously, there would be a lower cost, probably by more than half."
  • "This is an expensive system and not every customer has the kind of budget to support it."
  • "The pricing is sensitive."
  • "This is an expensive solution."
  • "My company has a five year contract for HPE ConvergedSystem. The contracts depend on companies and sometimes it can be three years. The solution is worth its price."
  • "There are some extra costs in addition to the licensing costs for the yearly maintenance from professional third-party services."
  • "The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
  • "The pricing is competitive. Not a major problem. We have a subscription model."

  • "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."
