Dell EMC vSAN Ready Nodes is hardware and VMware software combined. What I think is going to be added in the future is more VMware enhancement. VMware will be able to build software or to add to the VxRail, all the possibilities of the VxRail. VxRail will not be improved in a way, or rather in a different way. Dell EMC vSAN Ready Nodes will be similar to VxRail. Anyone who has knowledge about VMware, can implement it and know their way around it. Whenever you need any support related to the Ready Nodes, you have to go back to VMware. Dell EMC vSAN Ready Nodes software is based on VMware, totally based on VMware. Nothing from Dell EMC has been added to the Ready Nodes besides some tuning for the software to be implemented to the Dell hardware. When we want to compare Dell EMC vSAN Ready Nodes to VxRail, VxRail many features have been added from Dell EMC. I would recommend Dell VxRail much more than Dell EMC vSAN Ready Nodes. I rate Dell EMC vSAN Ready Nodes a seven out of ten.

Valuable Features

"The tool's most valuable features are compression and its usage in Kubernetes."
"If I consider the overall product, I would say that it is an excellent solution that offers very good performance and stability."
"The tool's most valuable feature is high availability."

Room for Improvement

"Dell vSAN Ready Nodes doesn't perform as well as IBM. There are significant limitations, especially with scalability and flexibility over time. For example, adding drives can be problematic if the specific drives aren't available with older nodes that are four or five years old. Unlike IBM, Dell vSAN Ready Nodes isn't as flexible and doesn't scale easily. Additionally, while present, features like deduplication and compression don't perform as efficiently as they do on IBM. Our experience shows that the tool isn't as robust or flexible as advertised."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required. The price of Dell vSAN Ready Nodes could be lowered."
"Dell vSAN Ready Nodes' deployment is complex."

Pricing

"The solution is more expensive than a traditional array. The prices are skyrocketing."
"My company makes yearly payments towards the licensing charges attached to the solution. The solution is expensive."
"The tool's pricing is competitive compared to others. The tool's licensing is based on annual subscriptions."
