VxRail Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
computer scientist at Imam University3.5I've used VxRail for general VMware-based services due to its simplicity, stability, and single support line, though it lacks external vCenter support and has scalability limits, making it best suited for medium-sized workloads.
Principal Consultant at Sycor GmbH4.0We use VxRail for virtualization services as a Broadcom Cloud Service Provider, valuing its easy update mechanism and support for VMware and hardware management from a single source. Improving update stability would enhance its effectiveness.
Technical architect at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees4.5I use VxRail to manage centralized resources efficiently with VxRail Manager and vSAN integration. The automated upgrade process is invaluable, but improvements are needed in the razoring process, which should be accessible to experienced customers. Previously, I used Quest NetVault Plus.
Data Center Solution Manager at a computer software company with 51-200 employees4.0I initially worked with VxRail implementation and support, eventually leading a team handling Dell solutions. VxRail's ease of management and VMware integration stand out, though upgrades demand a clean environment. Nutanix is a key competitor in the market.
AG at SIS.4.5We use VxRail for virtualization and appreciate its seamless VMware integration and caching mechanism that boosts performance. While there's a learning curve and a need for OS-level encryption, it significantly increases uptime and ROI compared to alternatives like Azure Stack HCI.
Senior Systems Engineer at MultiChoice Group4.0We use VxRail for hardware consolidation and running compute and database workloads. Support issues are resolved quickly through a single line. We switched from traditional servers in 2018 due to VxRail's cost-effectiveness and scalability advantages. Licensing improvements are needed.
Head Of Information Technology at Islamia Eye Hospital4.0We use VxRail as an HCI in our organization, specifically in our DBC environment. It simplifies operations by integrating network, storage, and computing tools. The integrated management is excellent, though we're concerned about support changes after Broadcom's acquisition of VMware.
Presales + Solution Architect at a tech services company with 11-50 employees4.0I’ve found VxRail to be a scalable and mature HCI solution suited for mid-size to enterprise customers, though licensing costs could improve; its integration with NVMe and strong local support make it a solid choice overall.
