When it comes to troubleshooting, every product exhibits a similar kind of behavior. The first point is that the customer must be aware of the issue. If they do not fix the issue within a few days, the customer's environment may get screwed up again. I rate Dell VPLEX a five out of ten.
I rate Dell VPLEX seven out of 10. VPLEX is a good solution for migration, application mobility, and replication. I recommend VPLEX if you need to set up disaster recovery across multiple sites. You don't need VPLEX if you aren't doing this. If you don't have DR, if your business is not running or multiple sites, then I think the VPLEX is not required. VPLEX has drawbacks. For example, the command line interface is complicated and difficult for new engineers to learn. If you're a beginner who can't use the CLI, you must rely on the GUI, which uses Flash Player. Most customers don't have Flash installed, so they may need to buy additional licenses. VPLEX's engine-based architecture is complex, so the implementation is challenging and takes more time. It's also difficult to fix hardware issues. When an appliance fails, it takes Dell EMC a long time to fix it because spare parts are in short supply.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Dell EMC VPLEX a rating of eight. Due to the bug with Broadcom, we have had a massive crisis on VPLEX. This little bug has caused roughly one thousand machines to go down. For this reason, I can't give it a higher rating.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this solution is to use HCI. It has more features than the traditional approach, the administration is easier, and the performance is better. Troubleshooting something that is all-in-one will also be easier. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
Wth EMC VPLEX you can deploy next-generation virtualization architecture to enable simultaneous information access within, between, and across data centers, move applications, virtual machines, and data in and between data centers without impacting users and deliver application and data availability within the data center and over distance with full infrastructure utilization and zero downtime.
