We performed a comparison between Dell PowerEdge VRTX and HPE ConvergedSystem based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Converged Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."With Dell PowerEdge VRTX, there are fewer points, and it is easier to troubleshoot and find your way around it."
"Dell PowerEdge VRTX supports a lot of memory which has allowed us to keep our system size smaller."
"It's a good solution when you don't need a lot of IT."
"From a hardware perspective, it's interesting. The selling point of VRTX is that everything is built-in. For a small company that doesn't have a server room or the capabilities of hosting several servers, VRTX has four blades. The equivalent in regular server models would be four servers, which is a minimum of 4U, but it could easily be 8U, and then it would have storage. The storage is included inside the enclosure, and it would require a storage unit. It would also require connectivity, which would be ethernet or another protocol switch. From a software perspective, it's a little bit more integrated. You have an integrated way of managing the whole thing, including storage and networking. It has an internal network that can also be useful. I know for a fact that Dell is almost fazing out the product, and it is not that available anymore because it will just cannibalize their sales. They want to sell the more expensive stuff."
"The system is very intuitive."
"We now find that the solution is quite stable."
"It is pretty easy to install."
"The solution is stable."
"This solution is very simple to use."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the flexibility and the availability of the machines."
"The solution's technical support was good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The user interface, reporting, and management are good, and we are quite happy with the performance."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to restore lost machines. Essentially its high availability capabilities are extremely valuable to us."
"The most valuable features of HPE ConvergedSystem are scalability and resilience."
"Most of the HP products I come across are they are easy to install. That's not very complex."
"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."
"The scalability could be better."
"It would be better to have a compact version of this solution for customers that have a small office and don't require a proper data center with power or an industrial type HP."
"The nodes should be synced with the server so that the solution can be used from the cloud when any or all nodes are down."
"I'd like to be able to increase capacity."
"We've had general issues related to the solution being difficult."
"The support must be improved."
"Management of storage and networking is web-based, slow, and difficult."
"VRTX is a bit simplified to the extent that it is a mainstream type of solution for small businesses. If a company needs a more complex solution or something that is a time saver or has more power or scalability, it is probably not the best solution. However, when a company grows and its needs grow, this type of environment can be definitely migrated towards a lab environment or pre-prod testing, not necessarily production. It can still have a second life for the other types of use."
"Features that should be addressed concern the HPE functionality and the interaction with VMware."
"HPE ConvergedSystem needs to improve its management. I would like the tool to add cloud management features so that the system can be accessed anywhere from the cloud."
"The solution needs to add NFS features."
"The tool has shortcomings in its performance monitoring part."
"The solution has a complicated front-end."
"Perhaps they can work on providing faster allocation of memory or storage."
"I would like to see monitoring solutions included, as well as brand support."
"The interface is not fully integrated with the ESXi, which is something that could be improved."
