Trouble-free architecture, we don't have to juggle multiple components like in a traditional three-tier architecture

Pros

"VxRail's integration with VMware environments is very good. Our VxRail is built on VMware, and the integration is seamless. We haven't faced any challenges. We can migrate VMs between servers in real-time and replicate them to our DR site without any problems."

Cons

"It can be a bit complex for engineers who are new to it. There's a learning curve involved. They have to learn to operate it. "

Reliable, simplifies operations, and is easy to manage

Cons

"The support protocols have changed after Broadcom acquired VMware."

Provides real-time information and reduces physical footprint and maintenance

Pros

"The low latency and response times and having a virtualized environment within a single computer are valuable. I have no physical elements, and I can optimize or balance my data depending on the sales volume that I have in a specific store. "

Cons

"I would like to have a unified platform where I, for example, can manage my 50 stores from a single portal in VxRail and be able to apply all the updates at once. I want to unify them into a centralized console."

Easy to manage, easy to maintain, and provides a good return on investment

Pros

"When we have a resource contention, we can easily increase the capacity."

Cons

"The UI could be a little more informative."

Leaves small footprint on the data center and is simple

Pros

"One of VxRail's most valuable features is its small footprint in the data center. Additionally, the solution's simplicity is a significant advantage. You don’t have to configure or learn about storage software and administer many things separately. You can do all the administration jobs in one pane, bringing agility and simplicity. "

Cons

"There is an area for improvement with VxRail, specifically the upgrade process. Upgrading the is quite complex and almost exclusively requires Dell support. You can't do it alone, so you need to have support contracts running, which could be streamlined to improve the solution. "

Easy to deploy and manage with helpful support

Pros

"The ease of deployment and management of the solution are the most valuable aspects of the product."

Cons

"I would like to see more solutions for satellite capabilities where we can put it into smaller locations and still have the redundancy that we have with a larger cluster."

Product discussed: V570
Reasonably priced, simple installation, and is easy to manage

Pros

"The compute is good and we have not had any issues with the vSAN."

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see our graphical user interface allow us to manage VxRail clusters and everything on a single pane of glass where I can monitor and shut down the server, similar to a VxRail manager."
