Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series [EOL] Reviews

There should be the opportunity to create more than one div group. The solution has only a gigabyte boot device, boot drive of only 240 gigabytes, but 480 would be better. 

It is possible to create two or more div groups, for example: having two test drives and five capacity drives for each div group. 

I am not in a position to discuss the solution's stability, as I do not work too closely with Hyperflex.

I am not in a position to discuss technical support, as I do not work too closely with Hyperflex.

The price of the solution is good, especially when it comes to complex network solutions, such as UCS and Connect.

I rate Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series as an eight out of ten. 

We have hosted a few use cases. Windows developed an application that we hosted in the production environment and all SQL database servers. After that, we used HyperFlex HCI to host DNS and DCP servers as well as various IT-related production servers. 

HyperFlex's formatting features are easy to use.  It's a one-click operation. From an administrative perspective, the whole interface is seamless.

In the next release, Cisco should add more integration and management capabilities as well as some tweaks to the dashboard that make it more user-friendly. They could also add support for multiple hypervisors.

Performance-wise, everything is good. So far, we haven't had any issues. There has been no downtime at all.

For scalability, I would rate HyperFlex nine out of 10.

We've received good support throughout the implementation and afterward.

HyperFlex setup is very easy.

We used help from vendor support during the setup.

HyperFlex is a little pricey. 

Overall, I rate HyperFlex eight out of 10. I would recommend it to others. It's a good product.

The primary use case is that we are coming from a legacy data storage network and need more flexibility in both storage and network consumption.

HyperFlex give us a lot of features and functionalities which are key for us. This also applies to the storage.

It is scalable and easy to use.

We would like to move off the GUI.

The system runs. It has crashed. We haven't experienced any issues.

The scalability has been very good for us since we were stuck on our old platform with old drives and hardware. Hyperflex has given us flexibility where we can scale up and down, allowing our servers to react. We now can do large scales for data storage, which helps a lot.

I haven't used the technical support for this product.

We used a partner for the initial deployment who was keen and professional.

We considered Cisco HyperFlex and NetApp.

We chose Cisco because we are a Cisco partner. This way we receive the same scalability all around.

Just go with HyperFlex.

It is to migrate our customer's solutions to a hyper-converged solution. This is the primary use case.

• It can convert applications.
• It introduces the perimeter of the data center. 
• It improves performance.

• There is the possibility to speed up data access.
• It can be auto-managed from Cisco ACI.

Some of our customers do not want to adopt the Cisco ACI solution. They want to manage Cisco HyperFlex by integrating it with their own management solution.

It is very stable.

The scalability is good.

The technical support has been helpful. We are always able to get through to the right person.

Many customers already own a system for searching, e.g., an older UCS. They might be looking to integrate to a new tech solution or trying to build a new data center.

The initial setup is simple.

The pricing is a bit expensive.

Most customers select this product based on the pricing.

For customers in the private sector, this product can have a very high return on investment.

Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series is simple to use, user-friendly and has been best for our purposes.

The solution could improve by having more customization.

I have used Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series within the past 12 months.

I have found Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series to be reliable and stable.

The scalability of the Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series is good.

The support of the solution is good, we have not had a problem.

The implementation and configuration of the Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series were easy.

The full deployment took approximately three months.

We did the implementation with the help of a partner.

The price of the solution could be reduced, it is a little expensive.

My advice to others is you must have the project very well defined, or you will get in trouble.

I rate Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series a ten out of ten.

This is brand new technology for us. We are using the ACI infrastructure in our company for the development of the HyperFlex servers.

By configuring networks, we are saving power.

We don't know yet, as it is new.

The scalability is perfect.

We are cooperating with Cisco, and so far, the technical support has been great.

The setup was complex because we integrated a lot of things: firewalls, F5 products, and ACI.

We did the deployment in-house with Cisco's help.

The cost is expensive, but there is a chance to save money in the future.

The pricing is expensive.

We chose Cisco because it has perfect support with cool people who helped us the configuration.

I would recommend Cisco ACI.

Supports Cisco Virtual Appliances for videotelephony control plane, network monitoring, and network management.

Easy to spin up and operate virtual machines without the overhead of managing a storage network.

Ease of use.

We are operating two clusters for site resiliency. I would like to support running redundant/resilient vCenter server instances on each rather than a supported external server.

We use it mainly in a virtualization environment with several VMs. 

We use it with VMware, not Hyper-V.

It is good for administrators who want to administrate storage, their virtualization environment, and network. They have one solution with one overview, helping the people who administer the systems within the data center. They have one solution for one proprietor and maybe one solution provider to handle service requests, etc.

It is a hyper-converged solution which integrates with the network instead of the product.

We love its ease of use, ease of deployment, and combination with UCS.

The stability works well. We have had no issues so far.

We had an issue on the customer side, where the wrong SSD piece was delivered. However, this has nothing to do directly with the HyperFlex solution. The technical support did make sure that the right piece was delivered on schedule.

One of our customers was given HyperFlex as a present from a telcom provider.

The deployment was very easy. It took about two hours, and the solution was ready to use.

We used vCenter for the installation.

Comparable solutions with switches, storage, and services are cheaper than HyperFlex. It should be cheaper.

The storage layer seems to be a little better on the VMware than on HyperFlex side.
