A very good online UI and fit for lower budgets but nodes don't sync with the server
Our company uses the solution for 15 mediums with virtual machines.  The online UI is very good in comparison to others.  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 have been using the solution for five years.…

Highly scalable, suitable for enterprise usage and good performance
I do the evaluation based on my requirements. And whatever product scores high during that time, I get my order for that. The current environment is all about the experience. The best user experience is something I as a decision maker look forward to. Because that brings the value of my service to…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The security is very good on the solution."
"Dell PowerEdge VRTX supports a lot of memory which has allowed us to keep our system size smaller."
"The system is very intuitive."
"It's a good solution when you don't need a lot of IT."
"The most valuable feature is the combined management in one box."
"The solution is stable."
"Dell PowerEdge VRTX's most valuable feature is its reliability. It offers a good experience for my IT teams."
"It is simple to use and it's user-friendly."
"The solution's technical support was good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Consolidation and duplications features."
"The user interface, reporting, and management are good, and we are quite happy with the performance."
"Most of the HP products I come across are they are easy to install. That's not very complex."
"This solution is very simple to use."
"We use the solution for DDI."
"We find the deduplication and compression features to be most valuable, as well as that of the backup solution inside."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the flexibility and the availability of the machines."
 

Cons

"The storage can be improved."
"We've had general issues related to the solution being 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."
"When we first started with this product, we had some difficulty with it."
"The problem is with our configuration. We know we can use PowerEdge for hyper-convergence if we have PowerEdge and configure vSAN. We will be able to achieve what VxRail is being able to provide, but we need to migrate it to a new infrastructure instead of changing our existing. It will be much more difficult for us."
"I'd like to be able to increase capacity."
"The scalability could be better."
"Dell PowerEdge VRTX can improve by providing support for M2 drives."
"It could be enhanced by improving the built-in backup solution."
"The solution has a complicated front-end."
"Pricing is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"HPE ConvergedSystem needs to improve its price."
"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."
"I would like to see monitoring solutions included, as well as brand support."
"Features that should be addressed concern the HPE functionality and the interaction with VMware."
"The MTG inside HP could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This product is more reasonably-priced than similar solutions by HPE."
"On the scale of pricing, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I would rate it as a three. I am familiar with the overall cost, which involves licenses from Dell and VMware, among others, making it a combination of various license types."
"The solution price of Dell PowerEdge VRTX could be reduced. However, when comparing the price of Dell PowerEdge VRTX to other solutions, such as HP and Lenovo, it was the best price for what they offer."
"We bought a license for seven years."
"The tool's pricing is fine."
"Fully configured, it costs about $50,000 or $55,000. I did purchase a used one or refurbished one. I have been very happy with it so far. Even if it is an older unit, it doesn't look like its age, and I would say it has been a great choice so far for me. Obviously, I would have thought twice if I had to pay for a brand new one because it is still an older technology with the risk of being discontinued. I talked to Dell, and they're still selling it, but they're not promoting it. They're promoting another line of products right now for hyper-converged, which are much more expensive."
"The solution is less expensive than competitors."
"We are renewing the support and we are purchasing the license for the software."
"My company has a five year contract for HPE ConvergedSystem. The contracts depend on companies and sometimes it can be three years. The solution is worth its price."
"The pricing is competitive. Not a major problem. We have a subscription model."
"I rate the product price an eight and a half on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is sensitive."
"This is an expensive system and not every customer has the kind of budget to support it."
"Pricing is good. We have not calculated what hyper-converged infrastructure has brought us but I think there has to be some lower cost for us, compared to the public cloud. Obviously, there would be a lower cost, probably by more than half."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
