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.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the combined management in one box."

"The system is very intuitive."

"We now find that the solution is quite stable."

"The online UA is very good in comparison to others."

"Dell PowerEdge VRTX's most valuable feature is its reliability. It offers a good experience for my IT teams."

"We started off with a base because we started our infrastructure with Dell and we always propose or prefer Dell which is easier to manage the warranty than with different vendors."

"While I cannot say Dell is better than HP or IBM, Dell has a strong presence here in Qatar. We can recommend Dell because of that strategic factor."

"The solution is stable."

More Dell PowerEdge VRTX pros

"The product has a very simple GUI-based management platform and it is very simple to use. There is a very easy step-by-step configuration procedure that guides you through, and you can configure it very easily."

"Provides easy access to our data."

"In cases where system interruptions occur, it enables rapid restoration, ensuring a prompt return to normal service levels."

"Huawei FusionStorage does well in its basic functions and offers broad utility."

"It is a stable solution."

"The solution’s most valuable feature is its performance."

Cons

"I'd like to be able to increase capacity."

"The scalability is limited with one chassis and the amount of storage it will give you, but it is mainly used for small offices."

"Dell PowerEdge VRTX can improve by providing support for M2 drives."

"The scalability could be better."

"When we first started with this product, we had some difficulty with it."

"The licensing can be difficult to understand."

"Management of storage and networking is web-based, slow, and difficult."

"The support must be improved."

More Dell PowerEdge VRTX cons

"The problem with Huawei is that it generally oversells. As a principle, Huawei does not educate the partner or the end user enough to scale up their solution correctly."

"The initial setup and installation is not that straightforward. It should be made easier and the time to install should be reduced."

"I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance."

"The solution’s support could be improved."

"The product needs improvement in terms of affordability."

"Their cloud services could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We bought a license for seven years."

"This product is more reasonably-priced than similar solutions by HPE."

"The tool's pricing is fine."

"The solution is less expensive than competitors."

"We are renewing the support and we are purchasing the license for the software."

"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."

"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 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."

"If one is a cheap solution and ten means it is a very expensive product, I would rate the price as two or three."

"It is expensive but might be optimal based on the partnership."
