Dell PowerEdge VRTX vs Oracle Private Cloud Appliance comparison

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

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

"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."

"In my view, the only aspect that could be enhanced in the Dell PowerEdge VRTX solution is the pricing. Apart from that, the overall performance and features of the solution are flawless."

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

"The system is very intuitive."

"It's a good solution when you don't need a lot of IT."

"With Dell PowerEdge VRTX, there are fewer points, and it is easier to troubleshoot and find your way around it."

"The most valuable features include distinct storage within the Oracle PCA."

"Supports connection to most of network topology, such as VLAN and network segmentation."

"It has helped us to reduce Oracle licensing costs for database and applications."

"You will find the high availability and License Team with Oracle very valuable."

"It is scalable as the box can be increased by one compute node, if required."

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

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

"The scalability could be better."

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

"The support must be improved."

"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."

"The storage can be improved."

"We've had general issues related to the solution being difficult."

"In comparison to competitors like VMware, there's a perceived need for Oracle to enhance OVM, making it more flexible and user-friendly."

"Patching processing takes a long time. Only one compute node is patched at a time."

"The initial setup was very complex."

"OVM Manager Interface is using HTML5. It should be reconverted to be a Java interface."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"It is more expensive than the normal solution or the hyper-converged system."

"If you have many Oracle products, such as databases, middleware, and apps, it will help you reduce Oracle app licences and support costs."

"It is relatively cost-effective."

"No licenses for the shipped software or firmware."
