Yudish Jatoo - PeerSpot reviewer
Independently scalable solution with the highest resiliency, low latency and intelligence
It's a very innovative solution for companies. Nowadays, businesses are very dynamic. They are very demanding due to data growth. The product enables users to scale compute and storage independently. Companies can have a dynamic HCI to scale their resources independently. It gives them the flexibility to grow, expand, and scale up however they want. It’s very good for companies. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
Benjamin Bodenehim - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution is user-friendly, stable, and easy to deploy
The snapshot technology takes up 500 times more space compared to other solutions. The snapshots are working on the byte level and not the bit level. The solution has three detriments, there is no performance, we can't see how much CPU each node is using, and we have no technical data on anything that happened on the server. Additionally, replication is also lacking and does not work well, partially to the fact of the snapshot technology.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integration of AI tools for predictive analysis sets it apart from competitors."
"HPE Nimble Storage dHCI has the most valuable features for performance, resilience, and scalability."
"The solution is useful for taking storage snapshots, has high performance, and the CASL architecture is good for optimizing workloads."
"The solution works well."
"It is easier to manage compared to the other vendors."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The nice thing about it is that it truly integrates with the cloud, so I can move my volumes bi-directionally in and out of the cloud."
"The product has cut down a lot of service tickets. Earlier, people complained about slowness."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the nice GUI."
"The most valuable features are the appliance-type feel and that you don't need additional licenses as everything is built-in."
"I like that Scale Computing HCR is slimmed down and gives me the features I need and not features that I don't need."
"I rate Scale Computing support 10 out of 10. They're accessible and responsive."
"It gives the ease of management for a small IT department."
"The most valuable feature of Scale Computing HC3 is if one of the devices fails, you won't even notice, the service maintains operation. The customers don't have to waste two, or three days on delays. Additionally, you do not have to waste time with recovery software, it is a lot easier."
"The product's initial setup phase is too easy."
 

Cons

"The only issue I'm really running into is we have a SQL server that we're having a lot of high IO latency on one of my drives and it's my data drive from my SQL server. It's not really giving me any good information as to where that latency is coming from, so that's what I'm trying to track down and troubleshoot."
"The product is expensive."
"The solution must be hypervisor-agnostic."
"Companies in small countries face problems with spare parts."
"Lacking integration to the cloud."
"The product’s performance needs improvement. It could also help with more environment monitoring and AI technologies to improve the performance and thresholds."
"The initial setup is a little bit complicated."
"Sometimes the technical support would get back to us in two hours, but other times it would take them two or even three days to respond."
"The product could use a better control center."
"There could be an easier way to see which servers are on each node"
"On the fly, you cannot do anything on Scale Computing HC3, though it is a very rarely needed area."
"I've had so many issues with the sales team when I was looking to make some improvements, and improve the performance. They would create so many excuses to force me to buy new nodes all the time and not let me add more memory to each node."
"I would like bigger clusters with more than eight nodes."
"The snapshot technology takes up 500 times more space compared to other solutions."
"The product struggles to cope with bigger workloads. In the next release, I'd like some backup solutions to be added."
"Scale HC3 improvements would involve literally fixing up the replication."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is costly."
"The solution’s pricing was very good."
"The product is very affordable."
"The product licensing costs vary depending on whether VMware or other solutions are used."
"With the features that HPE Nimble Storage dHCI provides, I cannot say its pricing is more."
"The cost of the licensing is reasonable."
"I would rate the licensing model a three out of ten, where one is extremely expensive, and ten is cheap."
"I think it's priced right and it's extremely intelligent."
"I pay for Scale Computing HC3 and it includes customer service for one year. We paid for an additional year for customer service but that includes the updates and everything for the software. Additionally, the licensing is for Windows, which is the same for everybody."
"rate HC3's pricing a five out of ten since it is affordable."
"The product is worth the money, but I would not say it's very cheap or very expensive."
"I give the pricing a nine out of ten."

Questions from the Community

What do you like most about Scale Computing HC3?
The product's initial setup phase is too easy.
What needs improvement with Scale Computing HC3?
There could be an easier way to see which servers are on each node. It shows you a small graphical interface, but you have to see them all, and you have to really struggle to figure out which nodes...
