"The user interface, reporting, and management are good, and we are quite happy with the performance."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the flexibility and the availability of the machines."
"This is a scalable solution. Our customers begin with an initial configuration and later add more servers, memory and other options to meet the demands of increased processing."
"The most valuable features of HPE ConvergedSystem are scalability and resilience."
"We find the deduplication and compression features to be most valuable, as well as that of the backup solution inside."
"The storage, BladeSystems, Virtual Connect, and simplicity with hyper-converged solutions are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The most valuable features include distinct storage within the Oracle PCA."
"You will find the high availability and License Team with Oracle very valuable."
"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."
"It is scalable as the box can be increased by one compute node, if required."
 

Cons

"HPE ConvergedSystem needs to improve its price."
"Features that should be addressed concern the HPE functionality and the interaction with VMware."
"The solution has a complicated front-end."
"There is some scope for improvement in support. The response time could be better."
"Perhaps they can work on providing faster allocation of memory or storage."
"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."
"Pricing is an area of concern in the solution where improvements are required."
"I would like to see better manageability and integration with third-party tools."
"The initial setup was very complex."
"Patching processing takes a long time. Only one compute node is patched at a time."
"In comparison to competitors like VMware, there's a perceived need for Oracle to enhance OVM, making it more flexible and user-friendly."
"OVM Manager Interface is using HTML5. It should be reconverted to be a Java interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 sensitive."
"The pricing is competitive. Not a major problem. We have a subscription model."
"This is an expensive system and not every customer has the kind of budget to support it."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"This is an expensive solution."
"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."
"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."
"It is relatively cost-effective."
"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 more expensive than the normal solution or the hyper-converged system."
"No licenses for the shipped software or firmware."
