Solution Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Intuitive, robust, manageable, and agile
In terms of what could be improved, I particularly think the scope of automation is very much limited. So they should introduce some more STK's and APIs for automation first thing. Secondly, in terms of Vscale Architecture, they should have some evangelists. When I go to the community for VMware ESXi or NSX, I get lots of information online everywhere because community members are talking, evangelists are talking. Additionally, I usually have a lot of KV articles and lot of community articles I can read and sort out the minor issues. But, in terms of Vscale, you need to be very mature in all aspects of the technology and when you get disturbed, you have to go through the entire documentation to figure things out. I think I heard this from one or two customers as well. Their resources are not able to find much online support for Vscale. As for what should be included in future releases, customers are looking for a unified management console, which they have, but the console should be more user-friendly. Secondly, they should have more scope of orchestration. Thirdly, regarding monitoring, there should be a built-in monitoring engine like we have in Nutanix. These are the things customers complain about sometimes.
Charu Mazumdar - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Architect at DXC Technology
A robust product that offers great flexibility
The initial setup process was neither easy nor difficult, as it is somewhere in the middle, but at times, it is difficult to make certain decisions. The availability of the product is high. The deployment model of the product is chosen depending on the requirements of the customers, but our company does sea consultancy to figure out what the advantages and disadvantages of both deployment models are. The discussions mostly led my company to opt for a hybrid cloud deployment model. It doesn't take more than two days to complete if the installation is only for a couple of systems, or else if there are multiple ways to decide, then the installation part depends on the rate type.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Vscale's scalability is super good. Vscale's scalability, manageability, and performance are all three areas that I emphasize when I sell Vscale Architectures to the customer."
"We use the solution for DDI."
"The best value was in the service because we receive the solution as a managed service from HPE, so it's a box somewhere in the data center that we don't care about, it's always running and so far, no problems."
"As far as what we are doing now, there is no problem with stability; it's pretty flexible, it's efficient, and it is centralized management, cost-effective."
"After we migrated to this environment, everything changed."
"The best feature of this solution is the backup system."
"We find the deduplication and compression features to be most valuable, as well as that of the backup solution inside."
"I recommend this solution, I think it's easier to implement Converged than other solutions."
"The tool's most valuable features are stability and scalability."
 

Cons

"In terms of what could be improved, I particularly think the scope of automation is very much limited. So they should introduce some more STK's and API's for automation first thing."
"This is an expensive solution."
"This is an expensive system and not every customer has the kind of budget to support it."
"The tool has shortcomings in its performance monitoring part."
"I would like to see better manageability and integration with third-party tools."
"Perhaps they can work on providing faster allocation of memory or storage."
"This is an expensive solution and could be improved with lower pricing."
"Technical support hasn't seemed to be that simple or that easy."
"It was a very rough ride. The people they sent, I don't think they had experience in doing these kinds of implementations before."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is competitive. Not a major problem. We have a subscription model."
"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."
