Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

  • "The clients like the solution’s simplicity."
  • "The VX machines are scalable."
  • "Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series' deployment is easy. We are a tier-one platinum partner who is into multiple implementations."

Room for Improvement

User management and support need enhancement for Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series. Stability should be more robust, and resolution times should be quicker. Confusion arises with resource allocation, suggesting a need for improved hardware compatibility with virtual machines. An increased control over resources and inclusion of AI features would simplify use.
  • "The product must provide AI features."
  • "With the VX machines, the clients often confuse the hardware itself with the services and resources. VMs are configured according to resources - memory, hard disk capacity, and network. These resources, including memory and processor, are actually shared on the VX Series. So, if the server's processor is underpowered or unreliable for the VMs, many of the VMs will encounter issues. Ideally, the physical server configuration should align more closely with the needs of the virtual servers."
  • "Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series needs to improve its stability. Its resolution should be faster."

Pricing

Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series pricing is generally affordable and competitive, appreciated by many users. However, licenses for additional features, such as hardware monitoring for automatic alerts, incur extra costs. Some users find the licensing model moderately complex, with room for improvement. Calculating necessary resources for client requirements can be challenging due to the need to review and compute virtual machine needs. VMware's pricing contributes to overall expenses, affecting the tool's perceived cost-effectiveness.
  • "The tool is expensive."
  • "There is room for improvement in the licensing structure, maybe. Regarding sizing the resources, sometimes it's difficult to calculate/compute them based on the client's requirements."
  • "The tool's pricing is competitive."

Deployment

The initial setup of Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series is straightforward and easy. It's not complex and can usually be completed in one or two days. Some engineers face occasional issues with licensing or network configuration, but it generally rates as moderately complex. Deployment requires minimal personnel, and it caters to clients preferring on-premise servers or cloud configurations.
