What do you like best about VxRail?

In VxRail, the best is all computing, including the Stograte, comes in a single box. the operations are the same as managing Vmware Infrastructure. The performance of VxRail is excellent, and Patch management is relatively simple. We are hosting more than 100 VMs, and all the VMs' performance is excellent. Creation of storage policies, different Virtual networks, HA, and DRS is straightforward. Overall it's straightforward to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VxRail?

Only the cost of having all SSDs for storage and the very high license cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is VxRail solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the legacy VMware infrastructure, we had to buy storage, compute and manage separately, but VxRail made our life easy as it combined all the compute and storage in a single box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It combines storage, compute, and networking into a single appliance, thus reducing overall cost and providing easy management. I am using it with VMware, so we have all features available in VMware.Dell's support was also Good during implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VxRail?

You need a high budget to implement VxRail HCI, so for a small organization, it is a little bit expensive. Updates of VxRail HCI are dependent on VMware updates, so you have to wait for VMware to release one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering VxRail:

If you need everything like VDI, Networking, Storage, Computing in one appliance, The VxRail is best for you. The migration and implementatin are a little bit tricky but don't worry; the Dell support is there. Just ask your orgnization to buy it as you feel cofort for future.
