What do you like best about VxRail?

Yes. I'm using it with Vmware. Deployment, Configuring and Monitoring is very easy. Efficient Storage with Vsan. All-flash can't be used for the maximum performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VxRail?

Licencing cost is involved in VxRail such as Vmware. You can't add SAS and Flash Drive on the appliance. Software release is slow as dependent on Vmware. VxRail should be more cost effective. Adding node in VxRail cluster makes different warrenty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VxRail?

Easy to manage and control your HCI and get better business outcomes and reduce TCO. Also this solution simplifies your day to day task in the data Center. You can control your software and hardware layers from a single embedded infrastructure.

Instead managing multiples management panes, you can have a central management for the whole SSDC stack (Software, hardware, lifecycle management, and much more) reducing OPEx and also CAPEx

The best of this it is integrated with VMware. Love it!! :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VxRail?

So expensive for small and medium business, lol. But is one of the best solution in the market for the functions it offers. If your customers have the budget to use it don't hesitate to offer this solution.

At the beginning is complicated to understand the management, but nothing that best documentation repository around the world (Google) can't resolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering VxRail:

A solution with a complete stack to manage your SDDC with HCI fully compatible with VMware solutions and very easy to manage your SDDC, with no doubt this is one of the best solutions for managing HCI SDDC solutions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Hiperconverge infrastructure for 3 Data Center locations for compute, storage, networking and disaster recovery using VMware vSphere, vSAN, NSX, Log Insight with VMware Cloud Foundation 4.1 software bundle

Central upgrade management, REST API fully compatible, ACE Data Lake for data warehousing, best network management platform.

Before using VxRail my customer was managing their Hardware networking devices separately, same for storage. We kick-in with VMware VCF on VxRail solution and they went in love with all the functions offered by this system Software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VxRail?

VxRail is the only HCA, hyper-converged appliance, to offer QoS functionality, capable of eliminating interference; thanks to this the same appliance - or the same cluster - can host more applications without affecting performance.

Dell's HCI solution, in its form of a software appliance for virtual machines, features VMware Data Protection (VDP), which enables data backup and disaster recovery.

Through VDP, your business continuity is therefore always guaranteed, as is the protection of virtual machines up to the most granular scope. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VxRail?

Vxrail is under development so is possible to have several difference between version Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering VxRail:

Dell EMC VxRail's impact is also financial. It significantly reduces operational expense, resulting in a 28% drop in the operational cost that you would incur if you built your own hyperconvergence appliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Stable platform, have not encountered any major issues since implementing. Very easy to scale out. Used for all types of workloads and deployments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VxRail?

From the box one click upgrade feature for all the components.

Adding new nodes with ease Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VxRail?

Allegedly you need 15 min to setup the environment. This is never the case, sometimes it would take weeks for the support to identify the bug that is block the setup.

vSAN ready nodes are better as you have better flexibility with the hardware choices. If you have a good VMware administrator, he can configure VMware to do the upgrades easily.

In case of major problem, DellEMC engineers will revert to VMware support to fix all vSAN problem. So why bother buying a VxRail while you can get cheaper servers build a vSAN environment on top.

Even if you are a loyal DellEMC customer go for vSAN ready nodes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering VxRail:

Invest in a good VMware administrator and buy a vSAN ready environment instead Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

VxRail will help you migrate from traditional datacenter to HCI easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
