Streamlines resource management through centralized automation and automatic upgrades
The most valuable feature of VxRail is the VxRail Manager, which centralizes resources like storage built with vSAN. It provides a unified way to access these resources, making management straightforward. Another benefit is the fully automated upgrade process, which is completed with just one click through the VxRail Manager. This centralization and automation enhance efficiency significantly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product’s most valuable feature is the concept of hyper-convergence."
"If you're looking for simplification of operations, this is a great solution to implement."
"I have found that the admin deployment, monitoring off-premises, and the many services important features. Additionally, the solution has good integration."
"With VxRail, you can just go ahead and add a node without disrupting the existing environment, which works very well."
"The cover points feature in VxRail is remarkable. It's unique. It has an intervention failover system as well as an automatic failover system, reaching clusters existing in VxRail. This makes all files act as a single file with a large and huge resource, and, of course, with customized administration, configuration, and resources. It provides automatic failover for redundancy and data recovery."
"Scalability is probably one of the biggest reasons people choose VxRail."
"VxRail supports straightforward scaling, allowing you to add as many nodes as needed for upgrades and simplifying the upgrade process."
"Compared with other products, the IT administrator or IT integrator doesn't take much time to get the tool up and running."

Cons

"Lenovo ThinkAgile MX Certified Node’s support services could be faster."
"The setup requires a significant amount of expertise, as end customers can’t do it themselves. It must be done by certified partners."
"Some of the features of the hyperconverged infrastructure could be integrated with external storage. Right now, for example, if I have surveillance going, I need to purchase very cheap storage. So, an integration between the hyperconverged infrastructure and external storage would be good."
"The implementation of a VxRail, it's straightforward, but the ongoing utilization, and integration, are where it can start to become difficult if you're not used to doing it."
"For the fourth year and fifth year, I have to buy separately for the licensing from VMware and from VxRail, so I think the combo cost for the fourth and fifth year is huge and does not make sense."
"There are still some features which aren't built into Cisco, like virtualized networking, that use its applications. However, these can be purchased through another product as an additional licensing cost to us."
"The licensing needs to be improved upon."
"Integration could be improved."
"The licensing costs are too expensive for smaller deployments. They should work on their pricing model at the low end."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has competitive pricing."
"At about $200,000, this solution is a little bit pricey but it is more economical than others such as Nutanix or Cisco Hyperflex."
"Most of hyper-converged solutions require additional licenses for the virtualization layer (like VMware)."
"The tool is expensive."
"When compared with others, the price is very reasonable."
"The solution is competitively priced but it is expensive. However, this is expected as we are a corporate enterprise and we need this environment."
"We made a one-time purchase of the solution and the price is expensive."
"It's a mandatory cost with everything included"
