Likelihood to Recommend	VBlock is extremely well-suited for reliable delivery of virtualized mixed workloads. VBlock provides necessary hardware abstraction that allows for, uninterrupted by hardware failures, continuous delivery of critical services that otherwise do not provide hardware failure resiliency. VBlock is not the best solution from a financial standpoint for cost-sensitive solutions that are programmed for software resiliency. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	As Dell EMC VxRail comes as pre-built, the deployment process is simple and easy. It is possible to scale out easily and will get support from the vendor instantly. As it is a Hyperconverged Infrastructure and it is also the integration of Dell EMC hardware and Vmware, the flexibility that VxRail provides is effective. An organization that is looking for all in one place like data management, network management, Integration, and backup software ecosystem can go for this product.

Pros	Ease of Implementation Local Support and Expertise Minimum disruption to Architect Incentivized Iqbal Shahzad SVP - Head of IT PMO & Enterprise Architect Read full review	Configuration Flexibility. Integrating with existing hyper-converged Infrastructure environment. Automating the IT operations. Incentivized Nishanth Anbalagan Application Development Associate Read full review
Cons	Even tighter integration between components, with single pane of management dashboard to manage and deploy solutions. Automation - as of right now there is no single administrative interface provided to script solution provisioning. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Initial installation services leave a lot to be desired. We struggled to get the first units in service. Subsequent units were very easy to install though... Dell/EMC has an A/B maintenance cycle for updates. Make sure ALL of your units are on the same cycle. It is difficult (but not quite impossible) to get them changes after installation I would like to see a sub $100k offering for branch offices. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	vce vBlock is considered a converged solution wherein 3 vendors namely cisco, vmware and emc combined in a single rack/solution. Compared to Nutanix which is tightly integrated, vblock does not provide the ease of use, support and management. The solution does not offer that much if you buy it separately.
