Overall Satisfaction with Cisco HyperFlex

We wanted to deploy an agile, efficient, and hybrid IT infrastructure, Cisco HyperFlex met our expected criteria. Cisco HyperFlex supports end-to-end "Intelligent" Automation. Because of this, we simplified the deployment process by configuring intelligent automation. Cisco HyperFlex's Hyperconverged Infrastructure helps us to keep the storage and networking management in a single component. Because of these features, we have reduced the cost of spending to avail multiple storage disks. The encryption/security provided by Cisco HyperFlex is too secured, and the VDI and DAAS(Desktop as a Service) are literally great.
  • Cisco HyperFlex supports end-to-end intelligent automation
  • Documentation of the deployment process is simple and easy to understand for new users.
  • Will be able to automate the deployment process
  • Will be able to provide the support to business faster as it is based on the "Hyperconverged Infrastructure" principle
  • Small organization can't afford the cost of Cisco Hyperflex as it's yearly subscription
  • Virtual controller should be little more powerful
  • Integrating the graphics card feature is not available, it would be great if they make this so that it will enable the users to improve acceleration
  • We can eliminate the extra costs spent for buying other physical disks
  • Can eliminate the costs spent for reducing the power and cooling
  • It ultimately reduces our deployment time because it has an intelligent automation deployment process
Deployment is a simple and easy process when it comes to Cisco HyperFlex. As Cisco HyperFlex has an end-to-end Intelligent deployment process we can configure the process and it will ultimately reduce our time and effort. The support provided by Cisco HyperFlex is literally great when it comes to deployment or any other support. Also, the deployment documentation provided by HyperFlex is simple, straightforward, and easy to understand.
Because of its automated processes, it has reduced our support team's time and effort in getting the updates. Before HyperFlex we have faced many issues in managing the support team mainly the availability was missing sometimes. After HyperFlex we eliminated that and our team is using their efforts on manual process.
Nowadays being agile and efficient is most really important. Hyperflex has the ability to be agile and efficient. Cisco HyperFlex functions based on UCS technology, it includes built-in networking and integrated management with pre-configured software. Cisco HyperFlex has everything in one place as a data center, so there is no need to focus on extra things.
