Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Enterprise SAN."The most valuable feature of Dell PowerVault is its ability to provide small to medium-range storage. It doesn't have any specific standout features, but it's great for applications, such as surveillance where a large number of videos need to be recorded and performance isn't a priority."
"I like the tool's CloudIQ feature."
"The Dell warranty is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerVault is its performance."
"The initial setup was easy and simple."
"The most valuable features are stability and response time."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is easy to manage and easy to use."
"The stability is quite good. Once you deploy all the equipment, it's very stable."
"I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."
"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues. Importantly, there were no substantial ongoing concerns. Regarding the overall performance, it has been consistently excellent."
"Dell PowerVault could improve by having a higher cache and file protocol support added."
"Dell PowerVault is block-oriented storage only."
"The tool needs to improve its UI."
"The implementation process takes a while."
"If the solution came with a synchronous application, it would be particularly advantageous for small businesses operating across multiple sites."
"There have been situations when our customers requested professional support and the price of that feature is quite high."
"In the next release, I would like the deduplication and compression included, as well as the flash technology. It doesn't currently use it."
"I would like Dell to improve on the configuration of the disk groups. Only one group is expandable. Once you configure the other disk group types, you cannot expand them. It limits scalability. If you want maybe to grow a disk group, you lose information, and then you need to build it up again, which is not a good use case for customers."
"Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas."
"The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."
