"It is an inexpensive storage solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is easy to manage and easy to use."
"I like the tool's CloudIQ feature."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to set up PowerVault. I also like the provisioning of storage."
"The most valuable features are stability and response time."
"The stability is quite good. Once you deploy all the equipment, it's very stable."
"The solution is reliable and stable."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"Deduplication and compression are in a good ratio. It supports the HPE Catalyst protocol, which is much faster than NFS and other protocols. We use CommVault and Veeam, and these two solutions support the Catalyst protocol very well and are integrated at high speed. It is faster than normal access."
"The important feature is compression and duplication. It has a good compression ratio and is very stable."
"It is very easy to implement."
"The most valuable features for us are the ease of use, the reliability, and the exceptional deduplication that we get across that data that we store on those devices."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"There have been situations when our customers requested professional support and the price of that feature is quite high."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"Dell PowerVault could improve by having a higher cache and file protocol support added."
"The product could support an NVMe hard disk."
"I would like to see improvements made to the user interface."
"Dell PowerVault is block-oriented storage only."
"The high prices of the solution are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"Some high-level cybersecurity features could be achieved with some entities, and their integration could be built into the store."
"When it comes to upgrading, it always goes block-wise. One block is 48 TB raw capacity. It would be good if they can include a smaller capacity for SMB customers. Currently, it is not possible to increase in a smaller capacity. You have to buy the exact same unit. It would be great if they can provide a smaller next block. There are around 20 hard disks, and it would be really helpful if we can add 10 hard disks initially and 10 hard disks later."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
"Agnostic backups."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
