"Technical support, when we had access to it, was very good."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The product is very stable."
"The solution is easy to install."
"I like the speed capabilities that it provides. The deduplication features definitely have some huge potential. The latest firmware, where they've enabled compression for workloads that aren't very good for deduplication, I can definitely see huge potential there."
"I like that it's stable. This is the reason why we're using these products. We work in the broadcast market, and stability is very important. HPE has global services, and that's also important. Dell and HPE are some big companies, and their solutions are robust and stable."
"The deduplication functionality is great. We have seen a lot of benefits in the deduplication ratio. So, it has proven that it is a good cost savings."
"Having moved over from a lefthand, which was seven or eight years old, there's a massive boost in performance. It has definitely improved the speed, the responsiveness, of all our applications."
"It is very stable. That is why we bought it."
"The scalability is good because it is easy to add in new disks. We just add them on the fly, and they are available for use."

"I can't buy any more solutions provided by EqualLogic...Since I can't buy it anymore, I don't receive any updates on the solution. Also, this is the last year in which one can buy support for the solution."
"Dell EqualLogic PS series could improve by providing fiber channel connectivity. Fiber channel connectivity is not supported, which is a requirement of advanced applications, such as SAP HANA. SAP HANA recommends fiber channel connectivity, but the Dell EqualLogic PS series is only an ISCSI data storage."
"We need more space and we can't get any."
"The product is reaching the end-of-lifecycle."
"If I need to have more space or more capacity, I need to replace the product. It would be ideal if we could scale without replacing the box itself."
"The solution is out of date and the new version has a lot of advanced features."
"The performance isn't as good as, for example, Nimble."
"It is at the end of support and no longer supported. We have to move our VMware to another storage platform, and we have decided to use Dell PowerStore. We like Dell's products, and it is a new platform with a lot of features."
"We need longer names for our volumes. Now it's only 28 characters. It should be 64, or at least more than 32 characters."
"The replicating software is pretty complicated. I probably would have put it on a sequence."
"Our support in the US has been phenomenal, no issues at all. But the European support was poor initially."
"The solution’s customer support could be improved."
"This product has come to the end of its lifecycle."
"The tool needs improvement in the utilization report at the granular level."
