"NAS stability"
"NetApp FAS Series is simple to set up."
"The input and output per second performance are satisfactory."
"It is good to have a unified storage where you can have block and file level protocols."
"Reliable storage solution with an easy setup. It has high availability and makes single file restoration easy. It also has good stability and scalability."
"NetApp FAS is highly stable and reliable, especially under a heavy load. That is what I like most about the NetApp."
"Saves space with deduplication"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"6510 and 6610 have two iSCSI connections in each controller. Why do 6110xxx members have only one, and why do the same members have the possibility of having an active iSCSI interface in the passive controller? It could make a lot of noise with a failover."
"The replication efficiency needs to be improved."
"The product is reaching the end-of-lifecycle."
"The searchable online documentation is missing."
"Dell EqualLogic PS series could improve the performance because in our hybrid configuration the read speed is faster than the write speed."

"The product should include an audit log feature."
"The solution could do more than just data."
"Currently, the newest release is not HCI friendly."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern, so from an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made cheaper."
"We're supposed to have used NetApp FAS Series for replication, but then one of the nodes failed, and then it's taken us some time to bring it up."
"It's not a cheap system. It is very expensive. The pricing has been ridiculous every time that we had to renew the support."
