We performed a comparison between Dell EqualLogic PS series and NetApp FAS Series based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Modular SAN (Storage Area Network) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product is very stable."
"You can always trust it. It is stable."
"If you have one datacenter fail, the VMs will start to run inside the other data center."
"The technical support is very good."
"Technical support, when we had access to it, was very good."
"Dell EqualLogic PS series is a highly stable solution."
"It has contributed to the implementation of virtualization and all its benefits."
"The solution has been working well overall."
"It's a stable product. No issues there."
"The solution is very stable and reliable"
"The replication feature is noteworthy because it's faster than most and it uses little bandwidth. Then there's the friendly interface that the equipment offers. With this interface, it is very easy to manage."
"NAS stability"
"It is very flexible. It integrates well with the public cloud and other components, so everything can be API driven. Therefore, it is very easy to automate it."
"Reliable storage solution with an easy setup. It has high availability and makes single file restoration easy. It also has good stability and scalability."
"The product is flexible."
"The product is user-friendly and helps to evaluate the performance of each node. It ensures that if one node encounters an issue, the system can immediately redistribute the workload without interruptions. This setup provides uninterrupted operation for our systems."
"Individual file recovery would be a nice additional feature."
"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."
"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."
"Synchronous replication uses space inefficiently."
"There is no option for mixing RAID types in one device."
"There is no inline deduplication capability."
"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."
"The performance isn't as good as, for example, Nimble."
"They should add new features to the product."
"The user interface could be improved."
"As I see it, there could be more interfaces, more cache, etc."
"NetApp is costly when compared to Dell."
"There are some technical limitations, but it would be great to have in-line deduplication and in-line compression for the FAS series as well."
"It could be more flexible in terms of configuration."
"I would like to see less latency and higher IOPS."
"The product must support more drives."
