"The stability is quite good. Once you deploy all the equipment, it's very stable."
"The storage has been good."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"PowerVault comes with free software that performs functions like data deduplication and replication, which is cost-effective and delivers added value to the product."
"Dell PowerVault is user-friendly and easy to deploy."
"The Dell warranty is the most valuable feature."
"For us, the initial setup was easy."
"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerVault is its performance."
"It is very stable."
"There have been no fail-stop failures for the last five years."
"HPE has reliable support for HDD replacement."
"Dell PowerVault is block-oriented storage only."
"We could set up the installation through a web server, but it's not very reactive on the web server. For example, when you launch a task, and you don't know exactly if the task has begun or if the task is in progress, or if it's finished. You have to wait for three to five to ten minutes to be sure that the task is running or in progress or finished. So at that point, it's not very good."
"If the solution came with a synchronous application, it would be particularly advantageous for small businesses operating across multiple sites."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"In the next release, I would like the deduplication and compression included, as well as the flash technology. It doesn't currently use it."
"PowerVault doesn't integrate with Active Directory. Other storage solutions offer SAN and NAS unified storage in a single appliance, but PowerVault is only SAN."
"The implementation process takes a while."
"The product could support an NVMe hard disk."
"Performance could probably be improve with faster controllers, but it is already an old device. We do have performance problems now, but it is a rather old device, so we have what we have."
