"Dell PowerVault offers valuable full flash storage."
"The initial setup was easy and simple."
"The solution is reliable and stable."
"I like the tool's CloudIQ feature."
"Dell PowerVault is cheap."

"Dell PowerVault is user-friendly and easy to deploy."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to set up PowerVault. I also like the provisioning of storage."
"HPE has reliable support for HDD replacement."
"It is very stable."
"There have been no fail-stop failures for the last five years."
"We need higher performance and more reliable storage."
"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."
"The high prices of the solution are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product is generally stable, but there have been instances, to my knowledge, where we faced issues in the controller during software upgrades. The availability is not at the desired level during these upgrade processes, as we sometimes need to shut down both controllers. This could be an area for improvement."
"There have been situations when our customers requested professional support and the price of that feature is quite high."
"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 product could support an NVMe hard disk."
"In most instances, clients are using Dell PowerVault with tape drives, but we want to transition them away from tape drives due to the risk of data loss."
"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."
