More HPE EVA Pros →

Cons
"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.""Sometimes integrating into a cluster can be difficult as you have to do it manually.""In the next release, I would like the deduplication and compression included, as well as the flash technology. It doesn't currently use it.""We need higher performance and more reliable storage.""I would like to see improvements made to the user interface.""The price of the solution could be lower.""Dell PowerVault could improve by having a higher cache and file protocol support added."

"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."
