"The most valuable features are stability and response time."
"For us, the initial setup was easy."
"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerVault is its performance."
"The solution is reliable and stable."
"PowerVault comes with free software that performs functions like data deduplication and replication, which is cost-effective and delivers added value to the product."
"I find this solution to be cost-effective in providing data storage for clients."
"Dell PowerVault offers valuable full flash storage."

"I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."
"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues. Importantly, there were no substantial ongoing concerns. Regarding the overall performance, it has been consistently excellent."
"There have been situations when our customers requested professional support and the price of that feature is quite high."
"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 could be improved by increasing its memory cache capacity and adding the ability to export data to the cloud."
"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."
"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."
"Dell PowerVault is block-oriented storage only."
"I would like to see improvements made to the user interface."
"The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."
"Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas."
