More Dell Storage Resource Manager Pros →

"I am impressed with the product's ability to warn us whenever something is wrong with the system. It is connected with Active Directory and Exchange. Whenever there is anything wrong with NetApp, the solution will alert you to an event error, post which you can start to troubleshoot.""Snapshot is a valuable feature.""One of the main features is the ability to run the block and file storage from the same system.""In OnCommand Unified Manager, we can monitor the entire cluster as well as configure data protection through Unified Manager."

Cons
"Technical support is inadequate.""Technical support needs improvement, as well as the engineering resources, who do the upgrades.""The support needs to be improved because I have found that even simple issues take a long time to be solved.""When it was deployed, it was challenging to manage."

More Dell Storage Resource Manager Cons →

"At present, OnCommand Unified Manager has just the monitoring and data protection features. It would be better to add some features for entire cluster management and storage management. Automation should also be included so that instead of separately accessing Unified Manager and OnCommand Workflow Automation, we can work in a single window. It is very much required.""There could be better performance in block storage and the GUI could be improved because not every operation is available. You need some operations in the CLI.""The tool is not intuitive and the menus are confusing, especially the snapshot view.""The solution lacks the ability to generate reports from Snapshot."
