We performed a comparison between Dell EqualLogic PS series and NetApp FAS Series based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Modular SAN (Storage Area Network) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Technical support, when we had access to it, was very good."
"The technical support for EqualLogic has been universally outstanding."
"It has contributed to the implementation of virtualization and all its benefits."
"It is extremely reliable."
"The product is very stable."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Dell's technical support is very good."
"If you have one datacenter fail, the VMs will start to run inside the other data center."
"NAS stability"
"The solution is stable."
"You can use different protocols at the same time. Monitoring is also very easy in NetApp FAS Series. There is a free tool for monitoring."
"The SnapMirror is a good tool because, as long as you're going NetApp to NetApp, it's ultimately the fastest way to move data. We replicate everything to another site for disaster recovery."
"Snapshot, deduplication, and compression features are valuable."
"It is very flexible. It integrates well with the public cloud and other components, so everything can be API driven. Therefore, it is very easy to automate it."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It changed the way we do Disaster Recovery (DR) around NetApp replication."
"Individual file recovery would be a nice additional feature."
"The performance isn't as good as, for example, Nimble."
"If I need to have more space or more capacity, I need to replace the product. It would be ideal if we could scale without replacing the box itself."
"6510 and 6610 have two iSCSI connections in each controller. Why do 6110xxx members have only one, and why do the same members have the possibility of having an active iSCSI interface in the passive controller? It could make a lot of noise with a failover."
"It is at the end of support and no longer supported. We have to move our VMware to another storage platform, and we have decided to use Dell PowerStore. We like Dell's products, and it is a new platform with a lot of features."
"The solution is out of date and the new version has a lot of advanced features."
"Synchronous replication uses space inefficiently."
"I can't buy any more solutions provided by EqualLogic...Since I can't buy it anymore, I don't receive any updates on the solution. Also, this is the last year in which one can buy support for the solution."
"The NetApp FAS Series is not as high-performing and is not as fast. Its speed needs improvement, but this could only be done if it's an all-flash solution."
"For long term partnership in Myanmar, the local warehouse should be built in Myanmar that's something I'd like to see. We have some issues with supply so there is sometimes a delay in getting the hardware."
"The user interface could be improved."
"NetApp FAS Series could improve by being more secure."
"It lacks automatic tiering, When you use data, some of it goes cold. It is not hot data, so the system should automatically move that data to the SATA, while the hot data is kept on tier-one, the SaaS or SSD drives."
"The only downside is in ease in management; it is not easy to use."
"As I see it, there could be more interfaces, more cache, etc."
"Currently, the newest release is not HCI friendly."
