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."It has contributed to the implementation of virtualization and all its benefits."
"The product is very stable."
"The technical support for EqualLogic has been universally outstanding."
"You can always trust it. It is stable."
"The solution has been working well overall."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution can scale."
"Dell EqualLogic PS series is a highly stable solution."
"The support is very good."
"Flexible and reliable storage solution with multiple features such as cloning, replication, and deduplication. Data migration can be done without any performance implications on the production systems."
"Other products lose performance over time, but NetApp OS is speed-optimized."
"The tool's most valuable features are ease of use, ease of access, expandability, availability, and performance. NVMe drives have improved their performance."
"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."
"The storage efficiency provided a maximum savings in our storage utilization."
"The most valuable features are the NAS features and NetApp's excellent support."
"The strong point is that our clients like this are RadLV (Radiology Low-Value). They also use SnapMirror and MetroCluster."
"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."
"Individual file recovery would be a nice additional feature."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is out of date and the new version has a lot of advanced features."
"The replication efficiency needs to be improved."
"We need more space and we can't get any."
"The searchable online documentation is missing."
"NetApp is costly when compared to Dell."
"The user interface could be improved."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern, so from an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made cheaper."
"We have some experience with older equipment end-of-life. For example, when warranty support stops or updates stop – it can be frustrating. Not all clients can buy a new filer every year or two, and NetApp ending support a bit quickly can be a concern."
"We are not able to connect to the support of NetApp from Sudan. We have to go through many agents for support, which makes it difficult."
"I think this kind of infrastructure is mostly obsolete. To keep up with developments in this space, you need to move all these features to an All-Flash solution."
"The biggest issue we face is parts delivery. There's no local warehouse in Myanmar, so if a customer encounters a technical problem like an IMEI issue, they have to wait a long time for replacement parts."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern, so from an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made cheaper."
