"The solution has been working well overall."
"Dell's technical support is very good."
"We were attracted by the flexibility of being able to put in a new shelf whenever we needed to, to expand."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Better performance and lower costs."
"The solution is very stable and reliable"
"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 strong point is that our clients like this are RadLV (Radiology Low-Value). They also use SnapMirror and MetroCluster."
"NAS stability"
"Data consolidation and visualization."
"For us, the greatest aspect of the solution is the fact that it just runs. It is amazingly resilient. That's very important to us, because we are basically, with some exceptions, have a 24/7 operation."
"The solution is out of date and the new version has a lot of advanced features."
"Why is it not possible for both controllers to be simultaneously active (load balancing)?"
"The product is reaching the end-of-lifecycle."
"Dell EqualLogic PS series could improve the performance because in our hybrid configuration the read speed is faster than the write speed."
"The replication efficiency needs to be improved."
"Synchronous replication uses space inefficiently."
"There is no inline deduplication capability."
"Individual file recovery would be a nice additional feature."
"It's not a cheap system. It is very expensive. The pricing has been ridiculous every time that we had to renew the support."
"Its licensing cost can be improved."
"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."
"We're supposed to have used NetApp FAS Series for replication, but then one of the nodes failed, and then it's taken us some time to bring it up."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern, so from an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made cheaper."
"Dedicated storage efficiency accelerators could improve the overall performance of the system."
"Technical support needs to be improved, as there are no longer partners in our country."
"They should add new features to the product."
