"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The technical support for EqualLogic has been universally outstanding."
"If you have one datacenter fail, the VMs will start to run inside the other data center."
"Dell's technical support is very good."
"The technical support is very good."
"At the moment, we use NetApp SnapMirror to replicate data to another filer at an offsite location for backup. So, I like this feature."
"The most valuable feature is SnapMirror."
"The support is very good."
"The solution is stable."
"The tool's most valuable features are ease of use, ease of access, expandability, availability, and performance. NVMe drives have improved their performance."
"The solution is stable."
"NAS stability"
"Fast Snapshots"
"The product is reaching the end-of-lifecycle."
"The replication efficiency needs to be improved."
"The performance isn't as good as, for example, Nimble."
"The solution is out of date and the new version has a lot of advanced features."
"The searchable online documentation is missing."
"Dell EqualLogic PS series could improve the performance because in our hybrid configuration the read speed is faster than the write speed."
"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."
"Cluster mode needs to be more ubiquitous."
"There are some technical limitations, but it would be great to have in-line deduplication and in-line compression for the FAS series as well."
"The solution's configuration is not flexible."
"The solution can improve on the replication features."
"Interfacing with the cloud environment could be better. I want to be able to move some cloud volume and integrate it seamlessly with my home on-premise storage. Sometimes I have issues with port permissions. NetApp probably needs to improve more on the integration side from on-premise to the cloud."
"NetApp FAS Series should introduce an FTP application for the broadcast and post-production market."
"We no longer have OEM support in South Africa which is not helpful, it can be difficult. They should add an office back to the country because it was better."
"The user interface could be improved."
