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."It is extremely reliable."
"Technical support, when we had access to it, was very good."
"The product is very stable."
"It is stable and scalable."
"It has contributed to the implementation of virtualization and all its benefits."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution can scale."
"The solution has been working well overall."
"Saves space with deduplication"
"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."
"The replication feature is noteworthy because it's faster than most and it uses little bandwidth. Then there's the friendly interface that the equipment offers. With this interface, it is very easy to manage."
"We can manage our applications from a single dashboard."
"It has integrated snapshot and backup capability."
"The most valuable feature is SnapMirror."
"The solution is very stable and reliable"
"The most valuable features are compression and dedupe."
"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."
"Synchronous replication uses space inefficiently."
"Individual file recovery would be a nice additional feature."
"We need more space and we can't get any."
"Dell EqualLogic PS series could improve by providing fiber channel connectivity. Fiber channel connectivity is not supported, which is a requirement of advanced applications, such as SAP HANA. SAP HANA recommends fiber channel connectivity, but the Dell EqualLogic PS series is only an ISCSI data storage."
"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."
"There is no inline deduplication capability."
"NetApp FAS Series should improve its price, which is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"If our customer needs a high-performance storage solution then we don't recommend this product."
"It may need more flexibility to fight with other competing arrays."
"I would like to see less latency and higher IOPS."
"Currently, the newest release is not HCI friendly."
"The product must support more drives."
