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."The technical support for EqualLogic has been universally outstanding."
"It is stable and scalable."
"You can always trust it. It is stable."
"Dell's technical support is very good."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution has been working well overall."
"It is extremely reliable."
"The technical support is very good."
"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."
"Data consolidation and visualization."
"The tool's most valuable features are ease of use, ease of access, expandability, availability, and performance. NVMe drives have improved their performance."
"The strong point is that our clients like this are RadLV (Radiology Low-Value). They also use SnapMirror and MetroCluster."
"The migration of the volume on the cluster is very useful and easy to use."
"Most valuable features are its ease of use, robust Snapshot functionality, and that you can use it in two datacenters with SnapMirror-ing."
"The file sharing feature is most valuable."
"It is good to have a unified storage where you can have block and file level protocols."
"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"The solution is out of date and the new version has a lot of advanced features."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."
"Dell EqualLogic PS series could improve the performance because in our hybrid configuration the read speed is faster than the write speed."
"The product is reaching the end-of-lifecycle."
"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."
"There is no option for mixing RAID types in one device."
"We need more space and we can't get any."
"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."
"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."
"When getting new hardware, always tell the account manager that you are also considering other brands. They will be forced to adjust the price lower."
"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."
"Needs to improve the adaptive storage quality of service."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern, so from an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made cheaper."
"Cost is always a factor. Some people choose EMC or Dell because they perceive NetApp as being more expensive."
"Replication should ideally be part of the ONTAP base bundle."
