We performed a comparison between Dell EqualLogic PS series and VNX [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Modular SAN (Storage Area Network)."It has contributed to the implementation of virtualization and all its benefits."
"Dell EqualLogic PS series is a highly stable solution."
"The technical support is very good."
"Technical support, when we had access to it, was very good."
"The solution has been working well overall."
"The solution can scale."
"Dell's technical support is very good."
"The technical support for EqualLogic has been universally outstanding."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-tiering, which helps in the speed of data access."
"The replication feature provides another functionality to protect your data."
"High availability including non-disruptive updates: We cannot afford downtime windows."
"Multi-tiering, positively affects the efficiency of the storage space."
"It is very stable even during multiple power failures."
"I really value deduplication and compression to save space."
"The most valuable feature is the tight VMware integration, due to the migration from bare metal to virtualized environments and then on to the cloud."
"One of the best features of the VNX is the ability to combine drives of different types into a virtual Storage Pool. By combining small but fast flash drives, SAS drives, and high-capacity but slower NL-SAS drives, the VNX can intelligently move data to the different tiers of storage based on usage."
"The replication efficiency needs to be improved."
"Individual file recovery would be a nice additional feature."
"Synchronous replication uses space inefficiently."
"The solution is out of date and the new version has a lot of advanced features."
"The product is reaching the end-of-lifecycle."
"There is no inline deduplication capability."
"Why is it not possible for both controllers to be simultaneously active (load balancing)?"
"The searchable online documentation is missing."
"EMC VNX needs to support bigger SSDs. Next generation EMC Unity will do this."
"Poor connection to FC."
"Based on our workloads, we see repeatedly in performance reports that the built-in controller (SP) cache of our VNX model is not sufficiently large, resulting in forced cache flushing."
"The CLI could be better documented, like with VMAX."
"Intel Xeon processors with under 2 GHz processing speeds could be replaced with more recent ones."
"EMC VNX needs to support bigger SSD and the Next Generation EMC Unity does this."
"If the VNX had embedded encryption, that would be great."
"The management software used for the VNX is Unicenter. While it is an improvement over Navicenter, used in older EMC SANs, it still feels outdated in comparison to other SAN management software."
