"It is stable and scalable."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It has contributed to the implementation of virtualization and all its benefits."
"The technical support is very good."
"The solution has been working well overall."
"Technical support, when we had access to it, was very good."
"We were attracted by the flexibility of being able to put in a new shelf whenever we needed to, to expand."
"The replication feature provides another functionality to protect your data."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-tiering, which helps in the speed of data access."
"I really value deduplication and compression to save space."
"Integration with VMware"
"The implementation of both block and file system storage in a single GUI provides is better situated than most other storages."
"Good performance for VM environments"
"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."
"It is very stable even during multiple power failures."
"The solution is out of date and the new version has a lot of advanced features."
"The replication efficiency needs to be improved."
"We need more space and we can't get any."
"There is no option for mixing RAID types in one device."
"The searchable online documentation is missing."
"Individual file recovery would be a nice additional feature."
"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."
"Poor connection to FC."
"The scalability is average because the storage has some hardware limitations and, obviously, operating system limitations."
"EMC VNX needs to support bigger SSD and the Next Generation EMC Unity does this."
"There is no easy way to defrag a RAID group. It would be nice to be able to reduce the size of a storage pool if the storage is not needed anymore."
"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."
"VNX can improve by offering flexible upgrade options. It's not possible to add a single HDD to a current array and there are fixed rules to make upgrades."
"EMC VNX needs to support bigger SSDs. Next generation EMC Unity will do this."
