"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerVault is its ability to provide small to medium-range storage. It doesn't have any specific standout features, but it's great for applications, such as surveillance where a large number of videos need to be recorded and performance isn't a priority."
"It is an inexpensive storage solution."
"I like the tool's CloudIQ feature."
"The most valuable features are stability and response time."
"The Dell warranty is the most valuable feature."
"I find this solution to be cost-effective in providing data storage for clients."
"Dell PowerVault offers valuable full flash storage."
"Dell PowerVault is user-friendly and easy to deploy."
"HPE has reliable support for HDD replacement."
"There have been no fail-stop failures for the last five years."
"It is very stable."
"We could set up the installation through a web server, but it's not very reactive on the web server. For example, when you launch a task, and you don't know exactly if the task has begun or if the task is in progress, or if it's finished. You have to wait for three to five to ten minutes to be sure that the task is running or in progress or finished. So at that point, it's not very good."
"The product could support an NVMe hard disk."
"Sometimes integrating into a cluster can be difficult as you have to do it manually."
"I would like to see improvements made to the user interface."
"The tool needs to improve its UI."
"Dell PowerVault is block-oriented storage only."
"If the solution came with a synchronous application, it would be particularly advantageous for small businesses operating across multiple sites."
"The implementation process takes a while."
"Performance could probably be improve with faster controllers, but it is already an old device. We do have performance problems now, but it is a rather old device, so we have what we have."
