"What is most valuable about the Dell EMC SC Series system was its reliability."
"We see very low latency with very high IOPS for mixed workloads."
"Most valuable features have been the system customization with it, the performance you receive, and their CoPilot Support (or Dell EMC Storage Support)."
"Technical support is very good. I do use it from time to time and it's always excellent."
"The user interface is good, I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"This solution is easy to use."
"The solution is stable; we've had no problems at all."
"Huawei has a lot of penetration into accounts in Islamabad and the whole region, especially in Islamabad, because this is where our capital is, this is where most of the government offices are."
"We can definitely see a need for it being a multi-controller system for customers who want to scale beyond the current capability. That's always a downside. A lot of the new systems are scaling vertically, they scale out, and the Compellent, of course, is controllers with shelves under it, so you don't scale out with it, unless you add another one. But if you do, they don't talk to each other, like some of the other solutions that we sell."
"The administration and support (on the way that they delivered) was a little bit slow."
"Overall, I'd like to see more synergy between Dell EMC's higher-tier platforms and their mid-tier platforms. What I have said, constantly, to my partners at Dell EMC is that the clear articulation of the path is really important to us. In that vein, what I'd also like to see is, with the migration strategy that's built into this product, a lot more attention paid to Dell's - in particular - legacy platforms and how we get from some of our legacy EMC platforms onto this platform with a straight-through migration and scaling strategy, not host-based migrations and not piecemeal... Dell EMC would do well to focus more on my ability to skip a generation, rather than having me take individual hops because I can't greenfield my way into a software-defined data center fast enough. This journey of multiple hops is not helpful."
"We had times that we needed a file service solution. We've used FluidFS, but it's a solution that is being transitioned out."
"The connection should be better integrated with the network to offer a better view of the system."
"The configuration could be easier in Dell EMC SC Series."
"I would like to improve the processing ability."
"The interface could be improved. It should have an application point of view."
"It is an expensive product. They should lower the price."
