"Dell PowerScale's performance is good."
"The solution is stable."
"PowerScale allows us to manage storage without managing RAID groups or migrating volumes between controllers. It has really simplified things. We're not having to worry about the underlying infrastructure. That takes care of itself. We just worry about the data. It's really easy for deploying and managing storage at the petabyte scale."
"The best thing is that it works. We don't have to maintain it too much; we usually upgrade once a year."
"Our main goal is to do disaster recovery with whatever solution we use and Isilon makes it pretty simple to replicate those workloads over to our secondary data center."
"The solution has simplified management by consolidating our workloads. Rather than managing all the different workloads on different storage arrays, Windows Servers, etc., we just have one place per data centre where we manage all their unstructured data, saving us time."
"The flexibility and the user-friendly interface are the most valuable features."
"This solution allows me to better and more easily manage user data without impacting my primary storage."
"I like the user quotas, integrations, and separations for storage."
"I can use both the on-premises and cloud storage options. I need to have an APR extension from StoreEasy, and it's that simple."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the duplication."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreEasy is the storing of virtual machines."
"I like the tool's provisioning feature and OneView."
"The solution isn't suitable for small environments or small customers."

"Data storage performance needs to be improved."
"If they integrated some functions, as they have on Data Domain with a cyber recovery vault, it would be ideal."
"The legacy file system for Epsilon didn't scale into the cloud and didn't have a separate OS. It would be key if this was made possible."
"Dell PowerScale's deployment is not easy."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The cost of Dell PowerScale is currently high and there is room for improvement."
"I would like to improve the tool's technical support. I would also like to see the product's hybrid cloud version."
"The support of HPE StoreEasy can improve its responsiveness. Dell support is better."
"We need some monitoring tools and it would be helpful if they were included."
"It would be better if it were more scalable. In the next release, I would like to access some Microsoft Windows storage server features. I guess the newest version of Windows Server has some restrictions."
"The cluster service is not available in the latest version of HPE StoreEasy."
"When I configure the StoreEasy in a complex environment I have problems finding compatibility with all the software."
