Find out in this report how the two Storage Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Storage virtualization and geographic resilience for Metro Sans, plus a great performance improvement."
"The best feature of VPLEX storage is its ability to consolidate storage. It also provides the highest RPO and RTOs for replication technology. VPLEX enables application mobility."
"The most valuable feature is deduplication, as we have no duplication in the snapshots."
"Dell's technical support is awesome. We received instant support from EMC as long as we had an active contract."
"Its mirroring capabilities allow for data to be mirrored across two different data centers, so if one center were to crash or fail, the other center could take over and keep everything running smoothly."
"Mobility enables us to carry out an internal migration of data."
"The capacity to migrate machines onto VPLEX is great — it's very clean. We can migrate machines and add arrays easily."
"The solution works well. It's very reliable."
"NetApp BlueXP makes it easier to deliver products and manage inventory."
"The primary benefit is that it simplifies data management. We face a lot of classification issues with our customers. They need to classify data, but they don't know how to do it. We can help them do it using BlueXP Datasense."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to view all our different systems in one place. That's the most important feature for us."
"The price is a problem with EMC due to the fact that it's more expensive than the other vendors."
"With Dell VPLEX, there are some bugs with Broadcom."
"The initial setup is complex."
"I would like to have site-to-site replication capability for applications."

"Dell VPLEX should improve its integration and user interface and be easier to configure."
"VPLEX hardware migration to spare equipment in case of major disruption."
"There can be delays in getting performance reports."
"Performance could be a little better. In my opinion, it's a bit slow. If you click on something, it takes a while for the data to load."
"The tool needs to make its licensing pages more user-friendly."
"The VMware capabilities can be improved."
