"The performance is good."
"What I like best about Dell ECS is its stability. I also like that you can use it for large-scale data purposes. The solution works fine for me, and I haven't encountered any issues with it."
"The solution is simple and robust."
"It is a highly scalable solution."
"Nutanix Objects is reliable."
"We have been able to save local disk space by using Data Lens. We upload 18 GB to the cloud and are able to save 20% to 25%."
"It gives more security that the data isn't going to get lost."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"The most valuable features are the interface and support."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage are the unified dashboard and the ease of administration."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The solution could be more cost-effective and secure."
"They need to ensure that the system will work if a site goes down."
"The initial setup is not so easy."
"They do not have complete documentation, which is very weak and could be improved."
"Dell ECS needs to improve its performance."
"If Dell ECS would be available as standalone software, so you can use any hardware with it, would make the solution better. It would also be good if Dell ECS had more integrations with other products."
"It is a good solution, except for the cost."
"The GUI is not user-friendly for new users and has room for improvement."
"The interface is not logical. It should be a little simpler."
"The current hardware is not as dense as it could be. In our deployment, we have 2 PB per site, and we have to have 24 nodes. That's a lot of cabling and network ports that we use up. More dense nodes would be better."
"Lowering the price would improve this product."
"It is challenging to configure access control settings."
"The graphical user interface could provide more detail. It would be nice if we could click on the service and get some expanded definitions of them. When hiring new people, it's difficult to teach them how everything works, but if they can access everything, they can teach themselves."
"I would like to see the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. That could definitely be a major breakthrough in providing a unified, seamless experience for end-users. It could reduce costs as well as human effort."
"We have issues with software updates occasionally."
