You can set thresholds as well as alerts based on the thresholds, which is a very powerful functionality. They are very proactive. They know how to monitor and manage the systems. They see a problem, and they are all over it before us. They see the problem before we see it, which is very good."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is easy to use and has good performance."
"Currently, the features of replication and deduplication have been very important to us."
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"This solution is highly flexible and offers efficient online compression capabilities."
"Has a great mapping feature."
"Reliable, with comprehensive features and a well-established support base."
"The main feature of Dell PowerStore is its support for NVMe as well as hybrid solutions."
"The product offers good performance."
"This is a stable product that we can use for DR in production."
"The platform’s most valuable features are speed, accuracy, and encryption."
"I've been satisfied with the level of attention I'm given when I reach out to technical support."
"The initial setup is straightforward. Deployment takes about a day."
"The performance is good."
"The majority of our customers find this solution simple to use."
"The customer support is helpful."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"Our use cases require more multi-tenant capabilities and additional VLAN interfaces for separating different customers. We currently use it to provide storage, sometimes shared storage, to different customers, but it is less flexible in comparison to a dedicated solution."
"The software layer has to improve."
"The storage could be improved. I would like a feature for how to best secure an appliance and the storage since we are connecting the container to the public cloud. I would like them to develop another level of security, making it more secure than from what they have now."
"While using Dell PowerStore's interface in our organization, we sometimes miss out on some information."
"The cost of technical support is high."

"After the smooth launch of the product in our company, only the areas around upgrades are a bit problematic. In our organization, we face difficulties when updating the product."
"The only area I can highlight for improvement is that the 4:1 data reduction target has not been reached. This may be due to an issue with Dell EMC's initial analysis of data compression. As a result, we have had to add new physical disks to reach our goal of total available disk space."
"It was very new when we first deployed it a year ago. Even the upgrade processes and knowing what to expect, as well as documentation, could be more robust."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado's biggest weakness is its lack of cloud integration."
"I would really like to see Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization in a future release."
"An area of this product that has room for improvement is the NAS capability."
"The solution's price could be better."
"The localization problem needs to be improved."
"There are some limitations to this product because they do not have unified storage."
"The user interface of Huawei OceanStor Dorado could be more user-friendly. Other solutions, such as EMC, have a better user interface."
