"The stability is excellent."

"PowerVault comes with free software that performs functions like data deduplication and replication, which is cost-effective and delivers added value to the product."
"The initial setup was easy and simple."
"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerVault is its ability to provide small to medium-range storage. It doesn't have any specific standout features, but it's great for applications, such as surveillance where a large number of videos need to be recorded and performance isn't a priority."
"The stability is quite good. Once you deploy all the equipment, it's very stable."
"Both the pricing and the performance are excellent."
"The most valuable features of ExaGrid EX are the Veeam features and Landing Zone."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."

"Looking at Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain), there is a need for improvement, especially in terms of protection from cyber resiliency, cyber recovery, or man-in-the-middle attacks."
"The firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
"Dell PowerVault could improve by having a higher cache and file protocol support added."
"We could set up the installation through a web server, but it's not very reactive on the web server. For example, when you launch a task, and you don't know exactly if the task has begun or if the task is in progress, or if it's finished. You have to wait for three to five to ten minutes to be sure that the task is running or in progress or finished. So at that point, it's not very good."
"PowerVault doesn't integrate with Active Directory. Other storage solutions offer SAN and NAS unified storage in a single appliance, but PowerVault is only SAN."
"The product is generally stable, but there have been instances, to my knowledge, where we faced issues in the controller during software upgrades. The availability is not at the desired level during these upgrade processes, as we sometimes need to shut down both controllers. This could be an area for improvement."
"In the next release, I would like the deduplication and compression included, as well as the flash technology. It doesn't currently use it."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"The tool needs to improve its UI."
"PowerVault could be improved by increasing its memory cache capacity and adding the ability to export data to the cloud."
"The solution’s web access should be improved."
"I would like to see free disk space."
