"The most valuable features are the interface and performance."
"It works with our replication technology, which is not SRDF, which is native replication technology."
"I like the many new features, especially the all-flash solution."
"It is an expensive product. They should lower the price."
"The GUI isn't as user-friendly as other options."
"The solution should embedded replication switches into the hardware instead of using them externally."
"The cluster support should be improved."
"I'd like to see improvements where we can scale out an existing array and remove older controllers\drives\etc., within the same subsystem."
"Better speed to release new features that have become industry standards. EMC created so many standards in the past. Now, it seems they are playing a me-too game and lagging behind in some areas, specifically data reduction."
"Resilience replication, reporting, and performance need to be improved."
"The way you configure larger size volumes needs improvement."
"I would like to see support for high-availability."
"The pricing is a bit expensive. That is the reason we are now currently we are looking for other solutions. That's the reason we are looking at AFF and Unity. We are also considering PowerStore."
