"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 storage has been good."
"The initial setup was easy and simple."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to set up PowerVault. I also like the provisioning of storage."
"The Dell warranty is the most valuable feature."
"The stability is quite good. Once you deploy all the equipment, it's very stable."
"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerVault is its performance."
"I find this solution to be cost-effective in providing data storage for clients."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"This product has good performance."
"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 price of the solution could be lower."
"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."
"Dell PowerVault is block-oriented storage only."
"Dell PowerVault could improve by having a higher cache and file protocol support added."
"The implementation process takes a while."
"We need higher performance and more reliable storage."
"The high prices of the solution are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
