Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Enterprise SAN."For us, the initial setup was easy."
"The stability is quite good. Once you deploy all the equipment, it's very stable."
"The solution is reliable and stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is easy to manage and easy to use."
"Dell PowerVault offers valuable full flash storage."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to set up PowerVault. I also like the provisioning of storage."
"I like the tool's CloudIQ feature."
"The Dell warranty is the most valuable feature."
"I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."
"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues. Importantly, there were no substantial ongoing concerns. Regarding the overall performance, it has been consistently excellent."
"I would like to see improvements made to the user interface."
"PowerVault could be improved by increasing its memory cache capacity and adding the ability to export data to the cloud."
"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."
"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."
"If the solution came with a synchronous application, it would be particularly advantageous for small businesses operating across multiple sites."
"There have been situations when our customers requested professional support and the price of that feature is quite high."
"We need higher performance and more reliable storage."
"Sometimes integrating into a cluster can be difficult as you have to do it manually."
"Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas."
"The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."
