We performed a comparison between Dell SC Series and Hitachi Universal Storage VM [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The compression and deduplication features help to make the best use of the capacity."
"We have seen savings in our storage. The speed of deployment has gone from several days to a few minutes. This product has reduced that time into minutes, simplifying storage for us."
"The first year, we started out with one or five terabytes and it took what was 20 terabytes of storage down to less than one terabyte."
"What I like most about this solution, is the speed, resiliency and scalability."
"The code upgrades are very smooth."
"We like the data reduction rates. That has been really helpful. You get 4U of Pure storage replacing something like two racks of spinning disks. One of the things that has contributed to that are the data reduction rates."
"The support team is available all the time and they seem to know what they are doing."
"The job of support for the storage engineers dramatically changed. We know more quickly the automation of the provisioning. We can now focus on things that bring more value to the company than just managing storage."
"I've found the stability to be very good."
"It has been one of the most stable products in our data center."
"Most valuable features have been the system customization with it, the performance you receive, and their CoPilot Support (or Dell EMC Storage Support)."
"Its leading feature is the price-performance ratio, which is very good."
"We see very low latency with very high IOPS for mixed workloads."
"In terms of stability, it's good enough. It's okay."
"It had many features, like a snapshot, replication, on-the-file RAID levels, mix-and-match files, those kinds of things."
"The most valuable features are the with back-end dedupe, and the thin nodes. For a 20TB or 60TB, we're using almost a one-to-two ratio."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"In the next version of this program, I would like to see increased security, higher encryption, and faster throughput."
"I want to learn more about command line usage which I have not explored much yet. However, there are many automated solutions for repetitive tasks. I would like to see additional features like performance monitoring, configuring of alerts, and the customization of alert thresholds in the next release."
"The GUI could improve, it could be more intuitive. There is hidden functionality."
"Going forward, don't complicate things for the customers."
"The support for NFS protocols right out-of-the-box need improvement. I'm used to other storage vendors who have NFS support right out-of-the-box, and Pure Storage doesn't seem to have anything."
"They are doing some stuff with containers and an object search. These could be improved, because containers is one of the main topics that we are talking with our customers about."
"The higher education moves slowly. We are still looking forward to implementing the full list of existing features."
"I think replication is one area that still needs improvement. Earlier, Pure Storage FlashArray only had IP-based replication. There was no API-based replication, but they have enhanced the feature now. However, they need to work on API replication for C-type of arrays."
"The ease of use could be improved. It took me a while to learn it."
"Compellent comes in the form of a component that's not true of a unified storage platform."
"What I understand is that this is a 13 year old architecture, so it has lived its life and they're phasing it out. Honestly, we were initially struggling with the integration with VMware (but it was fixed with the VMware 6.5) and, then, it was around a 10GB network. At that time, it had the longevity to go to 100GB as well. It got us thinking about, when we go into the containerized architecture, what do we need to do to fix the infrastructure?"
"Dell could improve the upgrading process."
"I would like to have 100% functionality through the web app."
"This solution could be improved if overall performance was improved and operated with a higher speed and supported a higher volume of RAM."
"I would like to improve the processing ability."
"The cost of the solution could be better."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
