We performed a comparison between Dell PowerStore and Hitachi VSP E Series based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NVMe All-Flash Storage Arrays solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The connections are a lot faster than what we had in the past. One InfiniBand does what we did on all of our Fibre Channels."
"As soon as we introduced our first Pure Storage FlashArray, the first benefit was at least twice the performance increase. Our production databases simply ran twice as fast with no other change."
"What I like most about this solution, is the speed, resiliency and scalability."
"The initial setup was straightforward in the way that it was a database vacuum storage."
"The ease of management is one of the most valuable features of this solution. I would have also said that it's pretty fast but now our SQL servers are starting to beat it up pretty bad."
"We consume less physical storage because of the solution’s deduplication and compression."
"Its array houses our entire production environment."
"Technical support is excellent. I've had very good responses from technical support. We had a couple of cases where we needed support. Some of the communications were purely over email and some has been an actual call to the service desk."
"It has its own file formatting protocol, which saves a lot of space."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution for me is the deduplication part, especially since most of the servers in our organization are Windows-based servers."
"The support is very good."
"I find all of the Dell PowerStore features to be valuable."
"It is very easy to use. Access is very friendly. It shows you a lot of important information at the first glance. It has been very easy to use."
"I like the performance of the PowerStore. When you talk about PowerStore, it's mainly about flash systems and high-end IOPS. The 1000T is a midsize box, in terms of the way the vendor positions it, but it is more than enough for our needs."
"When compared to Pure Storage, Dell PowerStore's cost was quite attractive."
"We are using the Hitachi VSP E Series for high IOPS."
"Its user-friendly configuration and maintenance processes contribute to its reputation for being straightforward and easily manageable."
"It offers good file sharing."
"The setup needs to be improved the most. They can do a little more with the user interface, but the setup is what I would like to see made a bit easier."
"The product should improve its response time. I have also encountered issues with its configuration."
"The connectivity needs improvement. You do not have the possibility to have a file and block connectivity at the same time on the same machine. It has limited ability to do so."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve by being more secure."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"Self-backup is the only feature lacking in this solution."
"It is not possible to create a cluster on top of multiple arrays."
"I would like to see more cloud integration."
"We are happy with the service in general. The only thing would be the price of the platform."
"We are looking for the Dell PowerStore to become more mature to maximize our use cases."
"There are certain shortcomings with the technical support team of Dell PowerStore, where improvements are required."
"When you create a case on Dell's support website, you don't always get someone who is experienced in the kind of systems you need help with...making it an area where Dell's support team needs to make improvements."
"You cannot delegate permissions."
"While using Dell PowerStore's interface in our organization, we sometimes miss out on some information."
"The upgrades themselves are running fine, but after the upgrade is when we have a problem. With the update to 1.4, we had a head crash. They told us, 'This is a known issue. Please upgrade to 2.' We upgraded to 2 and, one week later they told us, 'Yeah, there are some issues in 2.0.0. You can lose data. Please upgrade to 2.0.1.' Overall, they need to make the system stable."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"The solution's support duration or end-of-support life is very short."
"The graphical user interface is somewhat outdated, lacking some of the modern features found in other solutions."
"There is room for improvement in simplifying the overall complexity of the environment."
