"I am happy about the storage system and availability."
"The product has great data storage performance with a 100% data security and availability guarantee."
"The first thing that attracted this model to us was the non-disruptive migration. We had a very large database application that was on older gear and needed to be migrated to these arrays. We had experience with virtualizing behind an array and moving applications and data but this made it even better."

"For mission critical issues the performance is low."
"We've only faced some minor issues. For example, the documentation of some features isn't as detailed as we would like."
"We moved away from this product because we were looking for an all-flash solution, and with our G1500 at the time, perhaps two years ago, they were just proposing more of the same technology."
"In terms of what could be improved, it could use a better, faster web console and other consoles. It is so boring waiting, waiting and waiting for it to refresh."
"The solution is stable. However, there have been some software crashes where we had to restart the system. They could improve the hardware to prevent this type of issue."
"The complex setup, ease of use, and snapshot operations of this product need to be improved."
