IT Manager at a government with 10,001+ employees5.0I extensively use Dell PowerScale to host forensic data, finding its multi-protocol support and performance invaluable.

Senior Consultant at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees4.5We use Dell PowerScale (Isilon) mainly for archiving and log management. It's easy to manage, and we are satisfied due to good ROI and minimal issues. However, I'd like more on-premises services and analytics for data insights.
Storage & Data Protection Specialist at General Dynamics Land Systems4.5We use Dell PowerScale (Isilon) for SMB and NFS storage, appreciating its UI and scripting capabilities for automation. While behind on AI integration plans, it's faster and more user-friendly than previous solutions, providing a good ROI.
Senior Infrastructure Specialist at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees4.0Our healthcare storage utilizes Dell PowerScale (Isilon) for storing radiology images since 2018.

Director, Information & Communication Technology & Digital Transformation at a educational organization with 201-500 employees4.5For our genetics team, we needed about 4 petabytes of storage, and Dell PowerScale's capacity and scalability impressed us immediately. Although we're new to it, we've had a positive experience, despite handling our own implementation compared to using NetApp.
IT Manager at Regional Health Services4.0We use Dell PowerScale mainly for archiving as a large NAS. Its valuable features include snapshots and malware monitoring, though costs and maintenance complexity need improvement. While it provides ROI, we find Pure Storage more cost-effective and are planning a switch by 2026.
