Haseeb Sheikh

Senior Manager Enterprise Solutions at a media company with 201-500 employees

Proactive monitoring has improved availability and capacity reporting for my infrastructure

The current features including availability, performance, and capacity are good enough, and I think more of better alerting along with improved thresholds of alerts should be implemented. It is helpful, but it should also include the capability to detect zero-day attacks if there are any. I think the remediation could have been better. For example, if I am upgrading my firmware or BIOS or firmware of the infrastructure, it should give me exact CVSS scores and remediation data provided against the CVSS scores. I think the Dell CloudIQ app could be more interactive. If there is a possibility that I can open tickets or SRs via the Dell CloudIQ app, that would be a good feature.

Engineer at a legal firm with 201-500 employees

Provides a stable solution but would improve by developing an all-in-one-solution

The advice I would give to anyone looking at implementing Netreo into their organization would be to do your market research and evaluate the product, do not just choose it because someone recommends it to you. Overall, from my perspective, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I use Dell CloudIQ for the availability and capacity reporting, which is very helpful in terms of capacity and availability reporting, and if there is any fault or faulty drive or faulty part, I am alerted on time with that, which is the main benefit that avoids any unplanned outage."

"CloudIQ allows us to monitor our servers centrally, and we can receive notifications in case of issues, like a potential hard drive failure."

"The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud."

"Has really nice roll-up dashboards."

"It's convenient because you can access it from a mobile device without needing a laptop."

"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."

"Some of the most valuable features of CloudIQ include its health status alerts, which allow you to see quickly if there is something that needs immediate attention, preventing the need to check each system individually."

"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."

More Dell CloudIQ pros

"The technical support team at Netreo is pretty good."

Cons

"The process of upgrading could be streamlined."

"Getting through support has become a difficult thing. Dell's support has degraded since they took over EMC. It's a bit difficult to use."

"If you have a heterogeneous environment, there might be some limitations in coverage since CloudIQ is primarily designed for Dell-based infrastructures."

"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."

"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."

"It can improve the reporting facility to create custom reports or dashboards."

"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."

"There is a need for improvement in predictive maintenance, which I assume is somewhat AI-driven."

More Dell CloudIQ cons

"The scalability of Netreo is lacking."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe it is a free product because we don't pay for it."

"The solution is more expensive than NetApp which offers file systems in various price ranges."
