Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Enterprise SAN."I find this solution to be cost-effective in providing data storage for clients."
"The most valuable features are stability and response time."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Dell PowerVault is user-friendly and easy to deploy."
"Dell PowerVault is cheap."
"The stability is quite good. Once you deploy all the equipment, it's very stable."
"The storage has been good."
"It is an inexpensive storage solution."
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"The most valuable features for us are the ease of use, the reliability, and the exceptional deduplication that we get across that data that we store on those devices."
"Quick recovery."
"The solution saves a lot of storage capacity."
"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"The initial setup is one of the most user-friendly B2B user solutions. It's good, it's easy. Deployment usually takes less than one day. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"PowerVault doesn't integrate with Active Directory. Other storage solutions offer SAN and NAS unified storage in a single appliance, but PowerVault is only SAN."
"In most instances, clients are using Dell PowerVault with tape drives, but we want to transition them away from tape drives due to the risk of data loss."
"Sometimes integrating into a cluster can be difficult as you have to do it manually."
"We could set up the installation through a web server, but it's not very reactive on the web server. For example, when you launch a task, and you don't know exactly if the task has begun or if the task is in progress, or if it's finished. You have to wait for three to five to ten minutes to be sure that the task is running or in progress or finished. So at that point, it's not very good."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"I would like Dell to improve on the configuration of the disk groups. Only one group is expandable. Once you configure the other disk group types, you cannot expand them. It limits scalability. If you want maybe to grow a disk group, you lose information, and then you need to build it up again, which is not a good use case for customers."
"The product could support an NVMe hard disk."
"We need higher performance and more reliable storage."
"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed."
"We archive our backups on tape, so I feel like if we could somehow plug our tape drive directly into the StoreOnce device and set it up to where it would archive based on, if some kind of rules based engine or what have you, that would really be an improvement for us."
"The latency is a bit high."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"The setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
