We performed a comparison between Dell PowerMax NVMe and Reduxio [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The solution offers amazing performance."
"One of the features that my customers are really interested in is immutable snapshots. There are immutable snapshots to which your applications can be reverted back if you are hit by some kind of ransomware threat or malicious attack. That's kind of a key deal, and it is one of the selling points I use to point out to my customers the value and the features that Pure Storage brings to the table."
"Cost, racial per terabyte, and speed is why we chose PureStorage. It was no brainer."
"The most valuable feature is test performance. It helps us store large amounts of data along with providing us faster retrieval of data."
"We've had different types of storage, and three things of this solution are valuable. The first one is its outstanding performance. The second one is its stability. In the about three years that we've had it, we've had component failures, but we never had a service interruption or any data loss. The third one, which is really critical, is that it is super easy to use in terms of provisioning, storage, and managing the arrays. I'm able to maintain a multi-site environment with a couple of dozen arrays with a single mid-level storage admin."
"The product cheaper compared to other solutions concerning the technology that they are using."
"It has made working with storage as easy and simple as it should be."
"We also like the compactness, the small footprint. It takes up very little space in a data center and uses little power."
"The number one most valuable feature is reliability. I want to go home at the end of the day and come in the next day knowing it works, especially since we have storage offshore."
"You can use PowerMax for all workloads and consolidation. We have used it to scale thousands of VMs."
"The SRDF replication piece is probably the best feature. It's useful for maintaining recoverability in the event of a disaster."
"The UI is very easy to use. We can add volumes and manage them easily."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Uptime by far is the most important thing, and also the replication ability (SRDF). Most of the customers who need this type of availability also want the protection of multiple data centers, and it is able to easily switchover workloads to their other data centers."
"The solution has good operability and easy scalability."
"My storage engineers are very happy with PowerMax. They are very pleased with the performance, decreased latency, and dependability. From the team, the RESTful API makes management so much easier for them versus the command line interface."
"Ease of use, time to market and scalability are all advantages. We can install new software and new applications in no time. That means we don't need buy a new shelf or new disks, just create a virtual machine and the system does everything behind the scenes."
"Reduxio delivers a self-contained system with all of the features rolled in and functional."
"It needs integration with cloud vendors for remote storage, and to be able to restore a single machine from a specific volume."
"In the event of a deletion, corruption, or ransomware, I am never going to lose more than one second of changes."
"We were also pleased to learn that Reduxio also has, beside dedup and compression that actually works, the "time machine" built in, which allows you to go back a few seconds or a few minutes before a ransomware attack gets you."
"We like the way the Reduxio is designed, the way the managing/operating end is just so much easier; fewer steps, more intuitive steps. It has a number of features baked into it that, in other products, are additional licensed components, like compression and dedupe."
"Reduxio allows you just spin a dial and go back to just about any time… in most cases (depending on the policies you’ve set) to go back within one second granularity for a couple weeks in the past."
"Ease of user interface: prevents distractions and confusion when dealing with real-time catastrophes and high-pressure situations. Overall, it extremely easy to use. My team was trained within less than two hours."
"I can't see where they can make anything better, unless, of course, they lower their prices even more."
"We would like to see more cloud support, which we know is coming, although it's not out yet. It's going to be released in the next versions. That would be the biggest win, if additional cloud support is built into the array."
"I would like to see more detailed reporting on the data. However, it would be nice to know what are the exact VMs usage after deduplication and/or what that VMs actual latency and bandwidth is, outside of VMware."
"In the next version of this program, I would like to see increased security, higher encryption, and faster throughput."
"They should work on their upgrades, they're not smooth."
"There's always an opportunity for new feature functionality."
"When we were doing some tests, we found that there was an I/O freeze when they were switching the controller."
"I would like some form of QoS implemented. As a service provider, it would be beneficial to have it."
"We have issues that we don't know about, which Dell EMC fixes."
"Dell should work on their marketing strategies to make the product more visible on the market. They should promote the product's compatibility with IBM, as not everyone knows it."
"They should work with the storage engineers to better tweak the management tools to give them improved visibility into their data."
"I think management is where PowerMax is weakest. We're still managing it like we managed EMC arrays in the early 2000s. There's a slicker, fancier GUI that does more things, but at the end of the day, you still have to dig into the command line and issue a lot of the same commands that we still were using almost 20 years ago."
"The initial setup process is difficult."
"Dell needs to offer more midrange storage options with enterprise-class features similar to the PowerMAX."
"I believe it would be of great benefit to work on the customization of the pricing structure for different enterprises and their specific needs."
"Since the merging of EMC and Dell into Dell Technologies, there has been a hurdle that they've had to overcome, and they're not over it yet. It takes two to three times longer for things to get fixed than it did when they were separate companies. That is something that has to be fixed."
"Needs some hooks into cloud storage for backup. Also they should update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource."
"t would be helpful to have a mobile app to monitor the storage array remotely."
"If Reduxio could manage multiple Reduxio systems within the same dashboard, or manage them as a single mode, it be very, very helpful for us."
"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."
"Integration is needed with other virtual vendors like VMware, Veeam, Hyper-V; that integration needs to be deeper, not just the way that they're using it now. I know that it's under development, but I think this is one of the disadvantages, for now, as a young company. They have to work with the other players on the market."
"They're trying to do this, but they need to show more what their growth plan is, the development, what the next steps are, the future."
"I am waiting on a feature set in the new version which should allow me to replicate between Reduxio iSCSI SANs for disaster recovery and also to 3rd party iSCSI SANs which are cheaper for an archive or DR target."
"The latest release limits web access to the admin console via Chrome only, and that's a bit of a hassle. Would definitely prefer something less restrictive there."
