Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The predictive performance analytics is a very good feature, as our system is performing better than before."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support."
"It helps simplify storage. When you're running Pure all-flash, you don't have to do a lot of the old Oracle best practices. You don't have to worry about putting log files on a different disk channel than the data files, and those types of issues... That has made it vastly easier to do large volumes, rapid provisioning in databases, without taking a performance hit."
"The initial setup was really straight forward."
"The amount of data that I have moved to it from legacy storage has enabled us to retire units that are three or four times the physical size."
"Because we were able to afford to go all flash, we don't manage the tiers, we're not moving data up, and we're not waiting for overnight cycles."
"I use all the features of this solution and I find them to be easy to use and functional, such as the compression and capacity to expand."
"Processes that used to take 40 minutes to two hours can be completed in five minutes."
"The support is very good."
"The administration tools take advantage of machine learning and make recommendations to the admins, and that makes the administration easier."
"For access from virtual machines, iSCSI, and NFS, it is very good. It helps increase performance."
"I have found the most valuable part of Dell PowerStore is the price."
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The solution is easy to use and has good performance."
"It has its own file formatting protocol, which saves a lot of space."
"Currently, the features of replication and deduplication have been very important to us."
"It offers rich features and high speed for transferring data."
"The tool's notable feature is that we don't need to log a case directly with the vendor. The tool has access to all the logs on-premises. This is an on-premises solution. Additionally, we can provision data as thick or thin provisioned. Moreover, it includes data grid duplication and compression features."
"On a couple of occasions, the waiting time for an upgrade has been pretty substantial."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see automated copy data management for SQL Server."
"It needs to improve its price."
"I would love for them to have a hyper-converged solution."
"We would like to see more development on their Copy Automation Tool (CAT) for Oracle, as well as better integration for our customers running Oracle VM."
"Going forward, don't complicate things for the customers."
"The price could be better."
"Pricing could be better in comparison to other solutions."
"PowerStore's management console could be improved."
"I have not seen anything specific. The only thing I can think of that needs improvement is the price."
"We would consider this solution if the pricing is competitive with other options, as it offers a very good solution. However, the current price is slightly higher than the competition."
"The pricing could be lower. It is very expensive."
"It needs more mature code."
"Data reduction needs improvement."
"The customer service and support are bad."
"The only area I can highlight for improvement is that the 4:1 data reduction target has not been reached. This may be due to an issue with Dell EMC's initial analysis of data compression. As a result, we have had to add new physical disks to reach our goal of total available disk space."
"It would be better if there were an option to incorporate the NVMe feature alongside other storage tiers. Currently, the system operates on Autotier but can manually peer and mix different types of drives, such as SAS and SATA drives."
"We had some issues while installing it on our servers. It required more resources while cross-checking. So, the initial setup process could be better."
