Resilience has supported proactive management and secured audit readiness across multiple sites
The resilience in Dell PowerStore benefits my company from an auditing perspective because we know we have that resilience in place. I see Dell PowerStore playing a bigger role in the future because we are starting to use it more, and that is pushing it. The biggest return on investment for me when using Dell PowerStore is scalability. Scalability is key. I can amplify that scalability is the biggest return on investment because we have redundancy between two sites; if something goes down, we have to manage it, but we want to do it proactively.

Good performance, suitable for big data, but the response time could be improved
The primary use case for this product is high-performance storage This product has good performance. It is similar to the Dell PowerMax and Pure Storage FlashArray. The InfiniBox has three active controllers. The response time for read requests can be improved. It is not as good as the solution…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For the moment, our evaluation of Dell PowerStore is really good; there are no production incidents, it is perfect for us, and Dell PowerStore is well designed for our active-active multi–data center solution."
"Dell PowerStore is a mid-range product that can suit small companies and provides good IOPS and performance."
"The solution is very easy to implement."
"Dell PowerStore built-in integrations are important for my customers because they can control most of the features in a single dashboard, which adds value for them since they don't need to log in separately to check the storage status."
"The best features in Dell PowerStore are that it's easy to manage; for the customer user interface, customers can start learning and provision everything, and manage the system easily."
"Dell PowerStore is a great machine for storage with big performance when data is needed."
"The biggest trust element is people are very happy to depend on a Dell infrastructure."
"Dell PowerStore is very good storage that is highly available, and we are managing very high workloads with multiple I/Os, so it fits our organization perfectly."
"Its ease of use, smooth integration into the existing environment, quick and easy management, the number of other features available such as snaps, remote replica, etc are valuable features."
"Overall, this is a good product with good performance."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
 

Cons

"In terms of improvement for Dell PowerStore, I think it would be good to integrate it with IBM workloads."
"I think it could be improved by maybe unifying it with NAS, the file storage part."
"There are certain shortcomings with the technical support team of Dell PowerStore, where improvements are required."
"The NAS part is very poor. It's very basic. Even Dell EMC has said that to us. We are waiting for version 3 of PowerStore for that. This must be improved and it is in the roadmap."
"The biggest area in PowerStore that needs improvement is the overall visibility within the ESX environment."
"We are looking for the Dell PowerStore to become more mature to maximize our use cases."
"We have not seen an ROI and it would be good to have an ROI calculator made available by Dell."
"Where the system needs to improve is by adding more enterprise features like replication on other sites. We would also like it to be much more aligned with the VMware version. For example, today we have two different versions of VMware ESXi running to keep the PowerStore online. It would be better if the software cycling was faster."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
"The response time for read requests can be improved. It is not as good as the solution from Pure Storage."
"The solution isn’t scalable by itself. It’s a self-contained storage solution, i.e., if you need more space, buy another box."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HCL Tech has a TLA with Dell, so in terms of price point, we are very competitive. Based on my experience, the cost of Dell PowerStore for around 500 GB of capacity is very competitive compared to any other platform in the market."
"The rate is always too high. Nobody likes paying for it. I have not seen a client yet who says that the price should be higher. Initially, people look at it, but when they see what the benefits are, it is a no-brainer. We can give them good pricing at the outset."
"We purchased it with a five-year warranty."
"If we use the 500 or 1000, the licensing and pricing are reasonable. PowerStore can compete with any vendor and the price isn't that expensive."
"The software features are included in the pricing without any additional purchase requirements."
"Pricing depends on the model and negotiation. Sometimes we manage to get good discounts, sometimes not."
"The solution’s pricing is always too high."
"I rate the price of Dell PowerStore a seven out of ten."
"The license covers any feature and also, the future features are already included. It is as easy as a 1, 2 and 3."
"The best features come included without any additional cost."
