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.

Standout features are real-time dashboards and powerful aggregation
This product has a powerful aggregating feature which is great. It also has its own APIs. Whenever the data comes in, it can be streamed out anywhere. It's the only solution that provides real-time dashboards. Tableau doesn't have this feature. The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products. The product is easy to set up with very low maintenance required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Dell PowerStore is great in terms of stability and reliability."
"The biggest benefit is that we have an enterprise storage solution we can rely on."
"The biggest improvement we found when moving into Dell PowerStore was the deduplication and compression."
"The best features of Dell PowerStore include the effective capacity, which I believe is its strongest feature, and the dynamic RAID of disks."
"The beauty is the simplicity - customers can manage multiple workloads from a single dashboard with scale-out architecture."
"Dell PowerStore is a mid-range product that can suit small companies and provides good IOPS and performance."
"Dell PowerStore is used for any storage of files and blocks where performance, scalability, and manageability are needed, and it is easy to use Dell PowerStore for optimizing workloads."
"The solution is stable."
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
"The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products."
"The solution is mature and stable, even more so since it was acquired by TIBCO."
 

Cons

"Dell PowerStore customer service is good, but sometimes they usually take a lot of time to understand the issue."
"Dell PowerStore could improve in the updating process and lifecycle management, as the upgrades seem to take a long time, along with some of the management features."
"I am not satisfied with Dell PowerStore because of stability. Stability and complexity of some features and configurations are issues with Dell PowerStore."
"I do not like having to use VPLEX for synchronous replication, as opposed to having the store software built-in."
"I believe Dell PowerStore could be improved in terms of its GUI, which is a bit clunky and challenging to navigate for normal storage setup tasks, requiring many different options to create pools and add permissions, making it less straightforward compared to its predecessor, the Unity, where you would see the disk directly and set the size easily."
"For a rating of ten, what's missing is knowing quite reliably that you end up with the right support team for your problem because way too often you have a problem, call support, and then end up with people who repair laptops."
"I think efficiency in the operation for Dell PowerStore sometimes requires opening new cases with Dell to troubleshoot some upgrades, and I need a faster response from the support team."
"Usually, Huawei is cheaper and has higher capacity in the same volume."
"Live Datamart runs on JVM which only holds Java and only 60 GB of data. If you try to get more out of it than that, it crashes."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With compression, we were able to have a solution within our company's budget. We include a clause in the contract with Dell that states if the compression ratio is not met, we will adjust the workload accordingly."
"The pricing structure and licensing model of Dell PowerStore are pretty decent. It's pretty competitive."
"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 price of Dell EMC PowerStore could be better, it is a bit expensive."
"There are no separate licenses required as all the basic licenses are included in the bundle."
"It is expensive compared to one of its competitors."
"The solution’s pricing is always too high."
"It is very expensive though when you get to this point of using the 3000 with a client. They will start to think about using another vendor. There are a lot of solutions similar to PowerStore in regards to networking capacity and their prices are very cheap compared to PowerStore."
"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
