"The high prices of the solution are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"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 implementation process takes a while."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"Dell PowerVault is block-oriented storage only."
"Sometimes integrating into a cluster can be difficult as you have to do it manually."
"I would like to see free disk space."
"The solution’s web access should be improved."
