Dell PowerVault has been stable.

The DSCC portal offers replication information, but it is not available in the integrated GUI.

I don't think it's terribly priced, but Pure Storage is cheaper.
Dell PowerVault is fairly within the budget for our operations and for our client's operations.
If you use a PowerVault with SSD hard disk, it begins to be rather expensive.
HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is not so expensive.

We've even used PowerVault series that we intended to use for five years for almost eight years, and it was still working fine, providing good ROI compared to any other brand.
What differentiates Dell PowerVault from other storage solutions is the performance combined with the ability to meet significant bandwidth consumption needs.
This mainly gives us time to react and provides us with peace of mind that if something happens, we can be up and running within a span of approximately 30 minutes.
Regarding DR, the RPO and RTOs are very good.
Regarding the predictive analytics feature of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, you can analyze information over the DSCC, the Data Center Cloud Console, where you can see a lot of information to indicate whether the system has had problems or not.
