Storage has supported long-term CCTV archiving and improves on-premises application performance
I think it would be good regarding how Dell PowerVault could improve to have, in addition to the excellent support service that exists, some training courses, forums, and a training school for using these tools. Many people specialize only in this kind of equipment, and others have no idea how to configure them or how they work and always end up depending on people who have spent a long time working with these systems and know how to handle them more because of experience than because of information that can be easily obtained about using this equipment. Everything regarding additional aspects that could be improved in Dell PowerVault has already been mentioned.

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

Pros

"Dell PowerVault is cheap."
"I would rate the technical support and customer service team always at 100%."
"The most valuable features are stability and response time."
"My advice to others who are considering using Dell PowerVault is that it is definitely a reliable, stable platform and an extremely robust player to be considered in any type of project, whether in those where the storage or even performance demand is lower, as well as in projects where the amount of available space is huge and the need for performance is extremely high."
"Dell PowerVault is a suitable solution for our business workloads that involve data protection, backup, and related functions, and it is a solid storage platform for our organization that is dependable and cost-effective, with really good support."
"Dell PowerVault is user-friendly and easy to deploy."
"In my company there are more than 100 users connecting to this server simultaneously and still the I/O operations are very smooth."
"The solution is easy to configure and reliable; the performance is very good, and storage consolidation is quite easy to configure on it."
"Overall, this is a good product with good performance."
"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."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to improve its UI."
"If the solution came with a synchronous application, it would be particularly advantageous for small businesses operating across multiple sites."
"If we speak about the negative side of Dell PowerVault, I do see some areas for improvement."
"The implementation process takes a while."
"I would like to see improvements made to the user interface."
"There have been situations when our customers requested professional support and the price of that feature is quite high."
"No LCD panel for viewing status on-board."
"I would say better firmware testing could improve Dell PowerVault."
"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

"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"The price is reasonable and we are satisfied with it."
"It is important to remember that the retail price may seem high, but the final price is usually different."
"The cost, compared to other solutions, is on the higher end."
"Dell PowerVault's price is the tool's main attraction."
"I rate Dell PowerVault a six or seven out of ten for pricing."
"I would rate the pricing model a nine out of ten, with one being expensive and ten being cheap."
"They are offering a wide range of support models for the customers such as basic support that is budget-friendly, but they also provide a professional support solution that is a bit costly"
"The best features come included without any additional cost."
"The license covers any feature and also, the future features are already included. It is as easy as a 1, 2 and 3."
