Dell PowerVault vs Quantum DXi Series comparison

"The storage has been good."

"I like the tool's CloudIQ feature."

"I would say my favorite features of Dell PowerVault are that it's pretty easy to use, it has been pretty stable, firmware updates have been pretty easy to install, and replacing a bad drive is fairly simple."

"The initial setup was easy and simple."

"The stability is quite good. Once you deploy all the equipment, it's very stable."

"It is an inexpensive storage solution."

"The most valuable features are stability and response time."

"Dell PowerVault offers valuable full flash storage."

"I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."

"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues. Importantly, there were no substantial ongoing concerns. Regarding the overall performance, it has been consistently excellent."

"There have been situations when our customers requested professional support and the price of that feature is quite high."

"If you do not have an existing relationship with Dell or are exploring the market for the first time, the initial acquisition cost of Dell PowerVault is high compared to competitors such as Hitachi or IBM, which often undercut prices."

"We need higher performance and more reliable storage."

"The product could support an NVMe hard disk."

"Dell PowerVault could improve by having a higher cache and file protocol support added."

"The implementation process takes a while."

"The tool needs to improve its UI."

"PowerVault doesn't integrate with Active Directory. Other storage solutions offer SAN and NAS unified storage in a single appliance, but PowerVault is only SAN."

"Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas."

"The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."

"I would rate the pricing model a nine out of ten, with one being expensive and ten being cheap."

"I rate the solution's pricing a seven to eight out of ten."

"I do not oversee this aspect, as pricing is contingent on factors such as volume, technical specifications, and the desired features. Consequently, I lack information on the pricing details and structure."
