Dell PowerVault vs Quantum DXi Series comparison

"It is an inexpensive storage solution."

"The solution is reliable and stable."

"Dell PowerVault is user-friendly and easy to deploy."

"I like the tool's CloudIQ feature."

"Dell PowerVault offers valuable full flash storage."

"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 most valuable feature of Dell PowerVault is its performance."

"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."

"Dell PowerVault is block-oriented storage only."

"The price of the solution could be lower."

"I would like to see improvements made to the user interface."

"The product is generally stable, but there have been instances, to my knowledge, where we faced issues in the controller during software upgrades. The availability is not at the desired level during these upgrade processes, as we sometimes need to shut down both controllers. This could be an area for improvement."

"Sometimes integrating into a cluster can be difficult as you have to do it manually."

"The implementation process takes a while."

"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."

"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 rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."

"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"

"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."

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

"The solution is more cost-effective than the competitors. It’s an affordable option for small businesses."

"The price of Dell PowerVault could be reduced. It is more expensive than some IBM solutions."

"The cost, compared to other solutions, is on the higher end."

"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."
