We performed a comparison between Dell SC Series and Reduxio [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."I have seen a huge increase in speed and performance on our databases."
"It helps us maintain uptime much better than other solutions we've used in the past, and the support is extremely quick and responsive."
"The initial setup was really straight forward."
"We can store more for a cheaper price as opposed to paying for larger devices and larger rack spaces which get outdated sooner and which we'd have to change every two years. It simplifies storage for us."
"The initial setup was straightforward in the way that it was a database vacuum storage."
"The deduplication and compression meet all of our system requirements."
"It reduces space and the polar consumption. It also accelerates the application."
"The most valuable feature is its data reduction."
"Easy management of volumes: You can create volumes and easily assign them to VMware clusters, increasing their size."
"It has good dedupe and compression. Also, the built-in data migration capabilities are pretty good, as is the federation. When we started migrating the workloads from different storage platforms, like NetApp and XtremeIO, it helped us in moving to that direction."
"This solution is easy to use."
"There's some new stuff coming with 7.3, which just got released, where they're spreading the sparing across the whole array, rather than having a dedicated spare disk, and have it sit there and do nothing until one of them dies, and then it kicks in - and having to rebuild all of that. Now, they'll do the sparing across all the disks and they say that is going to add not only space but performance to the array, with 7.3."
"One time, we had a drive fail and we were notified before we even saw it on the device."
"I find this version to be more budget-friendly compared to products from other vendors. This aspect greatly benefits my customers. It's highly advantageous due to its affordability. The operational aspect is also noteworthy. Additionally, its availability and performance are commendable. The speaker are also equally powerful."
"The process of reallocating data from fast disks (SSD or SAS) to slow disks (SATA) gives you better performance and better use of resources."
"The solution is stable."
"The HTML5 UI is clean, easy to navigate, and very intuitive."
"We are able to recover to the second, if needed, our data. This greatly improves restore capability, for example, if there is a cryptolocker outbreak or data loss."
"The biggest feature, and one of the reasons we use it with the file shares, is its continuous Snapshotting. We can go back to almost to any point in time, not only to last night at midnight or a week ago, but 10 minutes ago or three-hours-and-so-many-seconds, or whatever the case may be. We already had a brush with ransomware in the past, so it's good to know we can dial back to just before a mishap happens."
"The TimeOS support and I/O performance. For instance, recovery of data from any point in time, and the speed of the unit, are incredible compared to other devices we reviewed."
"Reduxio delivers a self-contained system with all of the features rolled in and functional."
"It needs integration with cloud vendors for remote storage, and to be able to restore a single machine from a specific volume."
"The down-to-the-second restore capability, native to the device is a valuable feature."
"I like the performance. I think it's what you call a hybrid SAN. It has solid state drives and, of course, regular optical drives, which would make performance a lot better, faster."
"The price of this solution could be improved."
"I would like to see them lower the costs."
"The product should improve its response time. I have also encountered issues with its configuration."
"I would like to see some improvements on the FlashBlade side around the CIFS space support. I am not super familiar with all the different NAS protocols that they run on their box, but there could be some improvements made on SMB CIFS side."
"We would like to see more development on their Copy Automation Tool (CAT) for Oracle, as well as better integration for our customers running Oracle VM."
"I would like to migrate to the cloud in the future and know how that would actually work with this product."
"There are a lot of things to improve."
"I would like to see support for NVMe, end-to-end."
"I don't think the solution is very scalable."
"The ease of use could be improved. It took me a while to learn it."
"Snapshots in VMware. You can’t do snapshots since the storage itself does that. Therefore, some apps (Veeam, for example) don’t work well with this kind of tiering storage."
"It's not very efficient anymore. There are better products out there."
"I would like to have 100% functionality through the web app."
"I would like to improve the processing ability."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and should be made simpler to do."
"The SC Series doesn't support NVMe storage."
"I would love to see deeper integration with VMware vSphere/vCenter. Right now, I can edit existing Reduxio datastore sizes in the vSphere web client. Provisioning new datastores that way would be nice."
"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."
"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."
"Integration is needed with other virtual vendors like VMware, Veeam, Hyper-V; that integration needs to be deeper, not just the way that they're using it now. I know that it's under development, but I think this is one of the disadvantages, for now, as a young company. They have to work with the other players on the market."
"Would love to have role-based access and an active directory integration."
"Needs some hooks into cloud storage for backup. Also they should update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource."
"The user interface for the web console could be more user-friendly, while it is flashy, how to find functions is not necessarily obvious."
"The ability to look at data at a file level would be useful, as well as the ability recover at that level. Right now, you can only recover whole volumes."
