"When I have an issue and need technical support, I reach out to them either through chat or by submitting a service request, and the response is good."
"We're able to access it from just about anywhere, as long as we have access to a browser. That feature is really neat because sometimes we will go to a different data center or a different site, and if we need to access it to see a LUN or to see any type of storage, we can do that. That's one of the big takeaways with Unity."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with vCenter."
"The solution overall has high performance."
"I like how it separates the iSCSI drives from the standard shares. It has two different routes to it. I know most of the other solutions do this, but I just like the way that Dell EMC does it."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the unified storage. Also, its capabilities for block-access, file access, and the center box."
"Initial setup is a simple process."
"The high availability of Dell EMC Unity XT has been the most important feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the overall simplicity."
"The majority of our customers find this solution simple to use."
"I've been satisfied with the level of attention I'm given when I reach out to technical support."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The solution is scalable."
"There are plenty of features available in this solution."
"The most valuable features are the five chips architecture and the purpose-built NVMe hard disk drive. Additionally, the IOPS feature is good."
"This is a stable product that we can use for DR in production."
"Dell could improve Unity XT by adding support for NVMe."
"Currently, the protocol SNMP is not implemented. That's a problem, as we follow this protocol and I can't check the integrity of this equipment."
"It could be a little easier to attach it to a network file system."
"This is a tier-three solution and it gives us what we need for archiving and backups."
"I have a problem because between the Unity XT and the PowerMax, sometimes we need another product between these two products. There could be better integrated and the capacity of the size could be larger."
"It could be improved in the area of management flexibility. For example, I really need to set read-only access for LUNs, and there's no such option with Unity XT."
"Dell EMC Unity XT should present a path or a roadmap on how they could put their products on the cloud. This would have some value for their current customers."
"The pre-sales technical support and technical engagement could be made better for this product."
"I would really like to see Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization in a future release."
"The product could always be faster."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
"There are some limitations to this product because they do not have unified storage."
"If they implement a backup solution directly into the OceanStor then it will be a valuable feature."
"This solution can improve by providing easier migrations and better Metro features."
"It should have easy connectivity with the AIX, however, I've found that with AIX, it has some issues and due to this, we need to remove the exact fiber card sometimes and then plug it in again so that it can connect with the AIX systems."
"The data compression and deduplication ratio of Huawei OceanStor Dorado is not as good as other solutions, such as EMC and Pure Storage. It is important when looking at capacity effectiveness."
