Dell EMC is very good at this and if you compared them based on NAS storage, Dell EMC would win right away. IBM's solution for NAS storage is very complicated. We don't have a storage box that provides file sharing from itself, we have to put software on it and go through a whole complicated process. It should be simplified."
"We use some open-source tools for monitoring, such as Grafana and it should be bundled along with IBM FlashSystem."
"They don't offer subscription-based payments."
"The generic functionality of IBM FlashSystem, IBM always dismisses using file share or sharing protocols inside their storage hardware, and they only focus on the block-level storage."
"A big area for improvement is that the data reduction pool feature is not recommended for use in a production environment because it has stability and performance issues."
"The customer's expectations are what they get on the cloud, they're expecting even in the on-premises deployments, going forward."
