"The Global Copy and Global Mirror features are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"The high throughput feature is the most powerful thing in this product."
"Deploying, Expanding, and Modifying systems are easier than ever."
"We have never had a bad experience with it because we never had failures. It has good data availability and the performance is also okay."
"It works with our replication technology, which is not SRDF, which is native replication technology."
"We have been able to present storage from the VMAX to hosts without any problems."
"A rock solid foundation to deploy applications which cannot incur a disruption of service."
"The interface is good, and it is also customizable."
"This solution is resilient."
"The most valuable features are the interface and performance."
"It is an expensive product. They should lower the price."
"The GUI isn't as user-friendly as other options."
"The solution should embedded replication switches into the hardware instead of using them externally."
"I'd like to see improvements where we can scale out an existing array and remove older controllers\drives\etc., within the same subsystem."
"The pricing is a bit expensive. That is the reason we are now currently we are looking for other solutions. That's the reason we are looking at AFF and Unity. We are also considering PowerStore."
"I would like this solution to integrate the solution that EMC vPlex offers."
"Resilience replication, reporting, and performance need to be improved."
"The cluster support should be improved."
"I would like to see support for high-availability."
"Better speed to release new features that have become industry standards. EMC created so many standards in the past. Now, it seems they are playing a me-too game and lagging behind in some areas, specifically data reduction."
"The way you configure larger size volumes needs improvement."
