"The speed of the unit is its best feature. It performs very well."
"We are a 100% satisfied with the stability of the solution."
"This solution is really user friendly. It also offers good performance and is highly reliable."

"The security features can be improved such that the encryption does not affect performance in any way."
"They don't offer subscription-based payments."
"One area for improvement is in the GUI, where host clusters are not properly dealt with. With Hypervisor host clusters, all hosts must see the same volumes in the same order. Using the concept of a “host-group” has been around (even with IBM) for many years, so why not with the V7000?"
"Enterprise data storage needs improvement. They should create a feature for data and file storage."
"The solution is quite expensive. That's one of the downsides to using it."
"This solution needs a management console where we are alerted to issues and can report them, or escalate them through email or another method."

"Our model does not support compression or deduplication."
"Master Snapshot feature is the only exceptional feature, but the rest of the features are similar to other storage solutions."
