It has many load-balancing technologies like Round Robin. We can tweak and configure it really well. The product has good performance metrics for service times. I can see how well our databases are performing by service times. It is mainly a multipathing tool.

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that disaster recovery scenarios are very good and easy to use in Dell PowerPath since it is available in a simplified form.

The product is very reliable. It works fine whenever we try to restore the backup.

Normally, clients are without a license. We install it in order to utilize it instead of the native multipathing. The solution offers load balancing, which is great.

The overall functionality has been really good.

The setup is really easy.

We have found the solution to be quite flexible and very scalable.

We haven't had any stability issues.

The most valuable feature of this solution is migration without disruptions.

The user interface is good.

They are two different multipathing softwares which come with hypervisors or operating systems, which are native multipathing software. Apart from that, we have EMC PowerPath, which comes with Dell EMC storages, EMC, VMAX, Aternity or VNX. There are different varieties of storage in the market for Dell products. This multipathing software has certain features which we normally don't have on native multipathing software, especially in terms of load balancing and the way it captures the IO metrics and boosts the performance of different operating systems. This is something very specific to it and it has the flexibility apart from this multipathing capability. 

PowerPath also acts as a PowerPath migration software. For example, if I want to migrate any OS that's currently running on a different EMC product, PowerPath has the capability to act as a centralized software to migrate the operating system from one storage to the another EMC storage, but remain in the EMC portfolio. EMC has different portfolios, like the VMAX, VNX, and Unity. So with this one single software I will be able to migrate data from one storage to another storage.

OS-aware multipathing is a valuable feature of the product.
