Dell PowerVault Reviews

The primary use case of this solution is for local software, which we use for the production of local ERPs that we use on-premises.

The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is easy to manage and easy to use.

Deduplication and compression is an area that needs development. This is currently not on the device.

In the next release, I would like the deduplication and compression included, as well as the flash technology. It doesn't currently use it.

We have been using this solution since February 2014. It's been more than six years.

We have not had any issues, but I cannot say that it is very secure. We do not use any security protocols, but we have not had any issues with security.

The scalability is not flexible.

We have approximately 150 users, who are using this solution in our organization.

We are satisfied with technical support.

The initial setup was easy and straightforward. 

It's made by the technicians, which made it easy.

The price is reasonable and we are satisfied with it.

I could not recommend this solution to others, because the technology is old. There are other Dell models that I would recommend, but not this one.

I would rate Dell EMC PowerVault an eight out of ten.

We are a hospital in Jordan, I'm the IT director and we are end users of this solution. 

We have this solution running almost all the time and it's very reliable and stable.

I'll need to replace Dell soon because it's almost obsolete and considered old technology. If I continued using it, I'd need to increase its capacity. We need higher performance and more reliable storage. It's considered an expensive solution in Jordan, it would be better if the price could be reduced. 

I've been using this solution for nearly eight years. 

This solution is stable and scalable but it's fallen behind our needs.  

We had some performance issues after our initial setup and they managed to resolve all the problems. I haven't needed to contact support since then. 

The initial setup is not that straightforward. It involves SAN switches and some setup procedure that are a little complex.

Licensing fees are expensive - whether that's specifically in Jordan, I'm not sure.

If this solution is within your means as a storage option then I would recommend it.

I rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

My primary uses are virtualization and general-purpose workloads.

The features I've found most valuable are replication and tiered storage.

PowerVault could be improved by increasing its memory cache capacity and adding the ability to export data to the cloud.

I have been using this solution for a year.

PowerVault is stable.

Dell's technical support is excellent.

The initial setup was easy and simple.

PowerVault is an entry-level model for customers needing their first storage solution. I would rate this solution as ten out of ten.
