First Assistant Vice President (FAVP) & Unit Head of Server & Storage Management Unit at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees4.0We use Dell Storage Resource Manager for block-based storage and various pools, particularly for Oracle databases. Its ease of control and storage supervision is valuable, though improvements in fiber channel port reliability and console management are needed.

Modern Data Center and Cloud Engineer II at IE Network Solutions PLC5.0I find this product easy to deploy and very effective for disk management, with many features. However, its support needs significant improvement due to slow response times and long issue resolution, which frustrates clients.
Architect at a tech company with 10,001+ employees4.0I value SRM reporting. Past EMC ECC had support, cost, and resource issues, leading me to NetApp OCI. Now with ViPR SRM, which seems similar, I hope EMC continues listening to customer needs.
Senior Infrstructure Analyst at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees3.0I used this product for three years, valuing its multi-array management and good support. However, its stability and agent-based communication were issues. Frankly, I believe better solutions exist today, even from EMC.
Senior Storage Consultant at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees3.5We've used this stable, scalable solution for five years, finding its centralized administration straightforward and beneficial for our EMC SANs. I would only wish for third-party storage management.
