Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution.""Has really nice roll-up dashboards.""The tool for forecasting capacity is valuable.""Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good.""The best thing about this solution is that you can check for the infrastructure and system updates that you might need to be compliant with the Cloud."

"The tool's ease of configuration and use and the availability of information and artifacts through professional services and the web are key factors that customers find valuable.""The best feature of this application is its ability to capture everything within the same application, as well as capture all the traffic.""The most valuable feture is NetFlow to help us understand how VMs communicate with each other over ports that are known and ports that are also unknown to us. Our company is a security company, so it's very important for us to know exactly which VMs are doing what at all times.""The solution helps reduce time to value, increase performance, provide deep visibility, and easily manage networks.""It allows us to go from virtual through NSX, up to the core, and see all of that in one pane of glass, it's pretty easy.""compare-to-competition; I would recommend the product. I don't think there is any other product like this on the market right now.""One of the most valuable features is the ability to look at the traffic flows, to look at NetFlow data.""We're a smaller company so it automates a lot of the tasks and lets us focus in on building out our own solution. It's quicker, there is less building of manual solutions, and less downtime. It allows our developers to quickly develop, get provisioning done, de-provisioning, etc; the stuff that you would expect to be able to make it streamlined."

Cons
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting.""Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell.""In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range.""Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved.""The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."

More Dell CloudIQ Cons →

"The only issue we have is that the solution does not always capture the host names.""When we talk about those micro-segmentation rules, there's an Export function. It is very macro-segmentation oriented instead. So if you choose an application, it will find the tiers within that application and say that it's communicating on, say, port 80 to a separate VLAN. There might be 200 machines in that other VLAN. You don't want to open port 80 at all of them. So we need a lot more granularity in those suggested firewall rules.""The solution is very much viewer centric and it would be nice if it would transcend just the virtual infrastructure.""The virtual appliance has rebooted.""I would like to see more reporting features, more dashboards.""The only real improvement they can make is to add more third-party vendors into the environment, mostly switch manufacturers, because it's really limited to Cisco equipment and there are a lot of companies out there other than Cisco.""Support could be much better.""In a very general way, I would like to see an improvement in interoperability with third-party product, from other vendors."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution is more expensive than NetApp which offers file systems in various price ranges."
  • More Dell CloudIQ Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The solution has helped us to reduce time, increase performance, reduce costs, and even easily manage networks. We are probably seeing 10 to 20 percent labor savings because we are able to be very specific and focused on what we want to do. It ends up saving the customer money and makes us be more efficient on our cost deliveries."
  • "It reduces costs. It takes something that may be challenging and makes it more usable and visual by being able to bring in tools, seeing what their impact is, such as microsegmentation and application rationalization, and seeing it quickly."
  • "Cost always has room for improvement, you could always make it cheaper. But I think it's a good value for what you pay for it."
  • "It's an expensive product because we have a lot of nodes."
  • "They should include the product in NSX because it's important to have it for deployment."
  • "The solution has reduced the time that we spend on other products. For example, with NSX, we were able to quickly find things that we would normally spend days trying to figure out."
  • "We have spent less time investigating network flows, so it is absolutely cost-effective."
  • "It has brought more money into our company."
