Haseeb Sheikh

Senior Manager Enterprise Solutions at a media company with 201-500 employees

Proactive monitoring has improved availability and capacity reporting for my infrastructure

The current features including availability, performance, and capacity are good enough, and I think more of better alerting along with improved thresholds of alerts should be implemented. It is helpful, but it should also include the capability to detect zero-day attacks if there are any. I think the remediation could have been better. For example, if I am upgrading my firmware or BIOS or firmware of the infrastructure, it should give me exact CVSS scores and remediation data provided against the CVSS scores. I think the Dell CloudIQ app could be more interactive. If there is a possibility that I can open tickets or SRs via the Dell CloudIQ app, that would be a good feature.

Senior Systems Engineer at a energy/utilities company with 201-500 employees

Monitors well with Citrix, stable, and the support is very responsive

It looks like it is easy to scale, but I don't know how far it can go out. We are only a 300, or 400 person company. We are not terribly large. It looks like it should be able to scale up until 10,000 at least. There are two users in the company who use this solution, I use it, and the helpdesk.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I use Dell CloudIQ for the availability and capacity reporting, which is very helpful in terms of capacity and availability reporting, and if there is any fault or faulty drive or faulty part, I am alerted on time with that, which is the main benefit that avoids any unplanned outage."

"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."

"It's convenient because you can access it from a mobile device without needing a laptop."

"The dashboard is clear and user-friendly."

"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 dashboard is clear and user-friendly."

"Mobile application is the most valuable feature for us. We can monitor all the storages on our phones. It's really good."

"I rate CloudIQ a ten out of ten."

More Dell CloudIQ pros

"Offers a diversity of features."

"I like that it not only has the ability to monitor but that it can do a lot of specific Citrix monitoring."

Cons

"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."

"There is a need for improvement in predictive maintenance, which I assume is somewhat AI-driven."

"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."

"The process of upgrading could be streamlined."

"The main limitation of CloudIQ is that it is intended to be used exclusively with Dell hardware."

More Dell CloudIQ cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is more expensive than NetApp which offers file systems in various price ranges."
