Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Enterprise SAN."I find this solution to be cost-effective in providing data storage for clients."
"PowerVault comes with free software that performs functions like data deduplication and replication, which is cost-effective and delivers added value to the product."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is easy to manage and easy to use."
"The storage has been good."
"The initial setup was easy and simple."
"It is an inexpensive storage solution."
"Dell PowerVault offers valuable full flash storage."
"For us, the initial setup was easy."
"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution saves a lot of storage capacity."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"There have been situations when our customers requested professional support and the price of that feature is quite high."
"I would like Dell to improve on the configuration of the disk groups. Only one group is expandable. Once you configure the other disk group types, you cannot expand them. It limits scalability. If you want maybe to grow a disk group, you lose information, and then you need to build it up again, which is not a good use case for customers."
"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 could set up the installation through a web server, but it's not very reactive on the web server. For example, when you launch a task, and you don't know exactly if the task has begun or if the task is in progress, or if it's finished. You have to wait for three to five to ten minutes to be sure that the task is running or in progress or finished. So at that point, it's not very good."
"The product could support an NVMe hard disk."
"I would like to see improvements made to the user interface."
"Dell PowerVault is block-oriented storage only."
"PowerVault doesn't integrate with Active Directory. Other storage solutions offer SAN and NAS unified storage in a single appliance, but PowerVault is only SAN."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting could be better."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"We would like to see some improvements in the Veeam Backup & Replication integration. It's good, but it has a lot of room to improve. In particular around the inability to easily move data between StoreOnce appliances."
"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed."
"When it comes to upgrading, it always goes block-wise. One block is 48 TB raw capacity. It would be good if they can include a smaller capacity for SMB customers. Currently, it is not possible to increase in a smaller capacity. You have to buy the exact same unit. It would be great if they can provide a smaller next block. There are around 20 hard disks, and it would be really helpful if we can add 10 hard disks initially and 10 hard disks later."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
