We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"In terms of stability, it's good enough. It's okay.""With federation, you can have multiple systems across sites. You can treat them as one, and with a live migration, volumes don't go down. You can move them from site to site, doing maintenance, and keep your environment up.""Performance-wise it's high speed. It's also more stable and scalable.""I've found the stability to be very good.""I think that Dell EMC is one of the best technical support services in Ukraine.""It has good dedupe and compression. Also, the built-in data migration capabilities are pretty good, as is the federation. When we started migrating the workloads from different storage platforms, like NetApp and XtremeIO, it helped us in moving to that direction.""There's some new stuff coming with 7.3, which just got released, where they're spreading the sparing across the whole array, rather than having a dedicated spare disk, and have it sit there and do nothing until one of them dies, and then it kicks in - and having to rebuild all of that. Now, they'll do the sparing across all the disks and they say that is going to add not only space but performance to the array, with 7.3.""The product offers good performance and is quite powerful."

Cons
"The configuration could be easier in Dell EMC SC Series.""I would like to see an integrated key manager in the controllers. Currently, it's an external product. It would be nice to have the option of having a built-in key for self-encrypting drive features.""I would like to have 100% functionality through the web app.""Technical support should respond more quickly because the turnaround time is very high.""While the price is competitive, in the next release it would be better if they could reduce the fees.""This product should be a lot more user-friendly.""The connection should be better integrated with the network to offer a better view of the system.""I would like to improve the processing ability."
