Dell PowerFlex Reviews

The solution has the benefits of any hyper-converged infrastructure but also has good hardware integration. It is easy to use for management and operations teams because the tools are in one place. Upgrading is easy, you do not need to check all of the components in your infrastructure, when you upgrade the solution handles everything.

When checking some of the components in the RCM during upgrades, it can be difficult, you have to check and upgrade the software-defined storage because it will get out of scale with the virtualization with VMware. You always have to consider this during upgrades but the process should be simplified.

I have been using the solution for approximately two years.

The solution is stable.

With this solution you can upgrade and scale up your environment very easy, it is used in enterprise organizations that have large environments.

I have found the technical support very good.

The installation is complex.

Dell came with engineers and integrators to do the deployment for us.

The price of the solution is fair, it is priced in the average range amongst competitors.

For those who want to scale their environment, manage all the environment from a single point, and have to only deal with a single vendor this solution might be for you. If you need these requirements from a business perspective as operations management, the operational cost could be lower but I would advise speaking to professional deployment teams before you do anything.

I rate Dell EMC PowerFlexRev a nine out of ten.

We use VxFlex for our banking applications.

The most valuable feature is high availability.

VxFlex is a very stable product.

The scalability is very good.

The Dell EMC technical support is excellent.

We are planning to upgrade this system in three years, but in the meantime, we are happy with VxFlex.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We primarily use three or four modules for the city running on a plant.

The pricing of the solution could be lower.

The solution needs to offer more documentation and educational materials.

It would be helpful if they could simplify the solution for those that are new to the product, so that anyone could use it quite easily.

The solution is quite stable.

The solution is very scalable. We have about 400 people using the solution currently and we do plan to incrementally increase usage by about 10% a year.

The initial setup is straightforward. Deployment took about two months.

We used a consultant who helped us with the implementation.

We use the on-premises deployment model.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
