Dell XtremIO Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Trainer, Storage Consultant at Oxon4.0I find Dell XtremIO excellent for scalable storage management, offering straightforward expansion, configuration, and deduplication features. Although user-friendly, I believe the interface could be simplified for beginners. I've also tried IBM and HPE products in the past.
Systems Engineer at Thakral One (Pvt) Ltd3.0I've deployed around fifty LUNs mostly with VMware using Dell XtremIO. Its speed and scalability enhance data storage management, but it's costly and lacks sufficient training or support resources, making troubleshooting challenging. I've also worked with HPE and Huawei.
Assistant Vice President at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees4.5We use Dell XtremIO for storage management, particularly for Oracle databases, due to its efficient handling of large workloads and easy snapshot manageability. However, upgrading capacity is expensive. We've switched to Dell PowerStore for better solutions.
Technical Manager at a recreational facilities/services company with 11-50 employees4.5I found Dell XtremIO to be user-friendly and efficient, offering excellent data compression and flexible cluster expansion. While cost-efficiency and hardware obsolescence are concerns, its superior support and performance make it preferable over competitors like SolidFire and Pure Storage.
Managing Director at GCET3.5I find Dell XtremIO to be a decent storage solution focused on performance rather than capacity or unification. It needs improved stability and unification for agility. Challenges mainly involve software versions. Overall, it's a good, albeit average, product.
Information Technology Division Director at Ethiopian Roads Administration4.0Dell XtremIO impresses with its speed and reliable hardware, enhancing efficiency and cutting storage costs through effective data reduction. However, integration challenges with other products and vendor lock-in could be improved to increase flexibility and usability.
Sr. Project Manager -IT at ITC Ltd4.5I use Dell XtremIO for high IOPS and efficient backups within 10 minutes, enjoying its snapshot backup and flash storage features. However, support response can be delayed, and the initial proof of concept required significant resources.
Information Technology Division Director at Ethiopian Roads Administration4.0I initially valued Dell XtremIO for its reliable storage capabilities, allowing data access based on user requirements. However, its scalability needs improvement. While it was a top solution a decade ago, more efficient options now exist, prompting us to decommission it.
