Resilience has supported proactive management and secured audit readiness across multiple sites
The resilience in Dell PowerStore benefits my company from an auditing perspective because we know we have that resilience in place. I see Dell PowerStore playing a bigger role in the future because we are starting to use it more, and that is pushing it. The biggest return on investment for me when using Dell PowerStore is scalability. Scalability is key. I can amplify that scalability is the biggest return on investment because we have redundancy between two sites; if something goes down, we have to manage it, but we want to do it proactively.

Good performance, suitable for big data, but the response time could be improved
The primary use case for this product is high-performance storage This product has good performance. It is similar to the Dell PowerMax and Pure Storage FlashArray. The InfiniBox has three active controllers. The response time for read requests can be improved. It is not as good as the solution…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"An interesting feature is the guaranteed reduction when it comes to the physical capacity of the disk."
"The stability has been excellent."
"The most impactful feature is the data reduction."
"Reliability is the most impactful feature of Dell PowerStore for my organization; it works well, with no issues at all, and that is very important."
"The most valuable feature of the solution for me is the deduplication part, especially since most of the servers in our organization are Windows-based servers."
"I have seen a return on investment with Dell PowerStore as it does what we wanted it to do. It gives me peace of mind."
"This solution allowed us to consolidate our storage efforts and operate with less of a footprint."
"Dell PowerStore delivers exceptional performance for our customers, not only in performance metrics but also in effective capacity."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"This product has good performance."
"Its ease of use, smooth integration into the existing environment, quick and easy management, the number of other features available such as snaps, remote replica, etc are valuable features."
"Overall, this is a good product with good performance."
 

Cons

"PowerStore's management console could be improved."
"The solution only does thin provisioning."
"It needs more mature code."
"We need to find a way to ensure the cache data is safe and secure."
"Dell PowerStore can improve the integration with VMware."
"If I could improve Dell PowerStore, I would suggest that integrations into backup platforms be a little more streamlined."
"The pricing for Dell PowerStore is quite expensive."
"If I could improve the product in any way, I would add features that make it look nicer compared to the DisplayPort."
"The response time for read requests can be improved. It is not as good as the solution from Pure Storage."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
"The solution isn’t scalable by itself. It’s a self-contained storage solution, i.e., if you need more space, buy another box."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is always too high."
"In the pricing and licensing department, the product is always too expensive."
"The solution's price was comparable to other products for the use case, size, and setup."
"It is expensive compared to one of its competitors."
"We only have a single machine and we are currently using half of the hard disk slots. We have asked for an upgrade for the rest of the hard disks but, from my point of view, it costs too much. We have 12 to 15 hard disks inside and if we try to upgrade only the hard disks, it costs the same as the complete system. This is something I don't understand."
"The price of Dell EMC PowerStore could be better, it is a bit expensive."
"The pricing is good. There's no need to pay for a license; it's all-inclusive."
"With compression, we were able to have a solution within our company's budget. We include a clause in the contract with Dell that states if the compression ratio is not met, we will adjust the workload accordingly."
"The best features come included without any additional cost."
"The license covers any feature and also, the future features are already included. It is as easy as a 1, 2 and 3."
