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

"The solution is resilient and reliable, the support is very good, it performs fast with excellent IOPS, and their deduplication and compression ratio features are excellent."
"Updates come with enhancements. Each time we do an update, there is an enhancement, like new features, which is extraordinary. Other companies would try to charge for all that, but the enhancements just come with it."
"A particularly valuable feature is its simplicity."
"Dell PowerStore is very good storage that is highly available, and we are managing very high workloads with multiple I/Os, so it fits our organization perfectly."
"The most valuable feature is the unwavering performance."
"The feature I value most is the additional speed."
"The most valuable feature is the three-to-one data reduction."
"Having Dell PowerStore installed benefits these organizations because they have a fast solution."
"Overall, this is a good product with 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."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
 

Cons

"Other products have better management and analytics features."
"I would like to see more performance and more dedupe and compression features with Dell PowerStore in the next release."
"There is a big pricing increase once you get to our level, and for our size company, it was almost too large when we went from previous generation products to current models. It was a sticker shock, I have to admit."
"Regarding Dell PowerStore, one consideration is whether we could support hybrid disks."
"You cannot delegate permissions."
"I think it could be improved by maybe unifying it with NAS, the file storage part."
"The support is not very good."
"If Dell PowerStore had more controllers, making it more reliable and resilient, it would be better."
"The solution isn’t scalable by itself. It’s a self-contained storage solution, i.e., if you need more space, buy another box."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
"The response time for read requests can be improved. It is not as good as the solution from Pure Storage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is not cheap, but it's worth it for the features you get from the storage. If you can afford it, you are probably buying the best solution that you can have for this virtual environment."
"The pricing structure and licensing model of Dell PowerStore are very good and I like it. We chose it because it was reasonably priced and met our requirements"
"HCL Tech has a TLA with Dell, so in terms of price point, we are very competitive. Based on my experience, the cost of Dell PowerStore for around 500 GB of capacity is very competitive compared to any other platform in the market."
"When we compared it with the other solutions, the pricing of PowerStore was equal. The pricing is good."
"There's still a cap on the upgrade path, where you can consume all the engines within the frame before you have to go to another frame... Normally, we exceed the IOPS on the frames before we can ever exhaust the storage, so anything they can do to help us avoid stranded storage capacity, capacity that we couldn't get to, would be beneficial."
"There are no separate licenses required as all the basic licenses are included in the bundle."
"In terms of licensing, my organization has Dell Technologies End User License Agreement (EULA), but I don't know exactly how it works, though it is a big bundle of licenses for Dell Data Domain, Dell EMC Unity XT, Dell PowerStore, Dell ECS, and all such kinds of storage arrays."
"The rate is always too high. Nobody likes paying for it. I have not seen a client yet who says that the price should be higher. Initially, people look at it, but when they see what the benefits are, it is a no-brainer. We can give them good pricing at the outset."
"The license covers any feature and also, the future features are already included. It is as easy as a 1, 2 and 3."
"The best features come included without any additional cost."
