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 stability has been excellent."
"The most valuable features in Dell PowerStore are the Metro Volume features that are built-in without requiring an additional component."
"Currently, the features of replication and deduplication have been very important to us."
"The biggest improvement we found when moving into Dell PowerStore was the deduplication and compression."
"Moving and optimizing workloads within the cluster is quite easy based on my experience with Dell PowerStore."
"The beauty is the simplicity - customers can manage multiple workloads from a single dashboard with scale-out architecture."
"I configured the storage for a customer, and they had all the scattered data placed on different servers; I consolidated all the data into a single dashboard accessible via Dell PowerStore Manager, which improves performance and IT infrastructure."
"The return on investment since switching to Dell PowerStore has been really good."
"This product has good performance."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
 

Cons

"I would like to see a Snapshot feature. Currently, it is unable to occupy the capacity."
"Even though most customers have four-hour support, it sometimes takes two days for parts to arrive when I would expect it the next day."
"Dell PowerStore does not have features that specifically cater to the needs of our company or industry that are outstanding among others, but reliability is crucial, and ease of management is also important."
"It's also only supported with a limited amount of switches."
"AI will be a challenge and we must manage different kinds of data with more performance and security."
"If I could improve the product in any way, I would add features that make it look nicer compared to the DisplayPort."
"Dell PowerStore doesn't really have a lot of advantages over other products. It has no special features technically. Other products have better management and analytics features."
"It needs more mature code."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is high compared to the Tunisian market."
"The software features are included in the pricing without any additional purchase requirements."
"The solution’s pricing is always too high."
"PowerStore's pricing is reasonable."
"Pricing depends on the model and negotiation. Sometimes we manage to get good discounts, sometimes not."
"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."
"Dell PowerStore charges for the hardware warranty every three years. The price will depend on the storage model or how much hardware it has."
"There are no separate licenses required as all the basic licenses are included in the bundle."
"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."
