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

"Dell PowerStore has positively impacted my organization by adding a very big storage capacity at a relatively low price, and it has also been very easy to use."
"I like the performance of the PowerStore. When you talk about PowerStore, it's mainly about flash systems and high-end IOPS. The 1000T is a midsize box, in terms of the way the vendor positions it, but it is more than enough for our needs."
"The pricing of Dell PowerStore is quite on point and very competitive overall."
"Reliable, with comprehensive features and a well-established support base."
"I find all of the Dell PowerStore features to be valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerStore is the speed."
"If you want to solve a workload problem, this is the best way."
"Dell PowerStore has helped my organization improve operational efficiency by providing proper performance for whatever application a customer uses, making it easy for our production environment."
"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

"I had specific troubles with vulnerabilities in Dell PowerStore. There are many vulnerabilities that we cannot mitigate related to the administration interface."
"Dell PowerStore can improve the integration with VMware."
"While using Dell PowerStore's interface in our organization, we sometimes miss out on some information."
"If Dell would consider aggressive discounts for critical opportunities, that would be great because most of the time Dell doesn't have a winning probability with the current pricing model."
"When we go to buy or populate more drives in the storage array, they're so expensive. If they could lower the cost for components, we would definitely expand them more and be more inclined to buy more storage units, but it's currently a price crunch for us."
"What I do not like about Dell PowerStore is the software licensing, which also has to be brought in."
"I think efficiency in the operation for Dell PowerStore sometimes requires opening new cases with Dell to troubleshoot some upgrades, and I need a faster response from the support team."
"The initial setup was a little bit cumbersome."
"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."
"The solution isn’t scalable by itself. It’s a self-contained storage solution, i.e., if you need more space, buy another box."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When we compared it with the other solutions, the pricing of PowerStore was equal. The pricing is good."
"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."
"The solution's price was comparable to other products for the use case, size, and setup."
"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."
"Dell PowerStore is not a cheap solution."
"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."
"We are currently using Dell PowerStore for our smaller storage and there is no competition for pricing."
"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."
