Dell PowerVault vs Quantum DXi Series comparison

"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerVault is its ability to provide small to medium-range storage. It doesn't have any specific standout features, but it's great for applications, such as surveillance where a large number of videos need to be recorded and performance isn't a priority."

"The stability is quite good. Once you deploy all the equipment, it's very stable."

"It is an inexpensive storage solution."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is easy to manage and easy to use."

"The storage has been good."

"The initial setup was easy and simple."

"Dell PowerVault is cost-effective as a storage solution, and I see it has competitive pricing with other vendors."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."

"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues. Importantly, there were no substantial ongoing concerns. Regarding the overall performance, it has been consistently excellent."

"Sometimes integrating into a cluster can be difficult as you have to do it manually."

"The price of the solution could be lower."

"PowerVault could be improved by increasing its memory cache capacity and adding the ability to export data to the cloud."

"The high prices of the solution are an area of concern where improvements are required."

"Dell PowerVault could improve by having a higher cache and file protocol support added."

"If you do not have an existing relationship with Dell or are exploring the market for the first time, the initial acquisition cost of Dell PowerVault is high compared to competitors such as Hitachi or IBM, which often undercut prices."

"PowerVault doesn't integrate with Active Directory. Other storage solutions offer SAN and NAS unified storage in a single appliance, but PowerVault is only SAN."

"Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas."

"I rate the price of Dell PowerVault a nine out of ten."

"They are offering a wide range of support models for the customers such as basic support that is budget-friendly, but they also provide a professional support solution that is a bit costly"

"The price of Dell PowerVault could be reduced. It is more expensive than some IBM solutions."

"The price is reasonable and we are satisfied with it."

"I do not oversee this aspect, as pricing is contingent on factors such as volume, technical specifications, and the desired features. Consequently, I lack information on the pricing details and structure."
