Dell PowerVault vs Quantum DXi Series comparison

"PowerVault comes with free software that performs functions like data deduplication and replication, which is cost-effective and delivers added value to the product."

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

"I find this solution to be cost-effective in providing data storage for clients."

"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerVault is its performance."

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

"Dell PowerVault offers valuable full flash storage."

"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 Dell warranty is the most valuable feature."

"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."

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

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

"The implementation process takes a while."

"In the next release, I would like the deduplication and compression included, as well as the flash technology. It doesn't currently use it."

"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."

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

"In most instances, clients are using Dell PowerVault with tape drives, but we want to transition them away from tape drives due to the risk of data loss."

"If the solution came with a synchronous application, it would be particularly advantageous for small businesses operating across multiple sites."

"The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."

"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."

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

"The product is inexpensive."

"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."

"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."

"The solution is more cost-effective than the competitors. It’s an affordable option for small businesses."

"Dell PowerVault's price is the tool's main attraction."

"I rate Dell PowerVault a six or seven out of ten for pricing."

"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."
