Dell PowerVault vs Quantum DXi Series comparison

"Dell PowerVault offers valuable full flash storage."

"The solution is reliable and stable."

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

"The initial setup was easy and simple."

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

"Dell PowerVault is cheap."

"The storage has been good."

"For us, the initial setup was easy."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"I would like Dell to improve on the configuration of the disk groups. Only one group is expandable. Once you configure the other disk group types, you cannot expand them. It limits scalability. If you want maybe to grow a disk group, you lose information, and then you need to build it up again, which is not a good use case for customers."

"The product could support an NVMe hard disk."

"Dell PowerVault is block-oriented storage only."

"There have been situations when our customers requested professional support and the price of that feature is quite high."

"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."

"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 product is inexpensive."

"It is important to remember that the retail price may seem high, but the final price is usually different."

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

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

"I would rate the pricing model a nine out of ten, with one being expensive and ten being cheap."

"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."
