Dell EqualLogic PS series faces issues with only iSCSI connectivity, pre-configured capacity models, and limitations on mixing disk types. The cost is high, particularly for small enterprises, and scalability is limited. Controllers lack simultaneous activity for load balancing, and replication demands excessive space. Incompatibility with new technologies, outdated support, and the absence of inline deduplication and Fibre Channel connectivity are concerns. Organizations cannot buy additional solutions, hindering performance updates and improvements.
- "The performance was never very good, and its latency was higher than expected."
- "It's kind of expensive when you buy the EqualLogic solution because, as you grow, you have to keep buying another controller. It can be more expensive with time."
- "Three of the four devices have been rock solid, and one of them had a string of issues that we eventually resolved."
