Dell PowerStore Reviews

They use Dell PowerStore to build virtualization.

I have found the most valuable part of Dell PowerStore is the price.

I would like to see a Snapshot feature. Currently, it is unable to occupy the capacity. 

I have been using Dell PowerStore for three to four years.

Dell PowerStore is a very stable solution.

It is very easy to scale and we have all different sizes of customers.

Technical Support is very good.

I worked with Nimble but prefer Dell PowerStore because you just increase your SSD or hard drive in relation to the IPS. Nimble has an advantage because you can have a fixed IPS with the controller.

Dell PowerStore charges for the hardware warranty every three years. The price will depend on the storage model or how much hardware it has.

Competitors all focus on the all-flash solution. If any customer wants to buy their all-flash storage, besides Dell PowerStore, they can also consider Pure Storage. I would rate Dell PowerStore an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case for this solution is virtual machines and file server databases.

We have found the duplication compression feature very valuable.

The product could be improved by including a synchronizing feature for the file systems.

The supportability of SCME drives for faster data access from PowerStore and is the most valuable feature.

This is a stable solution.

I would rate the customer service for this solution an eight out of ten. 

The initial setup is straightforward. The time it takes to deploy this solution depends on what a customer is looking for. It usually takes between two to three days. We start implementation by gathering the customer requirements before going on-site and completing the implementation.
