Dell PowerStore Reviews

My position is a solution consultant, so I promote Dell PowerStore products or recommend the products to customers. 

Most applications or workloads can fit within Dell PowerStore, except for file serving or surveillance solutions, which require less extensive storage. 

It's the best mid-range storage on the market. It gives users the ability to scale in the future if they need to. 

The clustering feature of Dell PowerStore allows users to federate or cluster several appliances to work as single storage, which is a unique approach. 

The feature of integrated AI and machine learning enhances the usage and operations of the storage, making it one of the key features of Dell PowerStore.

Dell PowerStore has a unique deduplication and compression ratio compared to others in the market, which always comes in our favor when sizing Dell PowerStore against competitors. The deduplication can achieve up to 20X from the original storage capacity.

The pricing point must have better positioning. It is somewhat expensive compared to the competition. 

Another improvement would be to open the integrations with other vendors. Dell has unique integrations with their backup appliances; however, if they open this for other vendors, it might be a better solution for customers since they wouldn't have to purchase a Dell product for backup to have this integration with the storage. 

These two points should have enhancements.

I have been using the solution for three and a half years, since its release about three or four years ago.

We have not faced major issues with the support for Dell PowerStore.

In general, my clients use one appliance per site.

As a primary storage, it has all the features that our customers need, with only minor tweaks or enhancements needed here and there.

I'm also aware of Pure Storage. It is very similar.

The process is simple. It takes half an hour to 45 minutes to set up all the storage and go live with production data. Most implementations we do are on-prem.

Dell PowerStore receives about two or three updates per year, including software updates and firmware updates, which add new features and enhance performance without changing the hardware.

It saves money in the design of the product and solution. Users don't have to change products across their data center lifetime or projects. They can scale within the box regardless of workload or business requirements, saving the hassle of migration to a new solution. This saves money in the long run.

I compare it with Pure Storage, which is the most comparable solution to Dell PowerStore in the market nowadays.

I promote and recommend Dell PowerStore for all workloads to my clients and customers.

Most of my customers have one appliance per site. Approximately 80% of my customers have Dell PowerStore implemented in their data centers.

We always use CLS as another Dell solution for cybersecurity and data security. The CLS is integrated with the Data Domain, PowerProtect Data Domain, not with Dell PowerStore.

Windows, Linux, and some customers use Red Hat or SUSE. We have many operating systems working with Dell PowerStore in the same environments and data centers.

CloudIQ and Storage IQ are used by some customers, but Apex AIOps has not been widely adopted yet. Dell PowerStore has integration with VMware and Kubernetes. Most workloads work fine and have very good integration with Dell PowerStore, except for one or two specific workloads in the market.

On a scale of one to ten, I rate Dell PowerStore a nine.

My use case for Dell PowerStore is for database information and database protection.

Dell PowerStore has helped me address challenges in my organization. The old storage was too slow, while with this storage, we can recover the information very fast.

The most valuable feature of Dell PowerStore is the speed. The speed of information and the ability to recover information are exceptional. 

To be honest, I don't think I could improve Dell PowerStore..

I've used the solution for about four years. 

When comparing the stability and reliability of Dell PowerStore to the old storage, the old storage never worked properly. This solution is more stable from that standpoint. 

The scalability of Dell PowerStore is very good. It's easy to expand. Though I'm not a technician, we have added more memory twice.

I have never worked with the customer service support for Dell PowerStore.

Positive

I previously used HPE, though I don't know which specific product.

Dell PowerStore is a very expensive storage solution. That said, the speed for recovering information is amazing. I would make the product cheaper. The discounts from Dell to South America are not sufficient because we need better pricing. 

The discounts for small PowerStores are not enough to close deals since I'm a distributor. As both a user and seller, it's challenging to sell Dell PowerStore to the channel or final customers because we don't have enough discount from Dell. We need to find deals worth a million or higher, and in my country, I have never sold a Dell PowerStore worth one million dollars.

I did not evaluate other solutions besides HPE because we are distributors of both Dell and HPE. The other vendors didn't have suitable storage solutions for us.

I am only a user of Dell PowerStore. 

On a scale of one to ten, I rate Dell PowerStore a ten. It's working now, and I never find problems with this storage.

We have been mostly dealing with Dell PowerStore. We find both file and block features most valuable in Dell PowerStore. Both are good, and primarily compared to Unity, we are using the Metro feature. We are using the 3200 model of Dell PowerStore. We have two appliances, one in two sites, and we are clustering them. We are using APEX AIOps, also known as CloudIQ. We do use the solution on Linux.

We find both file and block features most valuable in Dell PowerStore. Both are good, and primarily compared to Unity, we are using the Metro feature. We are using the 3200 model of Dell PowerStore with two appliances in two sites that we are clustering together.

We believe there is room for improvement in Dell PowerStore for the file services, but most of it is adequate.

From a cybersecurity perspective, there is not much because immutability does not currently exist. However, for data resiliency, it is fine and is there.

For additional features, immutability features would be nice to see in the future. This is the one thing that needs to be added.

I have been using Dell PowerStore for one year.

We have rated the stability of Dell PowerStore at a 10 out of 10.

Dell PowerStore can be easy to scale and expand. It is scalable, and scale-out is possible.

We receive direct Dell support, and it is very good. We would rate their job a 10.

We switched from Dell Unity because that was the older model, and once the support was done, we switched to the new technology.

Our experience with the deployment was very fast and straightforward. We believe it took approximately one or two days. A single person can do the deployment.

A single person can do it for administration.

We have not yet seen return on investment with Dell PowerStore.

We find the pricing reasonable.

We are satisfied and not looking for any other options at this time.

Everything is adequate regarding the management capabilities. The insights offered by APEX AIOps or CloudIQ are very good. We were using it before as well with Unity, so it is the same feature. Support for workloads with other vendors is fine. We believe that whatever is required for us is being met.

We find the replication features fine, and all are good. In our company, approximately 500 to 1,000 people are using it. We assess the workload performance offered by Dell PowerStore as perfect. It is easy to use for moving and optimizing workloads within the cluster.

We have been able to consolidate data using Dell PowerStore. We are currently working as a customer, whereas previously we used to be a partner. We have a couple of products such as servers, not just Dell PowerStore. We have PowerEdge as well. Our overall review rating for this product is 9 out of 10.

Dell PowerStore is used for our hosted services that have databases, with all database storage being mapped there. We have different services with footprints that are almost 80% on cloud right now, but the remaining 20% is still on-premises. We have Active Directory, a Radius server, file storage, and some small applications that are hosted with database links. All this storage is mapped with our storage wherever required.

Since the deployment of Dell PowerStore, the key benefit compared to 3PAR has been financial. The financial cost is almost half the price compared to HP. From a features and storage perspective, everything is satisfactory. Their support is also excellent, and we do not have any problems with the support or the storage, and we hardly see any complaints.

We have been able to consolidate data using Dell PowerStore. Last year we did the consolidation of seven different servers in server rooms across different companies. We have already migrated most of them and completed the consolidation.

I cannot provide comment on what could be improved or updated with Dell PowerStore because I do not have that knowledge.

Since I do not own the dashboard of the Dell management and monitoring, I do not know what the capabilities are. I am not the subject matter expert for storage, so I will not be able to provide a full-fledged overview or comment on what is missing.

I cannot optimize any process within Dell PowerStore. The only thing I can suggest is perhaps compression. I do not know if the storage has compression features or how they could help. Compression would be beneficial because we have very heavy files such as AutoCAD drawing files. I do not know if that feature exists or how they could help compress data while transferring it, perhaps during synchronization or when users access those files from the client.

We are a customer of this solution.

Regarding the stability and reliability of Dell PowerStore, it is good. Since we put the storage into production, it has never experienced any problems.

The scalability of Dell PowerStore is good. There is an option to upgrade the storage capacity. We have already factored in future requirements, so we did not go for the exact capacity we needed. For example, if our requirement was 100 TB, we went for 200 to 300 TB instead. We have already factored in scalability, and it is up to the mark.

My experience with the technical support of Dell PowerStore is good. They are available in the UAE, and whenever we call them or send them an email, they are always prompt.

I would rate the technical support of Dell PowerStore an eight because no one is perfect, and eight is a fair rating.

Before Dell PowerStore, we used different solutions for these use cases. We had used Fujitsu, HP 3PAR, and EMC. Many different storage systems have been migrated to Dell.

We had no challenges with the initial setup of Dell PowerStore. Initially, when we were setting it up in a non-production environment, we had some problems with configuration and issues with the Dell switch. Later on, it worked. There were some configurational issues.

Dell provided suggestions on how to resolve the configuration issue. We did the configuration accordingly, but when we practically implemented it, it was not working at that time. We resolved the problem using our own method, applying the same similar pattern we used for HP ProCurve configuration.

We participated in the initial setup and deployment of Dell PowerStore. Initially, it was done by Dell directly, but we were involved in the design, so we were partially involved.

We decided to switch from previous solutions to Dell PowerStore for two main reasons. First, the primary purpose was consolidation. Second, we did an apple-to-apple comparison between different technologies. We established selection criteria metrics where we gave ratings based on our findings. Financial was one of the major factors, but we also did a technical comparison between storage capabilities, dashboards, and other features that we could evaluate. We finally chose to go with Dell.

Dell PowerStore fulfills our needs, so we are satisfied with it. If we had any complaints or issues after the migration from 3PAR to Dell, we should have already raised them with Dell, but so far it has been good. I would rate Dell PowerStore an eight overall.

Dell PowerStore is designed for large enterprises that require storage solutions with high availability and disaster recovery capabilities. I believe Dell PowerStore is the best solution for this purpose.

Dell PowerStore improves operational efficiency because when deployment issues arise, we have partners and distributors for Dell who assist us in deploying and resolving technical issues with customers.

I find Dell PowerStore and PowerMax to be very simple and highly competitive products compared to others.

The biggest advantages of Dell PowerStore are that the recovery solution is easy to use, smarter, and more flexible. It is easy to deploy and straightforward for most customers to use.

Dell PowerStore simplifies moving and optimizing workloads. It integrates well with VMware and other solutions.

The security features of Dell PowerStore, including data resiliency and overall cybersecurity capabilities, represent the most important aspect that all customers prioritize.

Deduplication in Dell PowerStore is a significant advantage because it reduces the amount of data requiring backup or storage, potentially minimizing size by approximately 90%.

Dell PowerStore offers the ability to add capacity in single drive increments, which provides considerable advantage for capacity expansion and upgrading. It is highly scalable, with both scaling up and scaling out capabilities already present.

The primary limitation is that Dell PowerStore typically uses SSD disks, making it more expensive than alternatives. I believe the price should be reduced somewhat.

Regarding lifecycle extension, previously branded as Anytime Upgrade, I would suggest to Dell that support and upgrading inventory should be available in stock at stores in Dubai, England, and Ireland. However, there is currently no stock for this product in Egypt.

I have been selling Dell PowerStore for four years.

Dell PowerStore is very stable.

Dell PowerStore is a plug-and-play solution that offers features suitable for migration and meets customer needs for high workload performance, read and write capabilities, and high availability.

Scalability is important. Dell PowerStore offers the ability to add capacity in single drive increments, which provides considerable advantage for capacity expansion and upgrading.

Dell PowerStore is highly scalable with both scaling up and scaling out capabilities already present, so I assure customers that they need not worry about scalability concerns.

Technical support from Dell is very good. I promote Dell's customer service as one of the most important advantages I present to customers because they have call centers in all countries. Customers do not need to rely solely on partners; they can directly contact the Dell customer service center, which resolves issues based on the support level provided.

Dell PowerStore integrates with VMware and other solutions. However, problems exist with VMware in our region because when Dell sold it, ownership transferred to another company named Broadcom.

I present the primary advantage of Dell PowerStore to customers as its ease of deployment.

We have deployed Dell PowerStore on Linux, but it is typically deployed with VMware rather than Linux.

Sometimes, I deploy Dell PowerStore on AWS cloud and sometimes on other cloud providers.

A reasonable estimate for ROI would be around 80%.

Overall, Dell PowerStore falls between an affordable price and expensive, as all customers seek affordable pricing and may have cost-related requirements. However, CapEx savings of 70% can be achieved with Dell PowerStore because of numerous advantages that reduce CapEx.

Dell should offer additional products to be installed with Dell PowerStore, similar to Nutanix or Sangfor. I can work with Nutanix and Sangfor.

The deduplication feature minimizes data size for backup and storage, which can be reduced by up to 90%. Dell PowerStore offers additional capabilities such as integration with VMware and CloudIQ, a new feature that is not yet widely used in my country.

Problems may occur when deploying on Linux, as its primary focus is security, making it less common in my country except for banking applications.

Small and medium business companies can purchase Dell PowerStore even though it is more expensive than entry-level products.

Stock availability is not present in Egypt.

When discussing CapEx, I inform customers that Dell PowerStore will save significant CapEx and provide the ability to achieve additional CapEx savings in their operations because numerous advantages can reduce their CapEx expenditures.

I provide this review with a rating of 9 out of 10.

I work with Dell PowerStore for our key VMware environment. Dell PowerStore is easy to set up, and we have experienced no issues thus far. It works well, and we have achieved the performance we were looking for. It is quite scalable for our environment, and the VMware integration is also available.

We are using Dell PowerStore 5200T model with almost 500 terabyte capacity, and we have almost four appliances.

We have been able to consolidate data to a certain extent using Dell PowerStore. From a couple of storages, we were able to consolidate them into Dell PowerStore, so consolidation was achieved.

I have not experienced any crashes, downtimes, performance issues, or stability issues with Dell PowerStore. However, I think the upgrade process could take some time, and if it becomes faster, it would be helpful.

Dell PowerStore has helped to reduce our organization's CAPEX, capital expenditures, to some extent. I would not say completely, but we are able to consolidate to reduce it.

The ability to add capacity in single drive increments versus drive packs is not very important for us because these enhancements typically do not happen at that level. It may be important for some other organizations, but not for us.

The initial setup and onboarding process of Dell PowerStore was straightforward.

The powerful features of Dell PowerStore include its unified architecture, which offers scalability, and the NVMe support that enhances performance. The data resiliency and cybersecurity features such as immutable snapshots and multi-factor authentication are crucial for data safety.

Dell PowerStore's workload performance is robust, supported by NVMe, ensuring no issues with performance. Reliability is critical, and Dell PowerStore is dependable with no major issues.

For those looking for reliable storage that works well with most workloads, and if they are part of the Dell ecosystem or looking to consolidate storage with good performance, then Dell PowerStore is a suitable option.

The management capabilities of Dell PowerStore, especially in terms of ease of use, are excellent.

The built-in integrations of Dell PowerStore with different ecosystems including VMware, Kubernetes, and containers make configuration easy, enhancing productivity.

We are not clustering multiple Dell PowerStore appliances currently because we are spread across geographies in different locations.

The support for Dell PowerStore is similar to others; not too extraordinary, but acceptable. It could be better, approximately a six out of ten.

Apart from the upgrading process and technical support, these are the main areas of Dell PowerStore that I would like to see improved or enhanced in the future.

There is nothing particular that comes to mind as a missing feature for Dell PowerStore.

I have been working with Dell PowerStore for three or four years, since the different iterations have been coming.

I have not experienced any crashes, downtimes, performance issues, or stability issues with Dell PowerStore. However, I think the upgrade process could take some time, and if it becomes faster, it would be helpful.

Dell PowerStore is easy to set up, and we have experienced no issues thus far. It works well, and we have achieved the performance we were looking for. It is quite scalable for our environment, and the VMware integration is also available.

The main benefits I have seen from using Dell PowerStore include its unified architecture, which provides scalability. We have not scaled it yet, but there is scalability available, which is useful.

The support for Dell PowerStore is similar to others; I would say not too extraordinary, but acceptable. It could be better, approximately a six out of ten.

Positive

I have partially switched from NetApp to Dell PowerStore because a portion of NetApp is still in use.

The initial setup and onboarding process of Dell PowerStore was straightforward.

I was involved in the deployment aspect, and my experience with the deployment of Dell PowerStore was that it was easy. Since we already had experience with other Dell products, it was quite familiar for us, and it was smooth.

For some things, we use Dell professional services for the deployment of Dell PowerStore. The rest we do ourselves.

The benefits from Dell PowerStore have been present in terms of ROI, mainly because of consolidation, which saves on power and provides a benefit in terms of ROI.

Dell PowerStore has helped to reduce our organization's CAPEX, capital expenditures, to some extent. I would not say completely, but we are able to consolidate to reduce it.

I would say we have reduced CAPEX by around ten percent, not more than that.

The pricing aspect of Dell PowerStore is comparable to others; I would not say that anyone is too cheap or too costly in this context. It is certainly equivalent to others.

The Dell ecosystem is huge, and if you are in their server, storage, compute, and everything, it makes sense because the integration is good. In other ecosystems or storages, there are multiple stakeholders, and sometimes it becomes difficult while troubleshooting things.

Reliability is the most impactful feature of Dell PowerStore for my organization. It works well, with no issues at all, and that is very important.

Dell PowerStore's compression and deduplication technologies are important for us, but I would say they provide a good amount of deduplication or compression, although it is not something groundbreaking or very extraordinary. It is decent.

We are looking to address specific challenges or goals by implementing Dell PowerStore, such as security features including immutable snapshots, using the AIOps features more to take corrective action when required, and reducing operational efforts with AIOps.

I do use Apex AIOps, also known as CloudIQ, with Dell PowerStore, but I would say we do not use it much. I know it is very useful, but we do not use it much.

The insights offered by Apex AIOps are insightful, and I would say we have not explored all the features thus far.

I have been working in my current field as a solution architect or technical architect for the last twenty-four years.

We are a customer of Dell, and for some use cases, we have also resold it, so we could be considered a reseller in some capacity.

I am still with LTI Mindtree as a practice lead for storage and backup.

I rate Dell PowerStore as a product and solution an eight out of ten.

As a reseller and Dell-only reseller partner organization, I have a number of customers who are currently using Dell PowerStore. It's a solution that we find is a great solution in the market. When Dell PowerStore first came to the market, a lot of our clients had VxRail with the convergence offering that Dell had. However, now with the Broadcom split from Dell with the VMware licensing, we're finding that with having Dell PowerStore with the AX nodes and the OEM Dell VMware solution built in, it's providing a very comprehensive solution to our customers. That's really helping us grow. We certainly find Dell PowerStore to be one of the best products out there in the market in terms of use cases for a lot of our customers across the board.

Because Dell PowerStore is built in with the all-flash and the NVMe platforms and the United offering it has with the single architecture for block, files, and the virtual volumes, it provides functionality and flexible functionality for our customers. They can use Dell PowerStore for various use cases. We've got customers in FinTech, in manufacturing, and in different industries as well. It's not really just suited for one type of industry; it can be used for many types of organizations.

We're in conversations with several organizations about using Dell PowerStore for AI initiatives. AI is obviously something that's more prevalent in the market and growing. We recently had a customer who had an 82-node VxRail. They had a refresh earlier in the year. Now they have Dell PowerStore with AX nodes. They have a cyber recovery solution as well, an air gap solution with a clean room. They're looking at how they can make their supply chain more efficient since they produce manufactured kitchens. A lot of it is learning what AI is capable of doing for their business and trying to see the benefits. We tend to find that FinTech organizations and companies doing trading are more interested in that type of technology. As AI matures, we will see more use cases for them.

Being a Dell-only organization, I have been working with Dell PowerStore from the concept when it first came out, replacing the Unity devices and becoming more of the go-to-market. We've been working on it from day one. We've got customers with quite a lot of data on Dell PowerStore, quite large organizations that are carrying hundreds and hundreds of terabytes of data. It's fantastic, and the customers find it very easy to use. We've not had any complaints around it being a difficult product in terms of simplicity and use. It's been great.

The fact that Dell PowerStore has cloud integration really helps. Many of our customers have hybrid cloud environments where they're holding data on-site, but also they push some of the data up into the cloud. Having that cloud integration is really useful for us. The business continuity and disaster recovery features provide robust data protection capability, including snapshotting and replication for both planned and unplanned downtime. Mixed workloads are also supported, including Microsoft SQL servers and container-based applications.

The ease of use is significant. Dell PowerStore has one GUI in terms of how to use it. It integrates very well with the data protection suites and the cybersecurity side. It's a storage platform that allows efficient data access and makes upgrades very easy to do. In the past, with a three-tier system, it was very difficult to do everything in silo, whereas with Dell PowerStore, upgrades, management, and maintenance are very easy.

With the anytime upgrade options that Dell PowerStore has, it really fits and suits our customers. They can upgrade anytime they want and add extra capacity without having the constraints of acquiring a different solution or re-architecting the environment.

What would make it perfect is addressing the occasional lack of continuity with consultants who are on projects for five to six weeks regarding Dell PowerStore. With any type of support, there will always be some types of breakage. We find the support very easy to access and helpful. A recent customer reported that the support representative was completely dedicated to helping them. The support representative was almost emotionally invested in the problem. There are some excellent technical professionals in the team who are dedicated to resolving issues.

Information regarding performance metrics or benchmarks used to measure success with Dell PowerStore is not available.

Dell PowerStore is a very reliable product that our customers love. In the early days, there were some challenges with the new product, but it's now a very mature product that works really well. When Dell PowerStore is implemented properly and integrated within a customer environment, it performs as expected. We've always had confidence with the product.

We handle deployment of Dell PowerStore as one of the highest certified Dell partners in the UK. Our success has been driven by our delivery capabilities. We've won numerous awards, including EMEA Services Partner last year. Our deployment expertise is why customers choose us. We understand the products thoroughly, can drive solution value, and implement it within networks, bringing in different applications. Our implementation skills are highly certified on these products.

Being a Dell partner for the last 12 years, we know who to contact when our customers have problems with Dell PowerStore. We've built personal relationships with teams, line managers, and senior people, which helps us get things done for our customers. Dell is a large organization that serves many customers, but we're fortunate to know who to call when issues arise. Our managed service team is very technical and can fix most problems. When customers need to contact Dell, we maintain the relationship and handle it on their behalf as part of our services.

Positive

We have seen return on investment from selling Dell PowerStore. We see significant customer loyalty towards the brand and solution. A customer we met last week who has Dell PowerStore stated that they love the solution because it works and does what they need it to do. They can sleep peacefully at night knowing it will perform without issues. This gives us customer retention and loyalty back to us as a solution provider, having full confidence that when we sell this to a customer, we can guarantee it will work and meet their needs.

I would advise potential users to definitely conduct a POC with Dell PowerStore and examine the product. It is a very comprehensive solution with capabilities that are superior to many other vendors. Dell has hundreds of case studies available for reference. Testing the product would make it difficult to choose another vendor's solution. I rate Dell PowerStore a 10 out of 10.

I use the product myself as our company's service. I act as an outsource for another company, so we can manage many devices for multiple customers, such as HPE and IBM. Dell PowerStore is used on Linux with multiple devices and multiple VMs with multiple operating systems. The storage service is provisioned to Microsoft Hyper-V with VMs, Windows VMs, and Linux. There is also an IBM Power server with the storage mapped to it, which contains both Linux and AIX, providing a variety of operating systems that exist in the environment.

I recommend Dell PowerStore for companies that depend on ERP systems or SAP because the performance is excellent.

There are many features in Dell PowerStore, and one that I appreciate increasingly is the snapshot scheduling, which offers snapshots at scheduled times and helps with UAT cases or test cases. We can use the snapshot to create a new volume from it and map it to a VM or another LPAR as we use IBM Power.

The compression technology in Dell PowerStore is excellent. The physical hard disk with an actual size of 30 terabytes can hold or host data of nearly 80 terabytes.

The workload performance in Dell PowerStore is outstanding. There are many servers, as I mentioned regarding the storage provisioned to Microsoft Hyper-V with multiple VMs, nearly more than 50 VMs, and on the IBM Power servers, maybe more than 20, 25, or 30 LPARs. LPARs act as VMs but on Power servers, and there is a difference in naming between VMs and LPARs. Most of the 25, I believe about half, are ERP systems between Linux and AIX, such as SAP HANA, which especially uses many resources.

From my experience, Dell PowerStore is the best option on the market at the moment, but the worst thing is the price, which is too high compared to IBM or other vendors. I think the price may be double or near to double.

I believe the documentation provided for Dell PowerStore is not adequately fair. I would rate it around seven.

I have been working with Dell PowerStore for four years now.

I have not found any weaknesses in Dell PowerStore. The features are excellent, and it offers many detailed report IOs over four to five years, which you can retrieve at any time by reports for each LUN, not the whole storage. You can access reports for each LUN or for each disk that you map to. This feature is also excellent. The interface is pleasant as well, although there was a bug at the beginning, in maybe the first year, as it was the first version of firmware or the OS.

Dell PowerStore is scalable. However, the client did not request to scale as they use the same data. The sizing over four years has been excellent and has held the data growth from these four years.

I would rate their technical support as a 10 out of 10. It is excellent, with fast response for any corrupted device and very fast replacement.

Deployment for Dell PowerStore is straightforward with no issues. It is easy to implement.

If the high rate is 10, I would rate Dell PowerStore at 10. Overall, I rate Dell PowerStore a 10. For cybersecurity, I did not work with it directly. We use it as an isolated device with no phone home configuration to keep it isolated from outside traffic. AIOps is not used, as the customer is traditional at this time. I do not know if they will implement that in the near future, but currently it is traditional. I believe they tend to upgrade to PowerMax and are now currently investigating between PowerMax or expanding the current version of the current device. There are no additional features in my mind at this time that I would prefer to see in the next release of Dell PowerStore. The review rating for Dell PowerStore is 10 out of 10.
