VMAX [EOL] Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
IT Service Manager at Kuveyt Turk Participation Bank4.0I use EMC VMAX for core banking. It's a reliable, high-performing solution with good UI and support; setup is straightforward. Stability and cluster support need improvement. I rate it 8/10.
IT Service Manager at Kuveyt Turk Participation Bank4.0I've used this stable EMC storage solution for five years. Its interface, performance, and support are good. Setup is easy, and scalability isn't an issue. I rate it eight out of ten, but wish it had high-availability.
Senior Systems Engineer at a energy/utilities company with 201-500 employees4.0I've used VMAX for 10 years, appreciating its reliability, data availability, and good performance in our VMware and Exchange environment. While management has improved, the expensive pricing and lack of advanced deduplication/compression are leading us to explore alternative solutions.
Senior Systems Engineer at a financial services firm with 201-500 employees4.5I use VMAX for resilient data replication, finding it stable with good support. My vintage version has volume configuration and scalability issues, but newer products have addressed these. I rate it 9/10.
IT Manager - Storage & Backup at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees5.0I appreciate VMAX3's non-disruptive operations and simplified management for our critical production systems, including various databases and platforms. My main improvement wish is for enhanced scale-out capabilities, avoiding monolithic migrations.
Consultant at a government with 1,001-5,000 employees4.0We are upgrading from our stable VMAX3, which served us well for five years (8/10), to PowerMax 2000. We expect improved performance and better cost-effectiveness from PowerMax, which we are currently implementing.
Head of Microinformatics at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees5.0I like its many new features, especially all-flash, and find it very stable. I'd like vPlex integration and better testing means, but I see ROI. We also considered HP and Hitachi.
‎Chief Catalyst at ssnc5.0I use VMAX for SAN storage and RecoverPoint replication, finding storage presentation easy. However, I believe resilience, replication, reporting, and performance need significant improvement.
