{"quote":"One area of suggestion for the platform engineering team is that when they do introduce new features not turn them on by default, let the customer decide if they want to use those new features.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"It isn't as user-friendly as other options, especially regarding the user interface.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"The biggest area in PowerStore that needs improvement is the overall visibility within the ESX environment.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The hardware has always been reliable.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Dell PowerStore is too expensive, and it could be less complicated.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"It lacks in SVM functionality.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Dell PowerStore can improve the integration with VMware.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The solution didn't have all of the features we needed.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"They should be stored for longer so we can do better investigations.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The support team doesn't always provide adequate assistance.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Something needs to be done with the caching to ensure that if some issue occurs, there needs to be an ability to disable caching during maintenance to make it static, safe, and good.","score":10}

{"quote":"We should be able to do some better metrics.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"When we are on the VM website, the storage side is also not easy when adding storage to the host on the PowerStore side.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"No one had any references to that cached data, which completely destroyed our data.","score":9}

{"quote":"There could be better reporting.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"When you evaluate deployment after purchasing the Dell storage, you have to add the ESXI host to the Dell server. That time, the IP address is not taken easily.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The one was running online as a master, but somehow, the caching was lost because both the nodes were offline.","score":8}

{"quote":"When adding the address for the host on the Dell side, it is not easy.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"We'd like to see some improvements on the security side.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"There needs to be some sort of better feedback between the two nodes.","score":7}

{"quote":"Everything is pretty good. Just improve the network side.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"From an air gap perspective and data protection, I'd like to see more immutable backups.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"We need to find a way to ensure the cache data is safe and secure.","score":8}

{"quote":"We had an issue where we lost both nodes, completely lost all our caching, and had to rebuild that whole appliance from scratch.","score":9}

{"quote":"Easy understanding. That is important for the user.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"The product does everything I need it to do for me.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"From a feature-oriented point of view, I don't want to see anything additional in the product since it is kind of a purpose-built appliance from what I understand.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"I have managed several pieces of Dell PowerStore's hardware area, and I could feel that it was almost like a step back in certain areas when it came to the management interface.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"There are some management issues in Dell PowerStore.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Though Dell PowerStore is generally easy to manage, it is not as easy as how one can manage Dell Unity XT.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"As a system administrator, it would be great to use and see through CLI since getting informed at such a level within the interface will be a great improvement since more detailed information is always good.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"With the product's current interface, as a system administrator, I just see that the disks are either good or bad, and that's it.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"The product's new interface with HTML5 interface is still in the development phase because it lacks the crucial information that system administrators need, like, for example, the degradation of the disk.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"In our organization, we had to deal with bad firmware last year that generated fast degradation of the disks, and Dell informed us when they would replace the disks, but we couldn't see any notifications about the disks being degraded.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"It's a key driver.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"In our organization, we do firmware updates due to security breaches or vulnerabilities, and as a system administrator, it is important for me to know that the base hardware is in good condition and safe to deal with against hacker attempts while also looking out for any problems within the software itself.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Dell PowerStore's throughput limit of the boxes can be improved.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"AI will be a challenge and we must manage different kinds of data with more performance and security.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The synchronous replication was only added recently.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"Dell PowerStore helps to keep the software we rely on in our organization up and running.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The AI-based features can also help users maintain data in a more reachable manner during high demand.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"AI-based functionalities can enhance the tool's performance in moments when the demand is high from the users.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Dell PowerStore is an unfinished product compared to the HPE systems because it is relatively new.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"We have not seen an ROI and it would be good to have an ROI calculator made available by Dell.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The product can improve by offering AI-based functionalities to users.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The competition has had the feature for years.","score":7}

{"quote":"Dell PowerStore has just caught up to some of the competition by introducing METRO nodes.","score":8}

{"quote":"Dell PowerStore needs to continue evolving and incorporating new cutting-edge technology.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Dell PowerStore needs to add two-way replication to include data from the DR to the production site.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Dell PowerStore currently only allows us to copy data from our main production system to the disaster recovery site.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"In my organization, we have had to go through two weeks with no replication, which is not very handy for our production environment.","score":"10"}

{"quote":"Sometimes, the replication part of the product doesn't work, and because of this, our organization has to contact Dell's support to fix it.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Since Dell PowerStore's system health check runs correctly, there is a need to bypass the health check during the upgrading process.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"In our organization, we face difficulties when updating the product.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"It can be considered as an area of concern where improvements are required.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"After the smooth launch of the product in our company, only the areas around upgrades are a bit problematic.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"After upgrades, there were a few bugs in the product.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"The support team should have more people with experience in the solution's installation process.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"When we will have version 3 of PowerStore's operating system, in less than six months, my rating will probably go up.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"The tool should focus on making it possible for users to configure the tool in a uniform mode with its good features.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"It should be more flexible.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"We have other NAS solutions, but if someone wanted to have a unified frame, this is not the right solution, currently.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"In Dell, you can only have one or two admins, and you cannot give permissions independently.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Even Dell EMC has said that to us. We are waiting for version 3 of PowerStore for that.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"Sometimes, you have to go back and forth with the technical support team, where they want you to do something you've already done.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"Sometimes, you have to explain the issue multiple times to the first line of support, making it an area where Dell's support team needs to make improvements.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"In NetApp, you can give two virtual storages and give them each to a different company.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"This is the NAS part and, currently, the NAS part is very poor. It's very basic.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Hopefully, the new model will increase performance making it more efficient.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"When you create a case on Dell's support website, you don't always get someone who is experienced in the kind of systems you need help with when you deal with the first line of support offered by Dell PowerStore.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"You cannot delegate permissions.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"As a partner, I'd like to be added to each customer's CloudIQ to take a look.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"With the latter, you can access the frame using either block—Fibre Channel or iSCSI, and on the other side you can access it using IP protocols, like NFS or CIFS.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"This caused some issues with my largest customer in Romania.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"The product can provide backup directly to Dell Data Domain, which we use in our environment, which is something nice for the future.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"You cannot monitor as well with this product.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The solution's pricing needs to be moderated a bit.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The NAS capabilities have room for improvement.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"There is a bit less functionality than, for example, NetApp.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"There is an issue with Dell PowerStore related to future expansions which are software-related.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Currently, two providers of block devices offer vaulting capabilities, allowing for signing within multiple objects or on a partition.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"We are also evaluating a proposal from a provider named Wasabi, which provides an alternative to Amazon S3.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"A good improvement for PowerStore would be to have an embedded vaulting feature.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The only thing is that with PowerStore, we don't have a solution for the file object.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"So, we never faced any problems or significant failures for two and a half years.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Initially, we had some problems with the firmware, and it was a serious problem. But, after six months, we upgraded two or three times, after which we didn't experience any problems.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"Also, we haven't experienced any downtime, and we switched from primary to secondary and so on, and there has been no problem.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Dell PowerStore should offer more cybersecurity and warehouse data security.","score":8}

{"quote":"Now we are not pushing the PowerStore to its maximum capability, so we are down in respect of the limit of PowerStore we use in our organization.","score":"7"}
