{"quote":"It would be interesting to retain the option to configure PowerStore as a block storage array and try out the NAS features to see how it performs.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"If you want to delve into where your I/Os are going, the reporting might need more in-depth information to make informed decisions.","score":"10"}

{"quote":"With PowerStore, we have to choose between block storage and NAS functionality.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The reporting is generally good for general purposes, it may lack sufficient detail for more technical analysis.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"In the past, with Unity, we could run both block storage and configure part of the system as a NAS system. This wasn't ideal, but it provided flexibility.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Data reduction needs improvement.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The current price is slightly higher than the competition.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"We would consider this solution if the pricing is competitive with other options, as it offers a very good solution.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Dell PowerStore is quite expensive.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Documentation and videos are not very rich and should include the whole interface with detailed information that can be shared with customers.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"It is important to understand the solution before speaking with customers about its functionality and benefits.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"More demonstration and training options are needed.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"I was able to learn more about products, schedule demos, view functionalities, and run tests in real-time.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The solution should include access to Dell Demo Center.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"When I was looking for information on switching features on and off there was not a lot available.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"Products that are not native sometimes cause migration issues.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"There are certain shortcomings with the technical support team of Dell PowerStore, where improvements are required.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"I had trouble finding articles on the internet about it.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"Dell PowerStore needs to be a more powerful product.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"A downside of Powerstore is that it can only do thin provisioning.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Dell PowerStore is not a powerful tool.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"It is very expensive.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"My understanding is that that is in the roadmap.","score":"5"}

{"quote":"The pricing could be lower.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The VASA plugins for ESX could be enhanced.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"It has more deduplication and compression processes, all the storage, so that they do not depend on the tool embedded in the cluster.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"It needs more mature code.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"There are a lot of features in IBM that we'd like to see in PowerStore as well.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"It seems like they just kind of merged two products and made this solution and while I'm sure it's great for smaller shops, we are not a small shop.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"We felt like this was just kind of a mix of Extreme IO and Unity.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"The price has room for improvement.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"Horizontal scaling has room for improvement.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"It's unfortunate that the solution does not feature Flash trace.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"If a customer finds out SSD is not supported, they will look for another option.","score":"10"}

{"quote":"I would like to see more integration and more security features included.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"We'd like the option to be more flexible.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"It doesn't support SSD or Flash.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The solution only supports NPE.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"It could be more scalable.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The support is not very good.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"If I hadn't bought the Dell switches, I would've had some issues with my legacy switches.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"In the next release, PowerStore should add more artificial intelligence features.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"It's also only supported with a limited amount of switches.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Dell PowerStore is a good solution overall, but some models could support hypervisors better by allowing for more customization and flexibility for customer needs.","score":8}

{"quote":"PowerStore's management console could be improved.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"It would be good if there was a way to simplify the network complexity.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The cost of technical support is high.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"It took as long to configure it correctly for the networking, as to roll it out.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The networking was difficult and complicated.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The user interface could be improved.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"We want to see additional public to private cloud adoption features included if they are at all possible.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"The UI should be a little more user-friendly to manage.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"I would like to see more automation and more analytics in this product.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"We had folks that helped us through, however, we did have some bumps and bruises along the way.","score":7}

{"quote":"Even just the upgrade processes and knowing what to expect, as well as documentation, could be more robust.","score":9}

{"quote":"It was very new when we first deployed it a year ago.","score":6}

{"quote":"We are looking for the Dell PowerStore to become more mature to maximize our use cases.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"I would like a feature for how to best secure an appliance and the storage since we are connecting the container to the public cloud.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The storage could be improved.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"We have had to purchase the remaining quantity of the disks we need.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"There are a few things that Dell has to change, fix, or upgrade.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"Dell EMC has met us partway on this DRR issue by providing some of the additional disks free of charge.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"I would rate it as seven or eight out of 10.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"As a result, we have had to add new physical disks to reach our goal of total available disk space.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"I have never patched so often as I have with PowerStore.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"Be able to massage the report a little bit better.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"This may be due to an issue with Dell EMC's initial analysis of data compression.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"It's not good to do so many upgrades.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Some of the very technical guys on my team want to see more of the details.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Again and again, we have problems with upgrades.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The only area I can highlight for improvement is that the 4:1 data reduction target has not been reached.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"It's very simplistic sometimes.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"Overall, they need to make the system stable.","score":"10"}

{"quote":"We would like to see this added in a future release.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"Reporting is an area that could be improved.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"What we are missing is the monitoring. We cannot implement the health check of the system in our monitoring system.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"Many customers are looking for a cyber recovery feature included in PowerStore.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"According to the warranty, we should have had a dedupe rate of at least two and we had not reached this value.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"It would be better if the software cycling was faster.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"Today we have two different versions of VMware ESXi running to keep the PowerStore online.","score":"6"}

{"quote":"We would also like it to be much more aligned with the VMware version.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"The system needs to improve by adding more enterprise features like replication on other sites.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"There are a lot of solutions similar to PowerStore in regards to networking capacity and their prices are very cheap compared to PowerStore.","score":"10"}

{"quote":"When you create the volume but there is no data, you don't see how the actual capacity grows.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"It is very expensive though when you get to this point of using the 3000 with a client.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"The information they gave us said we would directly see the capacity. Unfortunately, that is not true. You only see it after you put data on it.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"PowerStore can compete with any vendor and the price isn't that expensive.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"We have an issue with the integration of this box and VMware.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"If we use the 500 or 1000, the licensing and pricing are reasonable.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"I would like to see a Snapshot feature.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The product could be improved by including a synchronizing feature for the file systems.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"I do not like having to use VPLEX for synchronous replication, as opposed to having the store software built-in.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"PowerStore should include more NAS functionality.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"There is no Synchronize replication feature on the storage.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"They price it based on effective capacity, not raw capacity.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"We chose it because it was reasonably priced and met our requirements.","score":"9"}

{"quote":"However, it should be more flexible.","score":"7"}

{"quote":"The pricing structure and licensing model of Dell PowerStore are very good and I like it.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"The price is medium, not very high or low.","score":"8"}

{"quote":"Dell PowerStore is too expensive for what it does.","score":9}
