"The storage has been good."
"The initial setup was easy and simple."

"It is an inexpensive storage solution."
"I like the tool's CloudIQ feature."
"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerVault is its performance."

"The product is generally stable, but there have been instances, to my knowledge, where we faced issues in the controller during software upgrades. The availability is not at the desired level during these upgrade processes, as we sometimes need to shut down both controllers. This could be an area for improvement."
"In the next release, I would like the deduplication and compression included, as well as the flash technology. It doesn't currently use it."
"Sometimes integrating into a cluster can be difficult as you have to do it manually."
"PowerVault doesn't integrate with Active Directory. Other storage solutions offer SAN and NAS unified storage in a single appliance, but PowerVault is only SAN."
"The high prices of the solution are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"If the solution came with a synchronous application, it would be particularly advantageous for small businesses operating across multiple sites."
"There have been situations when our customers requested professional support and the price of that feature is quite high."
