PowerScale Reviews & Product Details

What I like best about PowerScale is that it is a highly scalable and simple to manage, scale-out NAS storage solution from DellEMC that excels with large, unstructured datasets and AI workloads. It provides us with the reliability we need since we never face any downtime, thanks to its redundant hardware with hot swappable capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No SAN , I would say that one of the main concerns with PowerScale is that it can be quite expensive for storage solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its extreme scalability (managing petabytes easily), simplicity (single namespace, unified management), and performance for big data/AI workloads, thanks to the OneFS OS, multiprotocol access (NFS, SMB, S3), and efficiency features like deduplication/compression, all while delivering robust data protection and flexibility for modern unstructured data challenges.

I am impressed with Dell EMC Isilon's scalability. The system's ability to scale from terabytes to petabytes of data allows us to easily expand our storage capacity as our needs change. In addition, Isilon's support for multiple protocols and ease of use is one the great features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One potential downside of Dell EMC Isilon is its cost. Isilon can be a relatively expensive storage solution, particularly for smaller organizations with limited budgets. Additionally, while Isilon is user-friendly, its advanced features and customization options may require more technical expertise to fully utilize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hardware-wise - Dell is just perfect!

We install the system and forget about the maintenance part. There will be rarely any failures unless the hardware rear outs or if my datacenter guy pick something out :p Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Back in 2018 when the product was new and still enhancing its feature then it was little pain to get the issue resolved and take a quite long to perform corrections however now it is quite stable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
