"Dell EMC Unity, necessary but expensive investment."
What do you like best about Unity XT?

The strength of Dell EMC, as a whole, is its proactive support, whenever there is a problem in unity (not that there is very often) the Dell EMC support team proactively contact us and help us with the solution. or repair.

Now, speaking of the equipment itself, I can say that its strengths are: simplicity of configuration, friendly interface, high tierization intelligence, providing a very attractive data availability and volumes for the different functions in which we use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unity XT?

Price, price and price. Investing in on-premise storage has always been expensive, greatly impacting TCO, and is now much more evident with cloud storage-as-a-service solutions. This type of equipment needs official support, so, even after purchasing the product for an already high price, we still have to evaluate the investment in support up to the EOL, in our case.

"Unity300: The Storage that gave us security"
What do you like best about Unity XT?

Currently, we use Unity300 for image and video storage with the MAM - Alfred system and for Backup, together with the Bacula Enterprise tool, and we also use it in one of our Vmware clusters, where we run less critical applications. Unity has always been stable and, until today, with 5 years of use, it has not presented any type of failure, working on a 24x7 basis. It's a great product that delivers what it promises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unity XT?

My dissatisfaction is with regard to the value of the product. It's extremely expensive. Support is also very expensive, but it is a product that we can do without. There's also the fact that he's coming to the EOL, if I'm not mistaken, in 2025. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very good storage for Virtualization (VMWare)"
What do you like best about Unity XT?

Much better GUI which connects seamlessly with vCenter. Also it allows for firmware upgrades and drive firmware upgrades to go much smoother.

IQCloud is a great indicator of when something is not going as expected. It also provides help in terms of vulnerabilities since it provided with the proper information and link to the firmware upgrade required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unity XT?

It would be nice to have a snap in on vCenter itself.

Also, domain authentication is a bit of an issue. For example, once you allow domain authentication, you would expect to type username and password on the login screen. However, you need to use the format user@domain which in itself is not too problematic, but the username is actually case sensitive. So if your username has upper case, for normal Windows logon it is not a problem, but for this it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
