User Testimonials
	Dell PowerFlex	FalconStor StorSafe	Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure
Likelihood to Recommend	Dell Technologies Definitely would recommend this unit or this family of units into most peoples organizations. Especially if you're starting fresh with a whole dedicated SAN and dont have to move a ton of data over to these (though that is possible, it is very messy). If you're moving from existing storage, then you will have to be prepared for some sore spots!

Pros	Dell Technologies Gets all your (SAN) ducks in a row, and makes it easy with a single pane of glass The usual good dell support if you're paying for the right support level It can get expensive with options added but base price is pretty competitive Incentivized Verified User Read full review	FalconStor Software No answers on this topic	Red Hat No answers on this topic
Cons	Dell Technologies Costs are high, especially when having to replace multiple old SAN's with the one type There is alot of down time when you have to push updates out to the units Not sure we still have the full hang of all the functions as there's some pretty deep functions that are not explained well Incentivized Verified User Read full review	FalconStor Software No answers on this topic	Red Hat No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Dell Technologies Money saved in having a bunch of other competing storage units All kinds of time saved for our admins that have to deal with storage The units look good and give you that futurey data center vibe!
