    Dell PowerVault suits SMB needs, VMware datastores, and backup targets where cost and simplicity matter. It's less ideal for latency-sensitive workloads, or environments needing sophisticated replication and automation.

    As Dell EMC VxRail comes as pre-built, the deployment process is simple and easy. It is possible to scale out easily and will get support from the vendor instantly. As it is a Hyperconverged Infrastructure and it is also the integration of Dell EMC hardware and Vmware, the flexibility that VxRail provides is effective. An organization that is looking for all in one place like data management, network management, Integration, and backup software ecosystem can go for this product.

    It's reliable and familiar to Dell-centric teams. Purpose-built modern arrays from Pure or HPE offer a noticeably smoother experience for the same core tasks.

    Pure Storage is much better overall. If you need to have a 7.2K solution or an array where you have several speeds needed (7K, 10K, or SSD) then Powervault is good. It is also much cheaper than Pure Storage.

    All of these solutions scored very close together in our testing. Nutanix actually was the highest scoring in ease-of-use, but the integration with Vmware and the pricepoint led us to choose VxRail.
