  • It basically supports the system with big-size VM disks; it should be made available to support other devices and hardware as well.
  • They may also need to improve on complex configuration.

Compared to others, Dell provides a more sophisticated software and the UI is simply so smooth. It feels native and Dell understands the requirement pretty well. Analytics ia simple and easy to use. Creating complex dashboards is a easy task for somone who knows around the tool. Only downside is the price.
