Considered Both Products	Discontinued Products Sam Majam Systems Administrator in Information Technology at TBC Corporation (Automotive, 10,001+ employees) Chose EMC VNX (Discontinued) EMC VNX is currently EOL, so we are in the process of migrating to EMC Unity and VMAX. We stayed with the EMC portfolio of storage solutions due to their proven record and history of good performance. Incentivized Helpful? Timothy Sawah Lead Systems Engineer in Information Technology at The George Washington University (Higher Education, 1001-5000 employees) Chose EMC VNX (Discontinued) Dell EMC Unity is the improved version of EMC VNX. It has all the features in VNX with better performance. NetApp all flash is faster and more expensive. It performs better with Citrix systems and VDI solutions.

Ryan Andrus Network Services Manager in Information Technology at Davis County Government (Government Administration, 1001-5000 employees) Chose EMC VNX (Discontinued) VNX is a good offering when you are wanting a lot of storage, and reliability. I think there are other offerings that can provide better performance, and come with better UI and tools to monitor your environment. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	EMC VNX (Discontinued)
Likelihood to Recommend	Discontinued Products EMC VNX is suited for VMware environment as it integrates with vCenter. Integrates well with SolarWinds storage monitoring software. It is well suited for enterprise-level organizations with 100+ servers. It is not suited for small businesses as it requires specialized administrators and has relatively high license cost. It is not suited for businesses that host most of their servers on the cloud. Incentivized Timothy Sawah Lead Systems Engineer Read full review
Pros	Discontinued Products VNX has had very solid uptime. Over the course of the last 5 years, we have had very little if any downtime. We have also used it for our home directories, and with the data dedupe on the file side it has saved us a lot of space. Adding additional drive space has also been really easy.

Cons	Discontinued Products It occupies a large floor space in the data center. Unisphere management interface uses Java, which is problematic to run. Incentivized Sam Majam Systems Administrator Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Discontinued Products Dell EMC Unity is the improved version of EMC VNX. It has all the features in VNX with better performance. NetApp all flash is faster and more expensive. It performs better with Citrix systems and VDI solutions. HP MSA storage system is less performant and less expensive. It works better for file and CCTV data storage.

Return on Investment	Discontinued Products I think it has provided improved reliability and performance [compared to] our previous solutions. The lack of performance metrics has led us to need a 3rd party tool that integrates into our Vsphere environment to give us feed back on performance.
