Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"The solution is scalable."
"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"It's helped us because we've changed fundamentally what we talk about. We don't talk about storage and different tiers of storage anymore nor do we talk about servers. We talk now about applications and how applications impact the business and end users."
"The most valuable features of Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its superior performance compared to other flash tiers, as well as its ease of use, with an intuitive user interface that is simple to deploy and use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"The performance is good, which is important."
"A valuable feature of XtremIO is that, in terms of administration, it's simple and manageable."
"It was very easy and straightforward to setup."
"Speed and reliability:"
"Performance and deduplication. This is a very robust block storage option that offers both performance and data optimization."
"It has very good performance for an application which needs lower latency and a better response, for example, in microseconds."
"The most valuable features are: complete performance and ease of use."
"XtremIO is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is performance."
"The main feature I have found to be product replication."
"It uses the same platform for connectivity so integration is seamless."
"It performs well and it is also very fast."
"It's very easy-to-use."
"I would rate this solution an eight plus. It has has good flexibility and stability, it's easy to manage and the response time is good."
"The solution is able to handle workloads and is easy to use. It allows us to actually manage the boxes in less time."
"We have seen a reduction in the total cost of ownership by around 20%."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"It is on the expensive side."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"We need better data deduplication."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"We've encountered challenges in integrating other products with Dell Xtremio, as it tends to be more vendor-locked. This means we can't easily explore other solutions that might work alongside Dell."
"I would like to see the ease of deployment and built-in Metro clustering."
"Scalability is something that can be improved because there is an issue when it comes to mixing versions."
"I am not too impressed with XtremeIO because we had a major failure."
"The solution needs to be simplified. When you integrate your storage with other systems, could use a little bit of automation."
"Get rid of the Java aspect of the GUI console."
"I would like to see more scalability."
"The physical architecture could use some higher levels of redundancy."
"It would be beneficial if the layer could support the S3 protocol and be container ready in the next release."
"I have not seen ROI."
"There is some room for new features related to authentication and integration with Kubernetes, and other solution using S3 Bucket."
"File storage needs a lot of improvement. Mainframe connectivity also needs improvement because it requires additional components to be integrated with Pure Storage FlashBlade. If you want to keep your backup data, then this becomes an even more expensive solution because Pure Storage FlashBlade will not be able to meet your backup needs."
"I would like to see better integration."
"I would also like to see better support for CIFS workloads."
"The features provided for SMB customers are limited."
"Compared to, for example, Hitachi NAS, the solution is not mature at all. It's just in its infancy as far as technology goes."
