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."Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"It is very easy to install and configure. It has got excellent diagnostics. If you really need to see how the box is performing, the console gives you a lot of information. You can set thresholds as well as alerts based on the thresholds, which is a very powerful functionality. They are very proactive. They know how to monitor and manage the systems. They see a problem, and they are all over it before us. They see the problem before we see it, which is very good."
"The solution is quite scalable."
"The performance and the processor are good."
"The fact that they offer free training is awesome. There are not very many vendors that do that."
"InfoSight is a valuable feature."
"InfoSight - analytics sight that collects data for all Nimble arrays deployed"
"Good architecture and produces a lot of IOPS."
"It's very stable and fast, and I am very happy with the deduplication. It saves a lot of space, which is great."
"I have found the convergence rate and deduplication the most valuable features."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"We love the real-time replication, ease of use when connecting our servers to the storage, and the level of redundancy inside the box... It's also simple software and integrates well with VMware so we get a lot of information about all of the VMs, how they're performing individually, and about network latency. That's very helpful when you're troubleshooting a slowdown."
"Tintri VMstore is rock solid. We have not had a single issue with stability. It is also very low maintenance allowing us to concentrate on project work."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"Right now, the box itself is just strictly working as a backend storage system. It would be fantastic if we could access it directly like a NAS device through network access or SIS drives. I think they have an interface, but I am not sure how good it is. If we could address a box directly on the network without having to go through a server, it would be great. The replication schemas could be improved. We are not using replication on the storage level right now. We use a different type of replication. If their replication would be as good as the one that we have, I would probably run the replication schema because it might be faster, but I don't know that for a fact. So, I cannot say that they have good replication. All I can say is that they need to inform us better."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"You cannot tag a LUN with a description, and that should be improved. What I like on the Unity side is that when I expand LUNs or do things, there is an information field on the LUN. This is the Information field that you can tag on your LUNs to let yourself know, "Hey, I've added this much space on this date". Pure lacks that ability. So, you don't have a mechanism that's friendly for tracking your data expansions on the LUN and for adding any additional information. That's a downside for me."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"The stability can be improved."
"Its pricing could be better. It's expensive."
"I would like deduplication by default on all the volumes. I still don't understand (or know why) dedupe isn't enabled for the templates out-of-the-box. We have to go in and manually enable it each and every time."
"I would like to see more advanced analytics in the next release of this solution."
"We face challenges with hardware delivery."
"A feature that would be a nice addition to the next release would be a filer option. A filer option so that you could connect the sim or NFS or chips like NetApp does for NAS functionality."
"It was a bit expensive."
"I think the scalability of HPE Nimble Storage could be improved."
"I would like to be able to add more storage capacity to our 2 units down the road with out buying an additional seprate array."
"On the software side, I suggest adding integration with backups software like CommVault Simpana or Veeam where these products can integrate with the array and trigger things like snapshots for backup, etc."
"Technical support is an area where we had several issues, and it was hard to get some support in a specific case we had. I'm not very satisfied with them."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"What I feel would be nice, in terms of a wishlist, is scalability. Rather than replacing the whole appliance, I would like to be able to just add another unit and scale it like that."
