Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The duplication algorithm allows us to get a lot more use out of less storage. We're running a five terabyte array right now and we're running probably about 30 terabytes on it. So the duplication rate is pretty phenomenal, without a cost to performance. It still runs pretty smoothly."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"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 solution is scalable."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"The Pure1 component is most valuable at this point in time when comparing it with EMC. Pure1 is where you can have your diagnostics in the cloud, so you can look at things from your mobile phone."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"It's actually shaking hands with the workflow solutions much better than any other storage."
"We also use VMware integrations developed by Pure, their plugins in our vCenter environment. They help by allowing our non-technical operations teams to deploy new data stores and resize data stores without me having to involve myself all the time to do those simple tasks."
"Processes that used to take 40 minutes to two hours can be completed in five minutes."
"We like the speed. It's very low latency. In virtualization, you can mask lots of problems, and even in code you can mask lots of problems, with low latency. It's just pure speed and low latency."
"It worked flawlessly."
"My rating of Pure Storage is a ten out of ten because of the price for performance and footprint - the overall value."
"The GUI is very easy to use and intuitive."
"Having fast storage allows actual servers to perform in high capacity so we don't have slowdowns on our applications."
"I like its speed. It has all the features that I need."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"We would like to see VNC integration or be able to use Pure Storage with VNC."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"We have run into a couple of instances recently where we are running out of space. So we have had to buy some more packs for it and they have deployed fine and it has increased smoothly."
"It has to be flexible according to the customer's requirements. It has to be aligned with the customer business and the business environment."
"Currently, the solution fails to support file screening."
"Had some issues with Purity not being entirely compatible with VMware ESXi."
"The product should improve its response time. I have also encountered issues with its configuration."
"The initial setup of the product is complex."
"I would like to migrate to the cloud in the future and know how that would actually work with this product."
"We would like to see more development on their Copy Automation Tool (CAT) for Oracle, as well as better integration for our customers running Oracle VM."
"Its price could be cheaper. It is not the cheapest one out there, but I'm not directly involved in the figures and negotiations."
"The only time that we had problems with it was that there was a bug in the VVol implementation but, outside of that, it has been flawless."
