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."FlashArray has some fresh efficiency features. I've never seen a storage solution with a compression rating this high before. It's at least 4-to-1 on Oracle databases. It's the best flash storage for Oracle."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"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."
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"Its array houses our entire production environment."
"It has made working with storage as easy and simple as it should be."
"Pure Storage FlashArray has significantly improved our data center performance. It handles high workloads efficiently, providing better performance in the environment. With increased storage capacity, it has led to improved overall system performance. The tool's technology is a standout feature. It has helped me reduce storage costs by 15 percent."
"It is the SAN backbone for our company."
"It is always out of the box, and ready to use."
"It gives us capacity planning."
"The code upgrades are very smooth."
"The scalability options are very nice because you can scale it much better and faster. The scalability was there in the previous environment also, but this is far better than what we had before. It basically helps the user in case they are looking for more storage. We can scale it much faster."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"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."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"It is on the expensive side."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"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."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"Self-backup is the only feature lacking in this solution."
"From a scalability perspective, it is a very small storage solution, so it's not very expandable."
"We would like to integrate it more with our backup solutions."
"The internal garbage collection process has been fixed recently in some OS updates so it is more efficient but that could be just a little better."
"Going forward, don't complicate things for the customers."
"I would rate this solution an eight because we have had outages. The commit times went very high in the database. The whole array went down so our customers were down for around eight hours. This was a very big outage which could have been our fault because we didn't do the upgrade in time."
"Most of our upgrades have not been as smooth as they should have been."
"The data reduction that we had initially anticipated when we bought Pure and we move over, is way lower than the expected reduction. It depends on the workloads, of course. But that has been a challenge at times."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"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."
"Their support staff just doesn't have the experience with all of the products that we're running. They don't know the 850 series like we do because it's five years old. There is a little bit of a gap, and that may just be because we're an old customer running on platforms that their staff hasn't seen. I would like to see an improvement in their in-depth knowledge of their older products."
"More cloud integration."
"The biggest area for improvement, and there has been some roadmap work in this area already, is cloud integration... Tintri has been investing in this area and I'm sure will continue to, but cloud integration has been the biggest area that we've been crossing our fingers and hoping for quick development around."
"I would like it to have the ability to store data other than virtual machines. At the moment, you can only connect VMs to it, and that’s a bit disappointing."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
