"They have really good baked in analytics to show you trends for growth history, so it does help with future planning for data growth."
"The speed is the most valuable feature, along with the ease of getting it connected. We were able to get it online in less than a day."
"For us, the most valuable feature is the compression and deduplication. Being able to deploy a three to one ratio for storage is absolutely critical in today's world with the growing need for storage and the growing need for more space."
"The initial setup was really straight forward."
"Non-disruptive upgrades: You can upgrade at anytime without worry."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most comfortable pricing, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The security operating system is its most valuable feature because it's very simple, easy to use, and operate. You don't have to do very serious training to operate this equipment. It's user-friendly and pretty straightforward."
"Performance and deduplication. This is a very robust block storage option that offers both performance and data optimization."
"The feature I like most about Dell Xtremio is its hardware quality compared to other vendors. It's clear they're continuously improving their research and development."
"It has very good performance for an application which needs lower latency and a better response, for example, in microseconds."
"Speed and reliability:"
"We mostly use it for backup, because we cannot measure anything, and we are afraid to use it for surveillance systems. We were planning to use it for mostly for surveillance systems."
"XtremIO is very stable."
"Very good IOPS performance"
"Thin storage allocation"
"The solution’s deduplication functionality works great. We are getting about a 16:1 dedupe ratio on our VM workloads."
"The solution is easy to use and very stable."
"It has a really powerful tool to measure data, how it is working, the performance, and if we have any bottlenecks."
"The tech support is great. If we have a problem, we literally will have boots on the ground with senior sales people, as well as the people to fix the problem, to help make sure we are taken care of."
"It is worry-free. I do not have to sit there and tend it."
"The most valuable feature of HPE 3PAR StoreServ is its online upgrades."
"Thanks to HPE remote IT assistance, they can do the updates with the configuration in best-case scenario."
"The solution is stable."
"It is not possible to create a cluster on top of multiple arrays."
"The product should improve its response time. I have also encountered issues with its configuration."
"I would like some performance analytics which go deeper than today. It should be specific to some hosts and applications. This would be good."
"They should work on their upgrades, they're not smooth."
"It would be good to have metrics of the box's performance so we can see what it delivers, but currently, I can't see what it's actually doing."
"It would be nice if Pure had something in its portfolio that provided higher deduplication and compression for backups."
"We would like to be able to connect to data tape for backup, specifically to the LTO backups."
"I would like to have support available in Spanish."
"It is very expensive to scale. You have to buy an additional system to extend from one disc, for instance. It is scalable, but extremely expensive to do so."
"The management should be improved and the GUI interface could be better and easier."
"Ease of use is key in the converged and hyper-converged world that requires administrators to have both hypervisor and storage skills."
"This solution is geared toward enterprise-level companies. Small and medium-sized businesses would find it extremely expensive."
"If you are looking at flash storage solutions, XtremIO doesn't offer any unique features. Most of my customers are migrating their workload from XtremIO to other formats because of this."
"One thing that should be improved is the reporting and monitoring tools. It should use real time monitoring for storage, IOPS, latency, etc."
"XtremIO is coming to its end of life."
"They can improve the product by providing an HTML5-based interface instead of the Java GUI based application."
"The solution could improve by being able to handle larger data."
"I would like to see an automatic re-balancing system or functionality for adaptive optimization."
"I would like to have support for On-The-fly reallocation Data when using VVoL."
"We would like to see the ability to not only be integrated with hybrid IT, but on-prem."
"We have had some bad issues on stability."
"I would like to have single click upgrades because the process is cumbersome right now."
"The management interface is not intuitive."
"We would also like to see improvements to the ease of administration of 3PAR."
