Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Pure Storage is extremely reliable — it's never failed."
"The most valuable feature is it never goes down. We can expand and create volumes."
"The management is simple in Pure Storage FlashArray."
"Performance is the most valuable feature."
"Cost, racial per terabyte, and speed is why we chose PureStorage. It was no brainer."
"Lone segmentation is simpler and more agile. It's improved the velocity in overall provisioning from project to operation."
"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."
"I never have to worry about its performance or if it is the root cause of an issue."
"Remote-copy provides high availability and disaster recovery for the connected clients."
"This is a very robust product and it offers everything that we are looking for."
"The tool is fast and easy to use. You can also configure it easily. The product also has good performance tuning."
"The solution offers good stability."
"Any action we want to do with a Dell EMC product needs a license. But with 3PAR's converged solution, at least there is no need to purchase more licenses to get the all the features that we need. We can get basic and mid-range features without licenses."
"The all-flash positions our organization for growth. If somebody comes to us who needs an application with performance, we have that already formulated."
"Valuable features include the intuitiveness of the SAN itself, a lot of the built-in logic and functionality, the tiering that it uses to determine what type of disk is best for the various types of workloads, and the automation that is built in. It's also easy to manage."
"All-flash has been the most innovative way of using storage based on the 3PAR platform."
"Built-in snapshot support gives us SAN-side functionality most other platforms would have had us license separately."
"Ease of use: My installers - my administrators over the system - they love how easy and fast it is to install and spin up a LUN and get going."
"It provides a full feature set without separate licensing (deduplication, compression, snapshot, asynchronous replication, stable performance, etc.)."
"The ratio between the physical storage and the storage we use is very high."
"Implementation of the solution is very simple."
"The capacity that we're saving by using Kaminario's K2 is giving us a four-to-one ratio for our deduplication."
"Data reduction and snapshot abilities: Smaller footprint in the datacenter (lower cost for power, cooling, etc.)."
"The most valuable aspect is the use of solid-state storage drives instead of spinning drives."
"Its price could be cheaper. It is not the cheapest one out there, but I'm not directly involved in the figures and negotiations."
"They could improve the price."
"The connectivity needs improvement. You do not have the possibility to have a file and block connectivity at the same time on the same machine. It has limited ability to do so."
"We do have an issue with the vCenter integration. Pure Storage says it has a lot of free space, but vCenter says its completely full. This is because their dedupes are saved as space, but Vcenter still detects the disk as completely full. So, we do have an issue with that."
"I would like to see them lower the costs."
"It took us a year to get it to stabilize and to get the best out of Pure."
"The file functionality could be better."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve the recent file storage capabilities because it is lacking a lot of features."
"They should add AI-enabled dashboards to the solution."
"This solution is becoming dated."
"If HPE 3PAR could handle NAS and all things related to NAS, you would not need to have a mixture of different storages, storage boxes, one solution could fit all."
"We have had some challenges in the Arabic implementation and in migration, but for daily work, it's fine."
"Our support in the US has been phenomenal, no issues at all. But the European support was poor initially."
"There are some weird things that we can't figure out."
"I'd really it to be able to interact with older 3PAR storage, and possibly even non-HPE. I would like to be able to pull stuff off of old things and bring it up to the standard that has been set, simply, quickly, and efficiently. That would be a really nice feature. Right now it is a big pain. It seems to work but we tend to get some latency behind."
"The engagement of the tool's vendor is costly."
"I would like to see LDAP for the management panel; I've been notified they might be currently working on it."
"The interface look and feel could be improved."
"The management graphical interface needs more improvement."
"A single pane of glass to monitor/manage multiple arrays would be helpful."
"The front panel of the drive shelf doesn't always seat firmly."
"I think it should have better performance with small files. With big data, its performance is top notch, but it is difficult to load small files."
"Access to technical support should be improved for our region. Technical support is good, but they're very hard to access."
"I would like to see them work with Cisco, so it comes off the FIs, instead of having to go through my 10-gig network."
