We performed a comparison between Dell PowerMax NVMe and Fungible Storage Cluster based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Hitachi Vantara and others in NVMe All-Flash Storage Arrays."The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"The solution is scalable."
"The latency is good."
"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."
"We're able to get higher-density workloads on the same infrastructure, and we have a smaller physical footprint. The performance is excellent – during our test the bottlenecks are never on the X array, it just keeps picking up the pace to match what you need. The real-time visibility is a differentiator in my opinion."
"We are most interested in cloud utilization."
"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerMax NVMe is its replication feature."
"It is very stable. We expect superior performance and reliability from this particular storage system."
"PowerMax is a compact high-performance appliance. It is one of the best devices in terms of performance specs. It includes an NVMe All-Flash Array."
"CloudIQ has become an optimal tool for us to get the full picture of all the different arrays, from mid-tier all the way up. It gives us that single view and the ability to launch the Unisphere. That is really is powerful in being able to manage the array."
"Dell PowerMax NVMe has good scalability and performance."
"We removed the need to observe whether we ran into issues with the performance of disks or number of IOPS. Previously, our Oracle Database would throw us performance errors. Now, with PowerMax, everything runs smoothly."
"Uptime by far is the most important thing, and also the replication ability (SRDF). Most of the customers who need this type of availability also want the protection of multiple data centers, and it is able to easily switchover workloads to their other data centers."
"The most valuable features are that it is easy to implement and configure, easy to use, and really reliable."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"It is on the expensive side."
"Every time I think of something that needs to improve, they're one step ahead, which I love. The only area I wish to see improve, I believe is coming, is in the FlashBlade product. Blade implementation fell short on a few of the services."
"We need better data deduplication."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"We would like to see VNC integration or be able to use Pure Storage with VNC."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"When it comes to Oracle and database workloads, data reduction could be a little bit better. Some of the competition, like Pure, have post-processes which do additional deduplication and compression on the backside; everything is in-line and then they do a secondary process. It would be a good option if you could start getting 5:1 or 6:1 data reduction on database workloads."
"I would like NVMe to be end-to-end in the next release. Right now, it is not end-to-end."
"The price could be lower, and we are unhappy with the price."
"I would like to see continued visibility and analytics in the platform."
"We've had a couple of little things come up, but for the most part, they've been pretty stable."
"I'd like to see the dedup and compression improve. Two to one is not very good. We should be getting something like three, four, or five to one."
"There are definitely some improvements that can be made to the CloudIQ."
"I would like to see more development in the cloud environment. It would be good if it comes in the cloud kind of setup."
"The security and reporting could be improved."
