Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."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."
"They are quite responsive and our local team was pretty good."
"The support team is available all the time and they seem to know what they are doing."
"I have seen a huge increase in speed and performance on our databases."
"It's very fast and very easy to use. It performs well and is both flexible and compatible. We like it because it's easy to use."
"Their REST API is wonderful, well-documented, and easy to use."
"The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are the management view of the solutions, ease of provision, and deprovision, it is fantastic."
"The solution is very reliable."
"Dell XtremIO is good for databases and huge workloads."
"Ease of management, aside from the serious performance, is the best feature."
"XtremIO is very stable."
"Performance and deduplication. This is a very robust block storage option that offers both performance and data optimization."
"The performance is good, which is important."
"Deduplication and cloning capability"
"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."
"The solution's most valuable features are the inline data reduction and deduplication."
"This product has good performance."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"Pure Storage support could be a little better."
"CIFS and SMB Shares cannot be mounted directly."
"In the configuration, which we brought in or tested it in, it has a very limited config as far as the array goes. That said, it still did more than our anticipation."
"We've had it in place for about a year and a half and have had zero complaints, other than that box-to-box replication is not encrypted."
"FlashArray's capacity for forecasting should be improved because it needs to be a bit more current. I think it's bundled with the deduplication and other compression factors. We need more user interfaces for forecasting in this software and more interfaces need to be integrated with this array management tool."
"This product has only two active controllers, whereas other solutions can have more. This is something that needs to improve."
"It was not proactive communication."
"I would rate this solution an eight. To make it a ten it would have to be a little cheaper."
"They can improve the product by providing an HTML5-based interface instead of the Java GUI based application."
"XtremIO needs to be lower priced. It also needs better endpoints and scalability."
"One thing that should be improved is the reporting and monitoring tools. It should use real time monitoring for storage, IOPS, latency, etc."
"Right now, external appliances are needed to replicate XtremIO to XtremIO, or to another EMC system."
"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."
"Dell's technical support could be better."
"The product could be improved by reducing the pricing and having better organization in their technical support team."
"Management: At the time, there was no snapshot scheduler, so I had to write XSnapCourier to address it. The sad thing is that even after the newest release, which includes a native scheduler, most customers using XSnapCourier chose to stick with it due to a more feature-rich experience."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
