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."The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are management and administration user-friendliness, provisioning, and performance."
"It allows engineers to focus on other things rather than doing the more manual tasks. It automates tasks, so the ease of use is extreme. It simplifies the storage."
"Performance is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is the complete set of functions it provides."
"The most valuable feature is its upgradeability."
"It simplifies building out the storage."
"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."
"The console is simple to use. It has good performance. It is easy to install, understand, and manage, with a good ratio of deduplication and compression. It is doing its job."
"The solution is quite stable and scalable."
"I benefit from the HPE Call Home feature. It tells me about any issue once I have it."
"We went to an Active-Active data center, set it up to where both data centers are separate, but they act as one. We can have workloads at either side at any given time, and it is all based on the Peer Persistence architecture."
"You can have SSD drives, fast disk drives, and slower drives, redundancy between drives, and hot-swappable drives on the SSDs, the faster hard drives, and the slower drives."
"It's reliable and it's fast."
"It has been very stable. We've had very minor issues, but I've loved how HPE is proactive on letting us know. Usually, they let us know before we notice it ourselves and they already have a solution for us. It has been great that way."
"HPE can login, fix things, alert us to things, and upgrade. We are there and aware, but we do not do the work. So, that is good."
"The product has definitely improved throughput. We are able to more efficiently see patients because all of our medical records and practice management software seems to run faster. Uploading images and charts is a lot faster. Recalling information in the exam rooms is faster. The overall throughput of data, going back and forth, is so we can more efficiently see patients, and it also helps increase our patient flow. We can see patients a lot faster, getting them in and out a lot more quickly."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"It is a set and forget environment with a very good tooling to view performance and delivers the IOPS we need for our VDI environment."
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"Performance, cost, and ease of storage management."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"It's not so scalable. It's got moderate scaling capabilities right now. The clustering technology needs a bit of work, they need to improve that."
"Pure Storage support could be a little better."
"From a scalability perspective, it is a very small storage solution, so it's not very expandable."
"The GUI could improve, it could be more intuitive. There is hidden functionality."
"Historical analytics would be useful. At the moment, they don't have any type of application built for historical analytics."
"We would like to be able to connect to data tape for backup, specifically to the LTO backups."
"The credentials on the iSCSI interface are only available to type in with the Chrome browser, and not with the Firefox browser."
"Having something native in the Pure Storage ecosystem would make it integrated and in one single company, and we wouldn't have to work with multiple organizations."
"Our support in the US has been phenomenal, no issues at all. But the European support was poor initially."
"There is a slight difference between what we expected and what was delivered."
"Its price is a bit high for adding another tree."
"The solution’s customer support could be improved."
"The configuration and flexibility should improve."
"I would like to see the reliability improve. While it has been a good product, the QA of the product could be done a little more thoroughly."
"We do not use Memory-Driven Flash in the old 3PAR. Perhaps we will use it in the new 3PAR. That is part of the reason why we are upgrading."
"I would like to see more cloud-based integrations and more file storage capabilities."
"More cloud integration."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"Speed of our VDI machines. We have a very high log in and log out ratio and machines are being refreshed instantly so we have a constant boot storm on our storage."
"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."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"I would like to be able to add more storage capacity to our 2 units down the road with out buying an additional seprate array."
