Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Cost, racial per terabyte, and speed is why we chose PureStorage. It was no brainer."
"The availability and ease of use are the big features."
"The most valuable features are extremely low latency, high IOPS with VMware, inline deduplication and compression."
"We were actually able to do multiple upgrades, including head upgrades and moving between the platforms, M20 and M50, over the years. We have never once lost a ping and have never had an outage due to an OS upgrade or a complete head upgrade."
"Support has been helpful."
"Performance, dedupe, and that it works well with database workloads are its most valuable features."
"My rating of Pure Storage is a ten out of ten because of the price for performance and footprint - the overall value."
"It reduces space and the polar consumption. It also accelerates the application."
"From my perspective, it's really easy for me to be able to get in and do any troubleshooting with it and it's very consistent."
"It is reliable, and it seems like a solid product. It has been working well so far."
"The solution has improved our throughput by helping us keep up with the demand and acquisitions that we have been going through."
"We deployed 3PAR in the national and international markets. It's not bad, the solution."
"The ease of management is its most valuable feature. It is so much easier to manage storage on a 3PAR array than anything that we have had before."
"We can do more, faster, whether it's spinning up more virtual machines or handling large amounts of data."
"It works well and we don't have any issues with this solution."
"It is easy to add drives. When you add drives into it, it automatically recognizes them and spins them up."
"The solution is very stable...The solution is very scalable."
"It’s quite scalable."
"We can add multiple appliances to the product."
"The product enables me to recover the information of the appliances in the organization."
"I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple."
"If you use the NetBackup Appliance you do not need to have separate media servers and hardware. You can configure the same storage as a media server and master server as well as a storage port. This helps to reduce the hardware costs of the media server."
"It is easy to use and the performance is good."
"The initial setup gets easier the more you do it."
"The data reduction that we had initially anticipated when we bought Pure and we move over, is way lower than the expected reduction. It depends on the workloads, of course. But that has been a challenge at times."
"There are many features which need to be added, particularly on the replication side."
"The number of Filesystems is limited, which it is not on the EMC VNX."
"The support for NFS protocols right out-of-the-box need improvement. I'm used to other storage vendors who have NFS support right out-of-the-box, and Pure Storage doesn't seem to have anything."
"In terms of the future, I have been excited by some of the copy data management stuff that they're talking about building into the environment. There are feature sets where I've done a lot of automation work. So, I am always looking forward to extensions of their API. They're also talking about a phone home centralized analytics database being used as a centralized management console with a list of new cloud features, but this doesn't seem finalized."
"I can't see where they can make anything better, unless, of course, they lower their prices even more."
"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."
"They could improve the price."
"I would like to have more details on alerting. It is not real granular right now. What It gives you is sort of basic, and we can't do a lot of tweaking on our own. We would like to be able to tweak some of the alerts for our team."
"From an overall perspective, all the latest technologies can improve support and performance. This is very important for us."
"The interface to manage it could be improved. I was looking at OneView. Something basic like that should be available with the 3PAR. OneView has all the bells and whistles, all the features, but I think something basic and similar to that should be come with the 3PAR, at least for monitoring managing it."
"I would like to see more storage, a better interface, and to move from mechanical disks."
"The product is quite expensive."
"Security is a mandatory feature because our customer needs to protect delicate information."
"if it were easier for us to manage the product ourselves without having to get HPE to connect, because it sometimes it does take a bit to get the scheduling worked out with the HPE support. If it were simpler, then it might be easier for us to handle it ourselves."
"There were a few goofy things with support where we were trying to do OS upgrades and HPE MyRoom failed. However, they would not get on WebEx because they are only allowed to get on HPE MyRoom."
"The price needs to be improved because it is really expensive."
"The scalability isn't great. Every time you want to add storage, you can't just add a little bit, you need to add a lot."
"I would like the ability to recover a single folder within the backup of a virtual machine."
"It's an expensive solution."
"Depending on the setup structure, it can be complex to implement."
"Technical support for this solution needs to be improved."
"NetBackup Appliance's pricing is reasonable, but it could be lower."
"The product should provide more AI and ML features."
