We performed a comparison between IBM FlashSystem and INFINIDAT InfiniBox based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Nasuni and others in NAS."Speed (IOPS/second) – It is most vital for applications that need low latency and high speed for transferring the data."
"The most valuable features in IBM FlashSystem are IOPS, performance, duplication, and compression."
"When it comes to the interface of the solution we did not encounter any challenges. Additionally, the solution has good documentation."
"The valuable features are high availability, compression, and a failover mechanism. It's a very highly available storage solution."
"The performance is very good and we use this product to enhance our core system."
"IBM FlashSystem is flexible, quick, and has a solid design."
"The solution is scalable and has varying degrees of scalability."
"It's very easy to manage."
"This product has good performance."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"GUI interface should be enhanced more as there is some issues in copy services."
"The price is very costly."
"If you want to expand, you cannot expand the disc enclosure. You have to buy a total individual node. Sometimes, this is difficult because we are just looking for capacity and not a node."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The interface could improve in IBM FlashSystem."
"The support could improve by allowing you to speak to someone when you call rather than them calling you back. However, once we do have contact with one of their technicians they are excellent."
"Product support is restricted to IBM only. It must be decentralized to IBM partners as well."
"IBM could do more marketing and improve brand awareness. I had never heard of this product until a colleague told me about it. FlashSystem could add a few features, but it would probably increase the price. For example, Pure Storage offers instant snapshotting and partitioning. That would be nice to have, but I think the cost would go up."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
