We performed a comparison between Pure Storage FlashArray and Reduxio [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The Pure1 component is most valuable at this point in time when comparing it with EMC. Pure1 is where you can have your diagnostics in the cloud, so you can look at things from your mobile phone."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"The mobile app is very helpful."
"Pure is simple to set up and manage on a day-to-day basis."
"The speed of the Pure FlashArray is very, very fast and nothing in the market can compare to it."
"Because we were able to afford to go all flash, we don't manage the tiers, we're not moving data up, and we're not waiting for overnight cycles."
"It's easy to use, and the maintenance upgrades to get free controllers work really well."
"It comes with a large number of features out-of-the-box, which makes it easy for us to see problems and manage capacity."
"It is pretty much just plug and play. There is not that much to do with it. It is very easy to use."
"The management is simple in Pure Storage FlashArray."
"Reduxio delivers a self-contained system with all of the features rolled in and functional."
"Ease of user interface: prevents distractions and confusion when dealing with real-time catastrophes and high-pressure situations. Overall, it extremely easy to use. My team was trained within less than two hours."
"Efficiency of data management (Tier-X tiering, and NoDup inline dedupliclation and compression) provide for quick response time (+150k IOPS) during regular usage."
"I have an every second undo button for all my applications. I call Reduxio "the ransomware killer"."
"Write latency is averaging way under a millisecond."
"The down-to-the-second restore capability, native to the device is a valuable feature."
"In terms of ease of use, the GUI is quite amazing and seems to be taken from a computer game. Literally within 30 minutes, we had learned almost everything there is on the management UI and started managing the device."
"The unit has been running at 100% without an issue."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"You cannot tag a LUN with a description, and that should be improved. What I like on the Unity side is that when I expand LUNs or do things, there is an information field on the LUN. This is the Information field that you can tag on your LUNs to let yourself know, "Hey, I've added this much space on this date". Pure lacks that ability. So, you don't have a mechanism that's friendly for tracking your data expansions on the LUN and for adding any additional information. That's a downside for me."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"The software layer has to improve."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"We have run into a couple of instances recently where we are running out of space. So we have had to buy some more packs for it and they have deployed fine and it has increased smoothly."
"It is on the expensive side."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"The initial setup was a little complex. We had some initial issues with the design and had to help correct some of the white papers for it, but it wasn't your standard use case."
"I would like to see them lower the costs."
"In the next version of this program, I would like to see increased security, higher encryption, and faster throughput."
"It is way in excess of what we need. If anything, we could see a bit more speed. I'm just comparing it with what some of my colleagues who are implementing their own systems do."
"We would like to see more development on their Copy Automation Tool (CAT) for Oracle, as well as better integration for our customers running Oracle VM."
"We did have one hiccup with the integration of vCenter. When we were installing Pure Storage, we were using vCenter 6.7, which defaults to the HTML5 Web Client. The current plugin for Pure Storage doesn't show up in that client at all. You have to go and use the legacy FlexFlash client to see the Pure Storage plugin in vCenter."
"It took us a year to get it to stabilize and to get the best out of Pure."
"Beyond a certain amount of petabytes, you have to have a separate system. Basically, it's not infinitely scalable."
"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."
"The only thing that I'd like to see, at some point in time, is having the storage array being able to detect a ransomware attack. When you get hit by a ransomware it rewrites every block in your guest's virtual machine. So there should be a way for them to be able to detect that: "Hey, this is unusual, to see every block of this guest being rewritten all at one time," and then flag that as potential malware or ransomware."
"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."
"t would be helpful to have a mobile app to monitor the storage array remotely."
"The user interface for the web console could be more user-friendly, while it is flashy, how to find functions is not necessarily obvious."
"Would love to have role-based access and an active directory integration."
"Maybe it should come in stainless steel, just like its DeLorean time machine predecessor."
"Scalability is a little unusual. We came from the NetApp world where, if you needed more disk space, you just added more drives into the chassis, whereas with Reduxio, if you need more disk space, you have to buy a new chassis."
