Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"It is very easy to install and configure. It has got excellent diagnostics. If you really need to see how the box is performing, the console gives you a lot of information. You can set thresholds as well as alerts based on the thresholds, which is a very powerful functionality. They are very proactive. They know how to monitor and manage the systems. They see a problem, and they are all over it before us. They see the problem before we see it, which is very good."
"One, it's easy to use and understand. You don't have to be an engineer or an expert to use this storage solution. That's the bad part of Dell PowerMAX. You have to go through very expensive education for one or two weeks and pay ten thousand dollars just to be able to use the product. With Pure Storage, you have a half-day workshop, and you know everything you need to know."
"It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"The standout features for us in Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its robust DDoS protection, seamless transparent failover, and failback capabilities ensuring high availability."
"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."
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"I like the speed, and I like the API and how programmable it is."
"Cost, racial per terabyte, and speed is why we chose PureStorage. It was no brainer."
"The most valuable feature is it never goes down. We can expand and create volumes."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is the all-flash storage performance, low latency, and efficiency of their de-duplication technology. Additionally, the ease of use is good compared to other storage systems. The features in data protection, snapshotting, and replication between data centers and sites are superior to other solutions."
"Its array houses our entire production environment."
"The solution offers amazing performance."
"It is pretty much just plug and play. There is not that much to do with it. It is very easy to use."
"It is noticeably easier to manage than other appliances that we have."
"The support has been so responsive and great, they feel like one of our staff members."
"The down-to-the-second restore capability, native to the device is a valuable feature."
"The BackDating feature which allows us to go back to any point in the past at one second granularity, is an amazing feature and allows us to recover from any mishap to our data – whether it's a malware attack, an application error or a human error. We have never seen this capability in any other storage product."
"We are able to recover to the second, if needed, our data. This greatly improves restore capability, for example, if there is a cryptolocker outbreak or data loss."
"The biggest feature, and one of the reasons we use it with the file shares, is its continuous Snapshotting. We can go back to almost to any point in time, not only to last night at midnight or a week ago, but 10 minutes ago or three-hours-and-so-many-seconds, or whatever the case may be. We already had a brush with ransomware in the past, so it's good to know we can dial back to just before a mishap happens."
"The ability to target existing remote storage with NoRestore is going to allow us to leverage existing storage without an increased financial investment."
"It needs integration with cloud vendors for remote storage, and to be able to restore a single machine from a specific volume."
"The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"Right now, the box itself is just strictly working as a backend storage system. It would be fantastic if we could access it directly like a NAS device through network access or SIS drives. I think they have an interface, but I am not sure how good it is. If we could address a box directly on the network without having to go through a server, it would be great. The replication schemas could be improved. We are not using replication on the storage level right now. We use a different type of replication. If their replication would be as good as the one that we have, I would probably run the replication schema because it might be faster, but I don't know that for a fact. So, I cannot say that they have good replication. All I can say is that they need to inform us better."
"Pure Storage support could be a little better."
"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."
"I would like to see data tiering to AWS."
"The internal garbage collection process has been fixed recently in some OS updates so it is more efficient but that could be just a little better."
"Storage. There could be better storage."
"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"It took us a year to get it to stabilize and to get the best out of Pure."
"The product should improve its response time. I have also encountered issues with its configuration."
"We had a single failure of the device but believe that it was tied to the server losing contact with our NTP server due to DNS issues. As Reduxio is very time-dependent, losing sync made the entire array unstable."
"If Reduxio could manage multiple Reduxio systems within the same dashboard, or manage them as a single mode, it be very, very helpful for us."
"Would love to have role-based access and an active directory integration."
"Needs to be made easier to use with slightly older versions of VMware."
"It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN."
"Integration is needed with other virtual vendors like VMware, Veeam, Hyper-V; that integration needs to be deeper, not just the way that they're using it now. I know that it's under development, but I think this is one of the disadvantages, for now, as a young company. They have to work with the other players on the market."
"They're trying to do this, but they need to show more what their growth plan is, the development, what the next steps are, the future."
"The only thing that I would point out would be the basic administration management of the machine. Everything has rights, meaning that there's either all control or no delegated control. So to sum that up, it would be a feature request for delegated management in the administrative console."
