Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"It's helped us because we've changed fundamentally what we talk about. We don't talk about storage and different tiers of storage anymore nor do we talk about servers. We talk now about applications and how applications impact the business and end users."
"The standout features for us in Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its robust DDoS protection, seamless transparent failover, and failback capabilities ensuring high availability."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"I find two features of Pure Storage most valuable. The first is the "safe mode" function, and the second is its simplicity."
"We have seen savings in our storage. The speed of deployment has gone from several days to a few minutes. This product has reduced that time into minutes, simplifying storage for us."
"It is pretty much just plug and play. There is not that much to do with it. It is very easy to use."
"The amount of data that I have moved to it from legacy storage has enabled us to retire units that are three or four times the physical size."
"Pure Storage FlashArray's overall speed is its most valuable feature."
"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."
"The performance of the storage is just unbelievable."
"This solution has improved our organization in the way that we used to see latency but now with this solution we don't. It also has good performance. Latencies have come down for our performance in the SQL databases. We can put a lot more in a lot less in terms of space savings. We also save data center space have good deduplication."
"Reduxio delivers a self-contained system with all of the features rolled in and functional."
"The unit has been running at 100% without an issue."
"We were also pleased to learn that Reduxio also has, beside dedup and compression that actually works, the "time machine" built in, which allows you to go back a few seconds or a few minutes before a ransomware attack gets you."
"The always-on deduplication and compression is also effective and allows us to achieve about 3x savings on space utilization."
"Takes advantage of deduplication and compression through as much of the content of VMs which are similar."
"One of the beautiful parts about it is the whole user interface. It's almost too simple. As an IT professional, you think, "Where are the works, how am I assured that this is actually protecting my data?" The ease of use in terms of deployment, and also the metrics that it feeds back to you are also among the many attractive features of the whole platform."
"The down-to-the-second restore capability, native to the device is a valuable feature."
"In terms of deployment and also data storage, the deduplication ability of it has reduced that footprint."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"Our use cases require more multi-tenant capabilities and additional VLAN interfaces for separating different customers. We currently use it to provide storage, sometimes shared storage, to different customers, but it is less flexible in comparison to a dedicated solution."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"We would like to see VNC integration or be able to use Pure Storage with VNC."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"Currently, the solution fails to support file screening."
"They should work on their upgrades, they're not smooth."
"I would like to see more cloud integration."
"The price of Pure Storage FlashArray could be better."
"CIFS and SMB Shares cannot be mounted directly."
"It took us a year to get it to stabilize and to get the best out of Pure."
"The one major gripe I have is that there is no snapshotting enabled by default on the SAN."
"There are a lot of things to improve."
"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."
"I would love an iPhone app to monitor my system from outside the firewall."
"It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN."
"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."
"It would be nice feature if the GUI had an option to export the current unit configuration to a file or an email recipient. In case of a disaster, this way it would be quicker to get a replacement unit up and running again."
"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."
"The latest release limits web access to the admin console via Chrome only, and that's a bit of a hassle. Would definitely prefer something less restrictive there."
"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."
