We performed a comparison between Reduxio [EOL] and SolidFire 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."Most of the problems that we had in the past with the performance in IOPS have disappeared. It has been a great improvement for our customers' services."
"It's actually very stable"
"We are very happy with the data deduplication and compression ratio that we have on the platform."
"With Pure Storage, we don't see any latency or IOPS. It has been a very seamless integration."
"The most valuable feature is it never goes down. We can expand and create volumes."
"The compression and deduplication features help to make the best use of the capacity."
"It's simple, powerful, and ready to use."
"We put a fair amount of stress on it because we run sequel workloads and we run web applications where the same web files are hit over and over. We have had almost zero stability issues with that SAN, that has been really great for us."
"The always-on deduplication and compression is also effective and allows us to achieve about 3x savings on space utilization."
"Write latency is averaging way under a millisecond."
"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."
"The down-to-the-second restore capability, native to the device is a valuable feature."
"It has a very intuitive interface, it integrates more smoothly with our steps. With a different product from a different manufacturer, there are a lot more steps required to set up a volume, to make it available in VMware and to utilize it there."
"The unit has been running at 100% without an issue."
"The HTML5 UI is clean, easy to navigate, and very intuitive."
"Takes advantage of deduplication and compression through as much of the content of VMs which are similar."
"The simplicity of it."
"If you buy the solution for its specific purpose it will work well."
"It's a very compact device. For a medium-sized business, it's very helpful because the device is efficient and very fast."
"It is very easy to scale up SolidFire."
"I would say in terms of architecture and in terms of functionality, the product is quite good."
"The most valuable feature is the performance, as well as how you manage performance on the system."
"Being able to provide quality of service as promised."
"The scalability and being able to implement it quickly."
"The solution is not cheap."
"It needs to improve its price."
"It is not possible to create a cluster on top of multiple arrays."
"The price should be lower."
"We need to add more storage in Pure Storage FlashArray with the cluster mode activated for us to have better performance."
"On a couple of occasions, the waiting time for an upgrade has been pretty substantial."
"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"Currently, the solution fails to support file screening."
"Needs some hooks into cloud storage for backup. Also they should update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource."
"Needs to be made easier to use with slightly older versions of VMware."
"Would love to have role-based access and an active directory integration."
"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."
"Scalability. Reduxio has only one product, they don’t have an option, for now, to expand the storage product."
"The user interface for the web console could be more user-friendly, while it is flashy, how to find functions is not necessarily obvious."
"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."
"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."
"One of the challenges we faced while using SolidFire was that the product line that we were using in our company was discontinued."
"For example, the ease of use with the reporting. Right now it's not impossible, but you have to know Sequel. It's a little time consuming to get those customized reports in there."
"Though it is a stable solution, its users may face some security issues at times...The security provided by the solution is one area that can be improved."
"The technical support is really bad and has to be improved."
"So feature-wise, I would say more reporting tools that could be merged into it."
"We had some false positives, power supplies failing, and that's really been about it. We had a couple of glitches during some upgrade processes but nothing that was really concerning to us."
"The inclusion of more protocols and interfaces would make it easier to integrate with other products."
"I would like to see integration with the cloud, number one. Being able to spin SolidFire in the cloud."
