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."Pure is simple to set up and manage on a day-to-day basis."
"The deduplication in the array combined with its snap technologies allows the product to be remotely/manually controlled or scheduled."
"It helps simplify storage. When you're running Pure all-flash, you don't have to do a lot of the old Oracle best practices. You don't have to worry about putting log files on a different disk channel than the data files, and those types of issues... That has made it vastly easier to do large volumes, rapid provisioning in databases, without taking a performance hit."
"It has improved my organization because now have lower latency, we get fewer complaints from customers, and we see a constant response time."
"What I like most about this solution, is the speed, resiliency and scalability."
"Data deduplication is one feature I found to be the most valuable in the tool...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"This is the best all-flash storage array on the market."
"It's actually very stable"
"Enables multiple hosts access to the virtual machines by providing for moving VMs due to maintenance or host failure."
"Immediate data recovery: critical to business continuity in an age of unknown cyber threats."
"The machine installed without difficulty."
"Write latency is averaging way under a millisecond."
"We love the fact that we do not have to worry about ransomware and can rollback to any point in time."
"The always-on deduplication and compression is also effective and allows us to achieve about 3x savings on space utilization."
"In terms of deployment and also data storage, the deduplication ability of it has reduced that footprint."
"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."
"Feature-wise, it is a good solution allowing users to monitor and simplify their networks. The solution also provides its users with flexibility by enabling them to utilize its extensions."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its scalability."
"SolidFire is one of the products that does have great APIs right out-of-the-box. It works great. The tools and the other stuff seem to work a little better right out-of-the-box than the ONTAP stuff does, C-Mode."
"We can just buy them, scale them as we need on demand, and we don't have to spend so many front end cycles on designing the architecture."
"SolidFire provides seamless performance across your storage system when you need to scale up. Other storage systems do not do that."
"The square footage for doing development is at a premium when dealing with government networks. To be able to put a lot of IOPS in a lot of high-speed performing drives in a very small location which requires very little HVAC with very little power, it is very valuable to us."
"The simplicity of it."
"The dashboard is such that you don't need to be a storage expert to administer it."
"The price of this solution could be improved."
"We would like to be able to connect to data tape for backup, specifically to the LTO backups."
"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."
"It needs to improve its price."
"Data reduction is an area that needs improvement. There is a garbage collection service that runs but during that time, system utilization increases."
"Going forward, don't complicate things for the customers."
"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"I am waiting on a feature set in the new version which should allow me to replicate between Reduxio iSCSI SANs for disaster recovery and also to 3rd party iSCSI SANs which are cheaper for an archive or DR target."
"The only critique that we have is it needs the ability to have local users added. You have to log in as one built-in admin account. You can't create your own."
"The ability to look at data at a file level would be useful, as well as the ability recover at that level. Right now, you can only recover whole volumes."
"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."
"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 user interface for the web console could be more user-friendly, while it is flashy, how to find functions is not necessarily obvious."
"I would love to see deeper integration with VMware vSphere/vCenter. Right now, I can edit existing Reduxio datastore sizes in the vSphere web client. Provisioning new datastores that way would be nice."
"The scalability of HCI or SolidFire as such isn't a concern, but when you compare it to PowerMax or NetApp AFF series devices, scalability is a concern because it's only the drives that are connected to the nodes. We don't have any shelf connectivity."
"It's a very good Windows-type solution. But we do a lot of legacy systems and the like. So it's getting that incorporated into it that would help us."
"One of the challenges we faced while using SolidFire was that the product line that we were using in our company was discontinued."
"It would be good to provide administrative access at the root level to be able to do things with the system, if need be."
"There is room for improvement with a focus on creating a centralized storage system, functioning similar to AWS."
"A little better segregation of the multi-tenancy. Right now, it's just VLAN-specific, that's all you can do."
"The tool should improve its initial cost which is expensive compared to other products."
"We are looking for, potentially, on the Active IQ reporting side, to do reporting based on the datastore. Right now, I can report on the whole SolidFire, or I can report on just a certain datastore or a volume. I'd like to take all of my VDI infrastructure, which as an example would be multiple datastores."
