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."It gives us capacity planning."
"The predictive performance analytics is a very good feature, as our system is performing better than before."
"It reduces space and the polar consumption. It also accelerates the application."
"The ease of use. That's what our customers love. They say it's very easy, they don't need special training, they don't need to call us or any other company or integrator to help them do their job. That's the main reason they purchase Pure."
"It comes with a large number of features out-of-the-box, which makes it easy for us to see problems and manage capacity."
"The speed of the Pure FlashArray is very, very fast and nothing in the market can compare to it."
"It has made working with storage as easy and simple as it should be."
"The most valuable features in Pure Storage FlashArray are deduplication and active cluster."
"Flexibility and frequency of restore points: allow me to economically customize the range of time for data restoration, according to the varying sensitivities of each type of data."
"The unit has been running at 100% without an issue."
"Instant recovery through its continuous data protection."
"The TimeOS support and I/O performance. For instance, recovery of data from any point in time, and the speed of the unit, are incredible compared to other devices we reviewed."
"It has improved our backup and recovery window, because you can have two Reduxio machines linked up, so every block that changes on the primary storage array gets replicated to the secondary storage array. If one side or the other goes bad, you just recover from the other side."
"Enables multiple hosts access to the virtual machines by providing for moving VMs due to maintenance or host failure."
"Improves the response of the VMs by having the most used portions on the flashcache."
"We love the fact that we do not have to worry about ransomware and can rollback to any point in time."
"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."
"Greater IOPS, speed, it's all-flash. So seeing that everything is going to all-flash, all SSDs, SolidFire fits right in there with the emerging trend in IT."
"The most valuable feature is the performance, as well as how you manage performance on the system."
"The system efficiency is excellent overall."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"I would say in terms of architecture and in terms of functionality, the product is quite good."
"I would like to see the NAS add-on component become more fault-tolerant than just a single virtual machine running inside the array. I'm unwilling to use it for that reason."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"The GUI could improve, it could be more intuitive. There is hidden functionality."
"What it needs to do is work a little closer with solutions, like VMware, so it understands the particular workloads that are on it. Today, it does not understand the applications which are running against it."
"I would like to see more cloud integration."
"Data reduction is an area that needs improvement. There is a garbage collection service that runs but during that time, system utilization increases."
"They could improve the price."
"The user interface for the web console could be more user-friendly, while it is flashy, how to find functions is not necessarily obvious."
"the only thing I would say negative about Reduxio is the cabling was a little bit confusing at first, but now that we understand it, it's easy. It was just so different from what we've seen before. That was the only hard part to get used to. The storage array is fully redundant, so there are some cross-connect cables that you have to run, from the A side to the B side, and the B side back to the A side, and we've just never seen anything like that before. But now that I understand the design, it makes complete sense. But initially it was confusing."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"I would love an iPhone app to monitor my system from outside the firewall."
"t would be helpful to have a mobile app to monitor the storage array remotely."
"The inclusion of more protocols and interfaces would make it easier to integrate with other products."
"SolidFire could improve in terms of hardware robustness."
"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."
"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."
"It would be good to provide administrative access at the root level to be able to do things with the system, if need be."
"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."
"So feature-wise, I would say more reporting tools that could be merged into it."
"I would like to see integration with the cloud, number one. Being able to spin SolidFire in the cloud."
