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."The product cheaper compared to other solutions concerning the technology that they are using."
"The stability is very good. I've done destructive testing on it and never had any type of storage outages from it."
"The most valuable feature is test performance. It helps us store large amounts of data along with providing us faster retrieval of data."
"I never have to worry about its performance or if it is the root cause of an issue."
"This solution has improved our organization. In the past, we had reports that were taking up to two hours and after switching to SSD storage the overall processing power dropped to half an hour. The end users saw an immediate performance gain."
"It's easy to use, and the maintenance upgrades to get free controllers work really well."
"For us, the most valuable feature is the compression and deduplication. Being able to deploy a three to one ratio for storage is absolutely critical in today's world with the growing need for storage and the growing need for more space."
"The most valuable features in Pure Storage FlashArray are deduplication and active cluster."
"Enables multiple hosts access to the virtual machines by providing for moving VMs due to maintenance or host failure."
"Ease of use, time to market and scalability are all advantages. We can install new software and new applications in no time. That means we don't need buy a new shelf or new disks, just create a virtual machine and the system does everything behind the scenes."
"The down-to-the-second restore capability, native to the device is a valuable feature."
"Reduxio offers a very simple, elegant user interface (design) to manage it."
"Immediate data recovery: critical to business continuity in an age of unknown cyber threats."
"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 love the fact that we do not have to worry about ransomware and can rollback to any point in time."
"Reduxio requires zero upfront setup for backups. I get backups every single second for as long as I want with zero impact to performance."
"The simplicity of it."
"It's got full API functionality and the performance is pretty steady."
"If we get complaints about any kind of performance metric issues, whether it's storage related or something on the virtual side, we use it to pinpoint what the actual issue is."
"I would say in terms of architecture and in terms of functionality, the product is quite good."
"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."
"If you buy the solution for its specific purpose it will work well."
"The provisioning process is efficient and doesn't demand higher latency, ensuring optimal data transfer performance which is particularly valuable for tasks like data mining, where quick results are essential."
"The most valuable feature is the performance, as well as how you manage performance on the system."
"I would like some performance analytics which go deeper than today. It should be specific to some hosts and applications. This would be good."
"They are doing some stuff with containers and an object search. These could be improved, because containers is one of the main topics that we are talking with our customers about."
"In the next version of this program, I would like to see increased security, higher encryption, and faster throughput."
"The scalability of the solution is not as good as it probably could be."
"I would like to see more detailed reporting on the data. However, it would be nice to know what are the exact VMs usage after deduplication and/or what that VMs actual latency and bandwidth is, outside of VMware."
"We would like to be able to connect to data tape for backup, specifically to the LTO backups."
"I feel like there is too much automation; the user doesn't have any manual input."
"We've had it in place for about a year and a half and have had zero complaints, other than that box-to-box replication is not encrypted."
"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."
"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."
"It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN."
"I would love an iPhone app to monitor my system from outside the firewall."
"Needs some hooks into cloud storage for backup. Also they should update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource."
"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 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."
"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."
"A little better segregation of the multi-tenancy. Right now, it's just VLAN-specific, that's all you can do."
"This solution would be improved if it were made to be more compatible with other products."
"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."
"You don't have business continuity with SolidFire. I think it could be a nice feature to have in the future."
"So feature-wise, I would say more reporting tools that could be merged into it."
"SolidFire could improve in terms of hardware robustness."
"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."
"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."
