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 simplifies the overall management. We don't have to worry about storage anymore."
"FlashArray has many valuable features. It's very user-friendly and it has high availability, so there is comparatively less downtime. During maintenance, there is no shutdown procedure, so you can directly power off the Array and manage the shutdown process without any data loss, which is a unique feature. Managing replication and data migration is also very easy."
"It reduces space and the polar consumption. It also accelerates the application."
"Pure gives us better compression, it's easier to manage, a lot less hands-on."
"It gives us capacity planning."
"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."
"Performance, deduplication, compression, and fast response time for requests from servers and applications."
"The initial setup was very straightforward and very quick. It was up and running in our data center within 24 hours of receiving it."
"The Reduxio unit is superior in its ability to recover from any second."
"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."
"I have an every second undo button for all my applications. I call Reduxio "the ransomware killer"."
"The always-on deduplication and compression is also effective and allows us to achieve about 3x savings on space utilization."
"Improves the response of the VMs by having the most used portions on the flashcache."
"The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that."
"The down-to-the-second restore capability, native to the device is a valuable feature."
"The HTML5 UI is clean, easy to navigate, and very intuitive."
"The simplicity of it."
"The quality of service for minimum iOS, to maximum iOS in a multi-terminal environment is very powerful. The SQL service feature is the best part of SolidFire."
"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."
"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."
"The system efficiency is excellent overall."
"It is very easy to scale up SolidFire."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its scalability."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve by being more secure."
"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."
"I would like some performance analytics which go deeper than today. It should be specific to some hosts and applications. This would be good."
"It's not so scalable. It's got moderate scaling capabilities right now. The clustering technology needs a bit of work, they need to improve that."
"I would like the ability to swap out the network adapters into it. So, without taking out the whole controller, I would like to be able to swap adapters. This would make things easier."
"It was not proactive communication."
"From a scalability perspective, it is a very small storage solution, so it's not very expandable."
"The data reduction that we had initially anticipated when we bought Pure and we move over, is way lower than the expected reduction. It depends on the workloads, of course. But that has been a challenge at times."
"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."
"I would love an iPhone app to monitor my system from outside the firewall."
"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."
"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."
"Scalability. Reduxio has only one product, they don’t have an option, for now, to expand the storage product."
"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."
"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."
"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 technical support is really bad and has to be improved."
"There is room for improvement with a focus on creating a centralized storage system, functioning similar to AWS."
"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."
"SolidFire should start from two nodes instead of the four nodes. That's the only thing. In a lot of solutions, we have to use four nodes, that's the better thing. But as a starting point, two is better. That's why their starting point is expensive."
"A little better segregation of the multi-tenancy. Right now, it's just VLAN-specific, that's all you can do."
"When you set up the nodes, we have to serial into each one of these nodes to configure the IP ranges. It's still very easy, but it's time consuming."
"SolidFire could improve in terms of hardware robustness."
"It would be good to provide administrative access at the root level to be able to do things with the system, if need be."
