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."Processes that used to take 40 minutes to two hours can be completed in five minutes."
"The performance is very good."
"It is pretty much just plug and play. There is not that much to do with it. It is very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is its speed."
"Very efficient storage"
"We've been using FlashArray's snapshot for backups. Their replication across sites and response time are also excellent."
"It has made working with storage as easy and simple as it should be."
"It's just very easy for general block storage."
"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."
"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."
"Improves the response of the VMs by having the most used portions on the flashcache."
"Reduxio provides a means of backing up the data that you store in it down to one second granularity."
"We like the way the Reduxio is designed, the way the managing/operating end is just so much easier; fewer steps, more intuitive steps. It has a number of features baked into it that, in other products, are additional licensed components, like compression and dedupe."
"The always-on deduplication and compression is also effective and allows us to achieve about 3x savings on space utilization."
"Efficiency of data management (Tier-X tiering, and NoDup inline dedupliclation and compression) provide for quick response time (+150k IOPS) during regular usage."
"Write latency is averaging way under a millisecond."
"The system efficiency is excellent overall."
"It's a very compact device. For a medium-sized business, it's very helpful because the device is efficient and very fast."
"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."
"SolidFire provides seamless performance across your storage system when you need to scale up. Other storage systems do not do that."
"The simplicity of it."
"SolidFire has seamless performance for the nodes and extensions. I also like the tool’s scalability. The product’s performance does not get affected when we scale either up or down. This is not the case with other products."
"Individual settings you can put on each individual volume, if you want to do that."
"Overall performance of the solution."
"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"I would like to see support for NVMe, end-to-end."
"Areas for improvement would be the financial operations. In the next release, I would like to see a NAS protocol included."
"Having something native in the Pure Storage ecosystem would make it integrated and in one single company, and we wouldn't have to work with multiple organizations."
"It needs to improve its price."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see automated copy data management for SQL Server."
"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."
"The number of Filesystems is limited, which it is not on the EMC VNX."
"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."
"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."
"The user interface for the web console could be more user-friendly, while it is flashy, how to find functions is not necessarily obvious."
"t would be helpful to have a mobile app to monitor the storage array remotely."
"I would love an iPhone app to monitor my system from outside the firewall."
"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."
"It would be nice feature if the GUI had an option to export the current unit configuration to a file or an email recipient. In case of a disaster, this way it would be quicker to get a replacement unit up and running again."
"The only thing that I'd like to see, at some point in time, is having the storage array being able to detect a ransomware attack. When you get hit by a ransomware it rewrites every block in your guest's virtual machine. So there should be a way for them to be able to detect that: "Hey, this is unusual, to see every block of this guest being rewritten all at one time," and then flag that as potential malware or ransomware."
"I think there is room for improvement needed with its storage capability. A bigger node is needed."
"I would like to see integration with the cloud, number one. Being able to spin SolidFire in the cloud."
"The inclusion of more protocols and interfaces would make it easier to integrate with other products."
"SolidFire could improve in terms of hardware robustness."
"The tool should improve its initial cost which is expensive compared to other products."
"They could make the mNode more user-friendly. Now you need to configure and add nodes by CLI and it’s not really easy to manage. If they created a web interface to do the management of the mNode, that would be great!."
"They could do a file-based NAS: SolidFire NAS-based. It's probably not its niche, but that is our direction, not to use block, and it's block. Solid state block is what it is."
"The user interface needs to be improved. Much of the client feedback involves comments such as "Oh, it's hard to navigate through.""
