We performed a comparison between HPE Nimble Storage and INFINIDAT InfiniBox 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 duplication algorithm allows us to get a lot more use out of less storage. We're running a five terabyte array right now and we're running probably about 30 terabytes on it. So the duplication rate is pretty phenomenal, without a cost to performance. It still runs pretty smoothly."
"The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"It is very easy to install and configure. It has got excellent diagnostics. If you really need to see how the box is performing, the console gives you a lot of information. You can set thresholds as well as alerts based on the thresholds, which is a very powerful functionality. They are very proactive. They know how to monitor and manage the systems. They see a problem, and they are all over it before us. They see the problem before we see it, which is very good."
"The most valuable features of Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its superior performance compared to other flash tiers, as well as its ease of use, with an intuitive user interface that is simple to deploy and use."
"The setup was very, very simple. When we got our AF5000, no kidding, we had it up in production within two hours"
"Any updates are just part of your subscription, so you don't have to buy add-ons for new features. You're continually adding value to it."
"HPE Nimble Storage is very stable and performs well."
"It's given us more time to do the important things, less time worrying about SANs and failures and picking up the pieces. It just works."
"It is easy to use. Not too complicated."
"The storage capacity efficiency is phenomenal. It is off the charts in comparison to the compression ratios that we got before. We are able to save a lot more to the device."
"I really like the form factor, which is nice and compact and small."
"Nimble's support is awesome and one of the best. You sort of get a Tier 3 plus guy every time that you call, no matter if it is a Tier 0 issue. This is super helpful in case we ever have problems."
"This product has good performance."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"If the customer only needs 500 terabytes and doesn't care how much data they'll put in the server, IBM is cheaper than Pure."
"The software layer has to improve."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"Every time I think of something that needs to improve, they're one step ahead, which I love. The only area I wish to see improve, I believe is coming, is in the FlashBlade product. Blade implementation fell short on a few of the services."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"We would like to see VNC integration or be able to use Pure Storage with VNC."
"I would like to have integration into cloud providers, apart from HPE."
"Scalability, in terms of being able to scale out, is not easy and should be improved."
"The stability can be improved."
"There is no active-active controller, which means that we can only have one controller online at a time."
"The solution could reduce its price."
"The solution’s stability could be better. The tool’s pricing is high and depends on the partner."
"If they could reduce the cost, that would be ideal."
"I want it to be an active-active array. Nimble would be great as an active-active array because then everything checks out. It would give a feeling of comfort."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
