"The speed, performance, and stability are the best features of IBM FlashSystem."
"It's very easy to manage."
"We've found the solution to be very stable so far."
"At the FlashSystem level, customers are especially fond of multi-tier and distributed rate systems, particularly the dynamic rate six arrays."
"The solution allows for easy migrations from previous products or vendors via its embedded storage virtualization function."
"The most valuable feature in demand is virtualization and its support storage of virtualization features."
"No queuing and high ops, speed, and performance."
"The performance is better than with our previous version."
"A big area for improvement is that the data reduction pool feature is not recommended for use in a production environment because it has stability and performance issues."
"The initial setup is complex."
"When you provision a datastore auto-format takes a long time"
"The solution is quite expensive. That's one of the downsides to using it."
"They don't offer subscription-based payments."
"The pricing could be improved, but I think it's getting better and better with each version. IBM needs to implement NAS storage again, as this is a big flaw. Dell EMC is very good at this and if you compared them based on NAS storage, Dell EMC would win right away. IBM's solution for NAS storage is very complicated. We don't have a storage box that provides file sharing from itself, we have to put software on it and go through a whole complicated process. It should be simplified."
"The interface could improve in IBM FlashSystem."
"In IBM FlashSystem, data reduction is an area with shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future."
"We are not satisfied with the cost of licensing and would like to have a better price to performance ratio."
