We performed a comparison between Dell XtremIO 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 high availability of the product is the most valuable feature."
"It's incredibly easy to use and greatly simplified our ability to both deploy and manage our storage subsystems."
"The standout features for us in Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its robust DDoS protection, seamless transparent failover, and failback capabilities ensuring high availability."
"FlashArray has some fresh efficiency features. I've never seen a storage solution with a compression rating this high before. It's at least 4-to-1 on Oracle databases. It's the best flash storage for Oracle."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"The solution is scalable."
"We're able to get higher-density workloads on the same infrastructure, and we have a smaller physical footprint. The performance is excellent – during our test the bottlenecks are never on the X array, it just keeps picking up the pace to match what you need. The real-time visibility is a differentiator in my opinion."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"Xtrem10's features are more simple to implement. The integration and interface are also good."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its high performance."
"Linear performance – The XtremIO wasn’t the fastest in all tests against other all flash arrays, but even with a massive workload, the response time and user experience were absolutely predictable with no sharp drop-offs."
"It is great for applications like Microsoft Exchange, ERP, SQL and VDI; basically saved the VDI buy-in from users, as now performance was seamless in comparison to a physical PC."
"Ease of management, aside from the serious performance, is the best feature."
"Very good IOPS performance"
"The Metro clustering and solid-state performance, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Thin storage allocation"
"This product has good performance."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"We need better data deduplication."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"We would like to see VNC integration or be able to use Pure Storage with VNC."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"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."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"The software layer has to improve."
"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."
"In the next release, the solution could have better integration and if we can host assets on the cloud, such as NetApp has the NetApp volumes, which we can host on the cloud directly called NetApp CVO (cloud volume ONTAP). Dell EMC should come up with something purely on the cloud rather than manage services."
"I would like hardware capacity additions to be a little more flexible. The upgrade path for the existing XTremIO units requires you to purchase 2 XBricks at a time and they need to be the same capacity as the existing XBricks."
"Right now, external appliances are needed to replicate XtremIO to XtremIO, or to another EMC system."
"Sometimes we don't get an immediate response from the support team. The initial POC also took a lot of resources."
"I would like to see the ease of deployment and built-in Metro clustering."
"I am not too impressed with XtremeIO because we had a major failure."
"This solution is geared toward enterprise-level companies. Small and medium-sized businesses would find it extremely expensive."
"It needs a way to determine the deduplication of each LUN and what the impact would be if we were to move data from one LUN to another."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
