We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator.""The solution is scalable.""The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes.""Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution.""The standout features for us in Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its robust DDoS protection, seamless transparent failover, and failback capabilities ensuring high availability.""The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance.""It has good, reliable, fast 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."

Cons
"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.""In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified.""I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center.""Right now, the box itself is just strictly working as a backend storage system. It would be fantastic if we could access it directly like a NAS device through network access or SIS drives. I think they have an interface, but I am not sure how good it is. If we could address a box directly on the network without having to go through a server, it would be great. The replication schemas could be improved. We are not using replication on the storage level right now. We use a different type of replication. If their replication would be as good as the one that we have, I would probably run the replication schema because it might be faster, but I don't know that for a fact. So, I cannot say that they have good replication. All I can say is that they need to inform us better.""Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient.""We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI.""The UI for this solution needs to be improved.""The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."

"The security and reporting could be improved."

More Fungible Storage Cluster Cons →

"The support can take a few days to have a response. However, the response that we do receive is very informative.""The initial setup should be easier, and more like a plug-and-play approach.""The technical support has room for improvement.""The initial setup is complex.""Stability is an area with a certain shortcoming where the solution needs to improve""The cost of the solution is quite high. It would be ideal if they could adjust it so that it's a but less.""Sometimes, it takes a while to get somebody competent on the other end of the line. They do have engineers in multiple time zones around the world. However, their level-one support is not always the best.""The product’s UI could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "With Pure Storage, we would like to continue seeing price reductions with flash storage. I don't think we're any different than anybody else when we continue to look to the industry for price reductions of both NVMe and traditional SSD storage. We would like to see these prices continue to decline and erode, even displacing large spinning disks."
  • "We pay approximately $50,000 USD per year in licensing fees."
  • "With VMware, we pay $300,000 annually."
  • "Our licensing fees are $500,000+ USD."
  • "As far as the licensing costs, everything is included in the license."
  • "They can tout the functionality and cutting edge technology that they have, but that's where the price tag comes in. The cost is high, but I think as they grow their business and get more customers that it will probably go down a little bit."
  • "Its price could be better. It is not too expensive, but it is the high-end cost. It is kind of a Rolls-Royce. You pay a lot, but you get a lot out of it. So, the price pressure on the way down would be great, but at the end of the day, if you need to do the work, you just pay for it."
  • "The licensing is on a yearly basis."
