Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The high availability of the product is the most valuable feature."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"It is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is an all-flash system, which means the data access speed is amazing while the latency is almost nothing, and it can deliver IOPS up to 16,000."
"It is a stable and scalable solution with quick and efficient storage capability."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of deployment."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to provide the IOPS ratio which is required by a lot of our customers."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not overly complex."
"For over a year, I have not seen any downtime in the product."
"The product is stable."
"We are very happy with the data deduplication and compression ratio that we have on the platform."
"The first set up we had was really straight forward and simple."
"The solution is very reliable."
"It gives us capacity planning."
"The stability and performance are the best things about the solution."
"The solution has probably reduced my power use substantially."
"It helps to simplify storage because it has an easy front-end to access everything."
"Because of the encryption, we have different storage and the encryption can go over both."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"Our use cases require more multi-tenant capabilities and additional VLAN interfaces for separating different customers. We currently use it to provide storage, sometimes shared storage, to different customers, but it is less flexible in comparison to a dedicated solution."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"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."
"We have not had a good experience with support from HPE Primera. They can improve."
"Price is always important in Turkey, so HPE could lower the price to keep it competitive. It's not as competitive as other solutions in this market."
"Only HPE can manage the product."
"The file server embedded in Pure, the GUI, and the tracking and reporting features are better with Pure Storage."
"The solution could prove the reporting."
"The pricing is very high."
"The price of the product is an area of concern. From an improvement perspective, the solution should be made more affordable in terms of price."
"There are certain features that require engineering-level access, which should be accessible to storage admins as well."
"There are a lot of things to improve."
"I can't see where they can make anything better, unless, of course, they lower their prices even more."
"Storage. There could be better storage."
"In the next version of this program, I would like to see increased security, higher encryption, and faster throughput."
"Self-backup is the only feature lacking in this solution."
"It is a bit expensive."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"The 3PAR SSD arrays that we have are still failing a lot so even though we're under warranty, we still have to get someone out and usually have someone troubleshoot so that usually adds onto the cost. With Pure, we've had a disc fail and we pop it out and you pop it in and it's good to go."
