Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Enterprise SAN."This product has good performance."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"The most valuable feature is test performance. It helps us store large amounts of data along with providing us faster retrieval of data."
"The stability of Pure Storage is very very good."
"The amount of data that I have moved to it from legacy storage has enabled us to retire units that are three or four times the physical size."
"I find two features of Pure Storage most valuable. The first is the "safe mode" function, and the second is its simplicity."
"The data reduction technology part of the scalability has been impressive, like its ability to host additional workloads, volumes of data, and databases."
"This solution has helped my organization by cutting down on provisioning time. I used to have to provision a VM and it would take ten minutes. Now, it takes thirty seconds."
"We like the speed. It's very low latency. In virtualization, you can mask lots of problems, and even in code you can mask lots of problems, with low latency. It's just pure speed and low latency."
"It is always out of the box, and ready to use."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
"Part of our company works on Dell EMC because Pure Storage did not have synchronous applications when we were purchasing our products."
"Some services could be inserted directly into the SAN, so Pure Storage could complete with the HyperFlex."
"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."
"As long as they always improve on IOPS speed, that's all we're really looking for. The faster the storage can be the more we can do speed of application and speed of use."
"If they could make it cheaper, that would be something."
"It is way in excess of what we need. If anything, we could see a bit more speed. I'm just comparing it with what some of my colleagues who are implementing their own systems do."
"A minor issue that comes to mind is that, every once in a while, a hard drive will go bad."
"We haven't seen ROI yet."
