"We can capacity plan at a greater level than we used to."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the rewrite speed and the nonstop services."
"The ability to save resource is a key feature."
"I think the IPMI is a really good feature."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"I would like to see the licensing fees improved as well as the price per terabytes."
"It usually comes down to just what you hit and the value you're getting when you spend the money and license the products. I would always go, "If you want to make things better, lower your price and make your licensing simpler." There's always an opportunity around that."
"The technical support needs to improve. When we open a case, it is auto assigned to a support tech person. Nine out of ten times, we get an email right back saying that person is off until tomorrow. I cannot handle that. They just did this over the weekend to us, too. I had to call our rep and have them do something about it."
"It would be nice if you could store file-based in the same box with the same technology."
"Compared to, for example, Hitachi NAS, the solution is not mature at all. It's just in its infancy as far as technology goes."
"The feature that we're waiting on is better integration with the cell services."
"File storage needs a lot of improvement. Mainframe connectivity also needs improvement because it requires additional components to be integrated with Pure Storage FlashBlade. If you want to keep your backup data, then this becomes an even more expensive solution because Pure Storage FlashBlade will not be able to meet your backup needs."
"It would be beneficial if the layer could support the S3 protocol and be container ready in the next release."
"There is a lack of support for fiber channels currently that needs to be added."
"Supermicro blade servers are not the best. They could improve in scalability but are not really scalable right now."
"The solution does not scale well."
