We performed a comparison between HPE Alletra and IBM FlashSystem 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."What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"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 latency is good."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"It offers rich features and high speed for transferring data."
"The tool's notable feature is that we don't need to log a case directly with the vendor. The tool has access to all the logs on-premises. This is an on-premises solution. Additionally, we can provision data as thick or thin provisioned. Moreover, it includes data grid duplication and compression features."
"The most valuable features of IBM FlashSystem are performance and security."
"Most of the features for the reduction in data compression are useful. It is also very easy to use and administer. Its performance is also good."
"The most crucial feature of IBM FlashSystem is compression."
"The most valuable feature is that is supports a high IOPS rate."
"The all-flash storage has tier replication capabilities."
"The compression and deduplication features are the most valuable."
"The solution allows for easy migrations from previous products or vendors via its embedded storage virtualization function."
"It is simple to make an update."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"The software layer has to improve."
"We would like to see VNC integration or be able to use Pure Storage with VNC."
"We need better data deduplication."
"We had some issues while installing it on our servers. It required more resources while cross-checking. So, the initial setup process could be better."
"It would be better if there were an option to incorporate the NVMe feature alongside other storage tiers. Currently, the system operates on Autotier but can manually peer and mix different types of drives, such as SAS and SATA drives."
"The interface of this solution could be improved."
"Our customers have raised concerns about the limitations of the FlashSystem 5200 and 7300, which only offer a 32-gigabyte connection."
"Additional licenses might be added for the fundamental licenses, such as those for copying and flash copies."
"The storage capacity of this solution could be improved."
"IBM should improve its data reduction development."
"When you provision a datastore auto-format takes a long time"
"The GUI for monitoring performance metrics could provide better visibility. For example, it doesn't let me segregate the IOPS per volume."
"Sometimes the performance is effective but it gets resolved in the process."
