"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are simplicity, ease of use, and dashboard management."
"My rating of Pure Storage is a ten out of ten because of the price for performance and footprint - the overall value."
"It is noticeably easier to manage than other appliances that we have."
"It has been very stable. I have not seen or heard of downtime storage issues after moving over to it."
"The product cheaper compared to other solutions concerning the technology that they are using."
"It reduces space and the polar consumption. It also accelerates the application."
"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."
"With Pure Storage, we don't see any latency or IOPS. It has been a very seamless integration."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"I like Tintri's Global Admin feature and the solution's performance. It's incredibly fast storage, which was a significant upgrade for us when we deployed it seven years ago. The Tintri snapshots are brilliant and incredibly reliable."
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"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."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"The software layer has to improve."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"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."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"The time-to-market could be better at times, but I think that's true for all vendors of hardware."
"We did have one hiccup with the integration of vCenter. When we were installing Pure Storage, we were using vCenter 6.7, which defaults to the HTML5 Web Client. The current plugin for Pure Storage doesn't show up in that client at all. You have to go and use the legacy FlexFlash client to see the Pure Storage plugin in vCenter."
"When we were doing some tests, we found that there was an I/O freeze when they were switching the controller."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"FlashArray's capacity for forecasting should be improved because it needs to be a bit more current. I think it's bundled with the deduplication and other compression factors. We need more user interfaces for forecasting in this software and more interfaces need to be integrated with this array management tool."
"I would like to see more cloud integration."
"With scalability, I have run into a little problem with our last upgrade. There were some undocumented limitations to the number of drives that our controller could run on. So, instead of putting in a new data pack as we had anticipated, we had to keep adding and removing to get up to the capacity that we needed to be. What should have been a one day process (or a few hours) turned into a month and a half process."
"I would rate this solution an eight because we have had outages. The commit times went very high in the database. The whole array went down so our customers were down for around eight hours. This was a very big outage which could have been our fault because we didn't do the upgrade in time."
"Their support staff just doesn't have the experience with all of the products that we're running. They don't know the 850 series like we do because it's five years old. There is a little bit of a gap, and that may just be because we're an old customer running on platforms that their staff hasn't seen. I would like to see an improvement in their in-depth knowledge of their older products."
"What I feel would be nice, in terms of a wishlist, is scalability. Rather than replacing the whole appliance, I would like to be able to just add another unit and scale it like that."
"I would like it to have the ability to store data other than virtual machines. At the moment, you can only connect VMs to it, and that’s a bit disappointing."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"More cloud integration."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"The Tintri OS and GlobalCenter software do a great job of showing you troubled VMs, however it still could be a bit more helpful in diagnosing the issues."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
