Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Its array houses our entire production environment."
"We've had to use tech support on a number of occasions. They did everything remotely and talked us all the way through. They fixed the issue within 30 minutes. Every single time we contact them, they're perfect. I would give their technical support a ten out of ten."
"The first set up we had was really straight forward and simple."
"Has also helped simplify storage for us. The other person we put in there, took about a week to implement. And we had both arrays set up within around four hours with a thirty minute drive time between the two locations."
"It's easy to use, and the maintenance upgrades to get free controllers work really well."
"It has good stability for our company."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is the all-flash storage performance, low latency, and efficiency of their de-duplication technology. Additionally, the ease of use is good compared to other storage systems. The features in data protection, snapshotting, and replication between data centers and sites are superior to other solutions."
"My rating of Pure Storage is a ten out of ten because of the price for performance and footprint - the overall value."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We use ESRS for our call-home, and a lot of times, Dell EMC will respond to the issue before we even know it."
"The most valuable feature is its global cache, which allows for uncompromised performance."
"The number one most valuable feature is reliability. I want to go home at the end of the day and come in the next day knowing it works, especially since we have storage offshore."
"I have been highly satisfied with the resiliency and scalability of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the performance and compression. The most useful tool is CloudIQ."
"It has reduced our footprint in different physical locations."
"We're consolidating two to three arrays down to one which means that our data center footprint has decreased by like 90%. So we're saving 90% of our space, and it also is much better on power and everything else in our data center. And on top of that, the performance is much, much better than our older arrays."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"The GUI could improve, it could be more intuitive. There is hidden functionality."
"I can't see where they can make anything better, unless, of course, they lower their prices even more."
"It would be nice if Pure had something in its portfolio that provided higher deduplication and compression for backups."
"The initial setup was a little complex. We had some initial issues with the design and had to help correct some of the white papers for it, but it wasn't your standard use case."
"In the next release of the solution I would like to see Vormetric native block encryption."
"It was not proactive communication."
"Having something native in the Pure Storage ecosystem would make it integrated and in one single company, and we wouldn't have to work with multiple organizations."
"Pure Storage support could be a little better."
"The initial setup was complex, as it is a complex system and you have to learn a lot."
"They can make the GUI better, especially for the ones that come out of the box. We did encounter a bit of difficulty in setting up the storage. We had to deploy Solutions Enabler on a Linux machine to be able to fully interact with the storage. They need to upgrade the web interface for the management of the storage that comes out of the box. The management interface for NFS is also a bit old and not very intuitive."
"Support of the product can be slow and an administrative challenge: planning, scheduling, and overseeing data center access for a Dell EMC rep. One improvement could be to enable a self-maintenance option. The requirements that we go through to get Dell EMC onsite to replace failed drives, power supplies, and other small redundant parts can be unnecessarily complex. If simplified, they could send us the parts, then we could replace them much faster, more easily, and truly within the SLA parameters."
"The REST API needs improvement. We are a very big automation company, and this would be big for us."
"The tool is costly compared to other similar products. The product's pricing needs to be improved. I would like the product to include the replication feature in its future releases."
"I would also like to see a real-time, graphical view of metrics. I don't know how far back in time we can look, but if we could see the performance from two months or three months back, and how it is performing now, that would be helpful."
"If the solution had more power-saving capabilities, it would be quite nice."
"I would like them to continue improving the management tools and continue moving towards a RESTful API versus CLI."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
