Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Pure Storage technology allowed us to automate tasks, reducing something which started as a 12-hour turnaround down to about 15 minutes."
"The code upgrades are very smooth."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. You simply plug it in and turn it on."
"Redundancy and the fault tolerance of the platform are the most impressive."
"The top-tier support and reliable storage are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Technical support has been amazing."
"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."
"Pure Storage FlashArray's overall speed is its most valuable feature."
"The product offers good performance and is quite powerful."
"Performance-wise it's high speed. It's also more stable and scalable."
"The setup is straightforward."
"In terms of stability, it's good enough. It's okay."
"It is just as stable as any other high-end solution."
"Customers are most impressed with SC's provisioning because you don't need to buy a large amount of storage upfront. It's pay-as-you-grow. It also has solid compression and duplication features."
"The setup and installation is much simpler now, because Dell has standardized the configure process."
"One time, we had a drive fail and we were notified before we even saw it on the device."
"The support has been so responsive and great, they feel like one of our staff members."
"The machine installed without difficulty."
"We can offer a lot more storage to our end users."
"The pre-processing dedupe engine they have instead of post-processing."
"We are getting 4.4:1 data reduction, which means we will be able to squeeze over 120TB into 2U. This is more than enough capacity for us."
"We love the fact that we do not have to worry about ransomware and can rollback to any point in time."
"In terms of ease of use, the GUI is quite amazing and seems to be taken from a computer game. Literally within 30 minutes, we had learned almost everything there is on the management UI and started managing the device."
"Enables multiple hosts access to the virtual machines by providing for moving VMs due to maintenance or host failure."
"The data reduction that we had initially anticipated when we bought Pure and we move over, is way lower than the expected reduction. It depends on the workloads, of course. But that has been a challenge at times."
"It was a little costly. The price was ultimately higher than both of the other solutions that we evaluated. I'd say that's the only downside."
"They are doing some stuff with containers and an object search. These could be improved, because containers is one of the main topics that we are talking with our customers about."
"In the next version of this program, I would like to see increased security, higher encryption, and faster throughput."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"It's not so scalable. It's got moderate scaling capabilities right now. The clustering technology needs a bit of work, they need to improve that."
"I would like the ability to swap out the network adapters into it. So, without taking out the whole controller, I would like to be able to swap adapters. This would make things easier."
"I would love for them to have a hyper-converged solution."
"The cost of the solution could be better."
"From a performance point of view, it's getting a bit old."
"I don't think the solution is very scalable."
"The lower model, the 3000, should have duplication. It doesn't right now. It's only from 5000 that this is offered, but it depends on the performance. It could be they don't offer it on lower models because the duplication is too much of a burden to the performance."
"In some customer cases, customers experienced more performance or latency."
"This product should be a lot more user-friendly."
"It would be helpful if the solution offered higher performance, at least on the back end."
"The administration and support (on the way that they delivered) was a little bit slow."
"The latest release limits web access to the admin console via Chrome only, and that's a bit of a hassle. Would definitely prefer something less restrictive there."
"The user interface for the web console could be more user-friendly, while it is flashy, how to find functions is not necessarily obvious."
"The only thing that I'd like to see, at some point in time, is having the storage array being able to detect a ransomware attack. When you get hit by a ransomware it rewrites every block in your guest's virtual machine. So there should be a way for them to be able to detect that: "Hey, this is unusual, to see every block of this guest being rewritten all at one time," and then flag that as potential malware or ransomware."
"t would be helpful to have a mobile app to monitor the storage array remotely."
"The only thing that I would point out would be the basic administration management of the machine. Everything has rights, meaning that there's either all control or no delegated control. So to sum that up, it would be a feature request for delegated management in the administrative console."
"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."
"the only thing I would say negative about Reduxio is the cabling was a little bit confusing at first, but now that we understand it, it's easy. It was just so different from what we've seen before. That was the only hard part to get used to. The storage array is fully redundant, so there are some cross-connect cables that you have to run, from the A side to the B side, and the B side back to the A side, and we've just never seen anything like that before. But now that I understand the design, it makes complete sense. But initially it was confusing."
"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."
