Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."My rating of Pure Storage is a ten out of ten because of the price for performance and footprint - the overall value."
"For us, the most valuable feature is the compression and deduplication. Being able to deploy a three to one ratio for storage is absolutely critical in today's world with the growing need for storage and the growing need for more space."
"The solution is easy to scale. I'm running two environments right now, so I need to scale. I'm running a part technology. I've got an A-side and a B-side."
"The initial setup was straightforward in the way that it was a database vacuum storage."
"We have tons of capacity on it."
"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."
"The solution offers amazing performance."
"It upgrades in place which means we'll be using it well into the future."
"The guaranteed sub-millisecond response time for a 4K block."
"The feature I like most about Dell Xtremio is its hardware quality compared to other vendors. It's clear they're continuously improving their research and development."
"Snapshots are valuable because of their seamless nature, as well as the minimal space each snapshot takes."
"Initially, we faced numerous issues with our analytical systems. However, we saw performance improvement after the implementation of the solution."
"The Metro clustering and solid-state performance, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"XtremIO’s capability to run any workload without much in the way of design considerations makes this very easy to use and size."
"It was very easy and straightforward to setup."
"The most valuable feature of Dell EMC XtremIO is the data protection (DP) group, it is one of the most advanced features in these types of arrays. The dedupe and compression that this array provides both do a superb job."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see automated copy data management for SQL Server."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"There are a lot of things to improve."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"I think replication is one area that still needs improvement. Earlier, Pure Storage FlashArray only had IP-based replication. There was no API-based replication, but they have enhanced the feature now. However, they need to work on API replication for C-type of arrays."
"When we were doing some tests, we found that there was an I/O freeze when they were switching the controller."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve some aspects. There are certain features that are good and there are some features that I see some issues with at the technical level. Those issues are related to replication. They need to resolve those issues, which I have already highlighted to the Pure team. Additionally, there are some issues in the active cluster that could improve."
"We need to add more storage in Pure Storage FlashArray with the cluster mode activated for us to have better performance."
"Sometimes we don't get an immediate response from the support team. The initial POC also took a lot of resources."
"Management: At the time, there was no snapshot scheduler, so I had to write XSnapCourier to address it. The sad thing is that even after the newest release, which includes a native scheduler, most customers using XSnapCourier chose to stick with it due to a more feature-rich experience."
"One thing that should be improved is the reporting and monitoring tools. It should use real time monitoring for storage, IOPS, latency, etc."
"The management should be improved and the GUI interface could be better and easier."
"The physical architecture could use some higher levels of redundancy."
"XtremIO is coming to its end of life."
"They can improve the product by providing an HTML5-based interface instead of the Java GUI based application."
"This solution is geared toward enterprise-level companies. Small and medium-sized businesses would find it extremely expensive."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
