Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The tool is simple and easy to use. It has neat features like protection from device removal. Moreover, you can undo the deletes. The solution is easy to work with and not as complicated as CAC"
"It's just very easy for general block storage."
"The deduplication and compression rates are beyond impressive."
"It reduces space and the polar consumption. It also accelerates the application."
"The stability is perfect. The reliability is 100% and the latency is always lower than 1 millisecond."
"I find two features of Pure Storage most valuable. The first is the "safe mode" function, and the second is its simplicity."
"The connections are a lot faster than what we had in the past. One InfiniBand does what we did on all of our Fibre Channels."
"Having fast storage allows actual servers to perform in high capacity so we don't have slowdowns on our applications."
"I like the deduplication and auto-tiering features."
"Ease of management, aside from the serious performance, is the best feature."
"The most valuable features are: complete performance and ease of use."
"The guaranteed sub-millisecond response time for a 4K block."
"The most valuable features are that it is fast and reliable."
"XtremIO is very stable."
"The speed is extremely valuable."
"Linear performance – The XtremIO wasn’t the fastest in all tests against other all flash arrays, but even with a massive workload, the response time and user experience were absolutely predictable with no sharp drop-offs."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"This product has good performance."
"It would be nice to have a better view of the allocated capacity on their Platform as a Service solution because we have to do some manual calculations to understand how much we are going to pay every month to use the storage that is allocated."
"I would rate this solution an eight. There's always room for improvement, nobody is perfect to get a ten out of ten. They do what they do well. It's not cheap but we it's for uses that we needed."
"We've had it in place for about a year and a half and have had zero complaints, other than that box-to-box replication is not encrypted."
"I would like to have support available in Spanish."
"The technical support is okay, but could be improved."
"The one major gripe I have is that there is no snapshotting enabled by default on the SAN."
"Storage. There could be better storage."
"I would like to see some improvements on the FlashBlade side around the CIFS space support. I am not super familiar with all the different NAS protocols that they run on their box, but there could be some improvements made on SMB CIFS side."
"In the next release, the solution could have better integration and if we can host assets on the cloud, such as NetApp has the NetApp volumes, which we can host on the cloud directly called NetApp CVO (cloud volume ONTAP). Dell EMC should come up with something purely on the cloud rather than manage services."
"Native data replication: To replicate data between XtremIO devices, you need to use EMC’s RecoverPoint appliances to move the data."
"XtremIO is coming to its end of life."
"I am not too impressed with XtremeIO because we had a major failure."
"Right now, external appliances are needed to replicate XtremIO to XtremIO, or to another EMC system."
"The solution needs to be simplified. When you integrate your storage with other systems, could use a little bit of automation."
"I would like to see the ease of deployment and built-in Metro clustering."
"The GUI could be modified more in terms of how the different components are linked to each other."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
