We performed a comparison between Dell XtremIO and INFINIDAT InfiniBox based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."It helps us maintain uptime much better than other solutions we've used in the past, and the support is extremely quick and responsive."
"Pure is simple to set up and manage on a day-to-day basis."
"Technical support is good."
"It's actually very stable"
"Our storage phones home. It is smart and intelligent in that aspect, which has been huge for us. We don't have to be storage administrators."
"The most valuable feature is it never goes down. We can expand and create volumes."
"The management features are well organized and they have a very good dashboard."
"The compression and deduplication features help to make the best use of the capacity."
"Deduplication and cloning capability"
"The speed is extremely valuable."
"The program is very stable."
"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."
"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."
"I like the deduplication and auto-tiering features."
"Dell XtremIO is good for databases and huge workloads."
"The Metro clustering and solid-state performance, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"This product has good performance."
"I would love for them to have a hyper-converged solution."
"They could improve the price."
"I would like to see data tiering to AWS."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"I would like to see active replication. I know that it's available now but I haven't tried it yet. I hope that it works."
"We would like to integrate it more with our backup solutions."
"I would like to see more cloud integration."
"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."
"One thing that should be improved is the reporting and monitoring tools. It should use real time monitoring for storage, IOPS, latency, etc."
"I would like to see the ease of deployment and built-in Metro clustering."
"Get rid of the Java aspect of the GUI console."
"If you are looking at flash storage solutions, XtremIO doesn't offer any unique features. Most of my customers are migrating their workload from XtremIO to other formats because of this."
"They can improve the product by providing an HTML5-based interface instead of the Java GUI based application."
"Native data replication: To replicate data between XtremIO devices, you need to use EMC’s RecoverPoint appliances to move the data."
"I would like hardware capacity additions to be a little more flexible. The upgrade path for the existing XTremIO units requires you to purchase 2 XBricks at a time and they need to be the same capacity as the existing XBricks."
"I am not too impressed with XtremeIO because we had a major failure."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
