Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."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."
"The back-end data reporting for Pure Storage is phenomenal. The data that you can see on the performance of your customers' array, so you can be proactive about upgrades or enhancements, and is a phenomenal tool to have access to as a partner. I haven't seen this type of stuff out of anything of the other storage systems."
"The simplicity of it. The performance is good, but the simplicity is the best thing. Storage management is quite complex, but Pure Storage is easy to manage."
"Very stable; no worries about how much it can handle."
"Performance is the most valuable feature."
"Redundancy and the fault tolerance of the platform are the most impressive."
"Technical support is good."
"It is noticeably easier to manage than other appliances that we have."
"Snapshots are valuable because of their seamless nature, as well as the minimal space each snapshot takes."
"Very good IOPS performance"
"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."
"A valuable feature of XtremIO is that, in terms of administration, it's simple and manageable."
"Xtrem10's features are more simple to implement. The integration and interface are also good."
"The speed is extremely valuable."
"Speed and reliability:"
"Initially, we faced numerous issues with our analytical systems. However, we saw performance improvement after the implementation of the solution."
"It's actually shaking hands with the workflow solutions much better than any other storage."
"The solution could improve by having a multi-tenant feature."
"When we were doing some tests, we found that there was an I/O freeze when they were switching the controller."
"A three wave application or multi wave application synchronization would be an improvement."
"In the configuration, which we brought in or tested it in, it has a very limited config as far as the array goes. That said, it still did more than our anticipation."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve the recent file storage capabilities because it is lacking a lot of features."
"If we suddenly dump large amounts of data onto the storage system, it takes a while to process it."
"I would like to get a weekly report of how our storage has been used, and if there is any storage sitting there not being used."
"It would be good to have metrics of the box's performance so we can see what it delivers, but currently, I can't see what it's actually doing."
"XtremIO is coming to its end of life."
"The GUI could be modified more in terms of how the different components are linked to each other."
"Get rid of the Java aspect of the GUI console."
"Native data replication: To replicate data between XtremIO devices, you need to use EMC’s RecoverPoint appliances to move the data."
"The management should be improved and the GUI interface could be better and easier."
"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."
"The implementation isn't exactly complex, but the solution should have some enhancements in it to make the process more centralized."
"Scalability is something that can be improved because there is an issue when it comes to mixing versions."
"It has to be flexible according to the customer's requirements. It has to be aligned with the customer business and the business environment."
