We performed a comparison between Dell XtremIO and Reduxio [EOL] 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."We've had different types of storage, and three things of this solution are valuable. The first one is its outstanding performance. The second one is its stability. In the about three years that we've had it, we've had component failures, but we never had a service interruption or any data loss. The third one, which is really critical, is that it is super easy to use in terms of provisioning, storage, and managing the arrays. I'm able to maintain a multi-site environment with a couple of dozen arrays with a single mid-level storage admin."
"Their REST API is wonderful, well-documented, and easy to use."
"The solution helps to simplify storage."
"With Pure Storage, we don't see any latency or IOPS. It has been a very seamless integration."
"Simplicity and reliability are the most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray."
"Technical support is excellent. I've had very good responses from technical support. We had a couple of cases where we needed support. Some of the communications were purely over email and some has been an actual call to the service desk."
"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 sales and executive support have been outstanding compared to the rest of the market... My upgrade paths have been simple on the Pure... It's a lot simpler to implement and a lot simpler to manage."
"A valuable feature of XtremIO is that, in terms of administration, it's simple and manageable."
"The most valuable features are: complete performance and ease of use."
"The Metro clustering and solid-state performance, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Very good IOPS performance"
"The performance is good, which is important."
"It is great for applications like Microsoft Exchange, ERP, SQL and VDI; basically saved the VDI buy-in from users, as now performance was seamless in comparison to a physical PC."
"Performance and deduplication. This is a very robust block storage option that offers both performance and data optimization."
"Ease of management, aside from the serious performance, is the best feature."
"We are enjoying a quantum leap in speed, reliability, and available space with this system."
"Improves the response of the VMs by having the most used portions on the flashcache."
"The BackDating feature which allows us to go back to any point in the past at one second granularity, is an amazing feature and allows us to recover from any mishap to our data – whether it's a malware attack, an application error or a human error. We have never seen this capability in any other storage product."
"We can offer a lot more storage to our end users."
"The always-on deduplication and compression is also effective and allows us to achieve about 3x savings on space utilization."
"We are able to recover to the second, if needed, our data. This greatly improves restore capability, for example, if there is a cryptolocker outbreak or data loss."
"I like the Reduxio TimeOS, specifically. That feature's pretty good. I haven't seen it in any other product. They're the only ones who have it."
"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 would like to see better troubleshooting aspects. It helps us if we can find out where the problem is. Right now, it's difficult. Sometimes it's difficult to pinpoint the issue. If they had more visibility and more troubleshooting feature built into the tool that would really help."
"I would like to see more cloud integration."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve in the area of cryptographic information in the consoles. The user-friendliness could improve. The Pure Storage FlashArray team should come and log into the system with their maintenance credentials and then pull out the information as evidence of cryptography."
"The one major gripe I have is that there is no snapshotting enabled by default on the SAN."
"I would love for them to have a hyper-converged solution."
"Beyond a certain amount of petabytes, you have to have a separate system. Basically, it's not infinitely scalable."
"I would rate this solution an eight. To make it a ten it would have to be a little cheaper."
"The number of Filesystems is limited, which it is not on the EMC VNX."
"In some cases where we don’t need the flexibility of the virtualization layer, we could free up resources on the VPLEX by using the storage replication."
"XtremIO needs to be lower priced. It also needs better endpoints and scalability."
"This solution is geared toward enterprise-level companies. Small and medium-sized businesses would find it extremely expensive."
"It needs a way to determine the deduplication of each LUN and what the impact would be if we were to move data from one LUN to another."
"Native data replication: To replicate data between XtremIO devices, you need to use EMC’s RecoverPoint appliances to move the data."
"Scalability is something that can be improved because there is an issue when it comes to mixing versions."
"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 ability to look at data at a file level would be useful, as well as the ability recover at that level. Right now, you can only recover whole volumes."
"It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN."
"Would love to have role-based access and an active directory integration."
"Needs some hooks into cloud storage for backup. Also they should update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource."
"Scalability is a little unusual. We came from the NetApp world where, if you needed more disk space, you just added more drives into the chassis, whereas with Reduxio, if you need more disk space, you have to buy a new chassis."
"Maybe it should come in stainless steel, just like its DeLorean time machine predecessor."
"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."
"It would be nice feature if the GUI had an option to export the current unit configuration to a file or an email recipient. In case of a disaster, this way it would be quicker to get a replacement unit up and running again."
