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."The speed is the most valuable feature, along with the ease of getting it connected. We were able to get it online in less than a day."
"This solution has improved our organization in the way that we used to see latency but now with this solution we don't. It also has good performance. Latencies have come down for our performance in the SQL databases. We can put a lot more in a lot less in terms of space savings. We also save data center space have good deduplication."
"The first year, we started out with one or five terabytes and it took what was 20 terabytes of storage down to less than one terabyte."
"Technical support has been amazing."
"What I like most about this solution, is the speed, resiliency and scalability."
"Pure is simple to set up and manage on a day-to-day basis."
"The top-tier support and reliable storage are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Very stable; no worries about how much it can handle."
"The program is very stable."
"XtremIO is very stable."
"A valuable feature of XtremIO is that, in terms of administration, it's simple and manageable."
"Very good IOPS performance"
"Speed and reliability:"
"The most valuable features are that it is fast and reliable."
"We mostly use it for backup, because we cannot measure anything, and we are afraid to use it for surveillance systems. We were planning to use it for mostly for surveillance systems."
"Thin storage allocation"
"The TimeOS support and I/O performance. For instance, recovery of data from any point in time, and the speed of the unit, are incredible compared to other devices we reviewed."
"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."
"Enables multiple hosts access to the virtual machines by providing for moving VMs due to maintenance or host failure."
"By using the BackDating option we can restore volumes based on time. It also reduces volumes and maintenance time."
"The support has been so responsive and great, they feel like one of our staff members."
"We love the fact that we do not have to worry about ransomware and can rollback to any point in time."
"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."
"It's very intuitive, has a very modern interface. Instead of making the user set up a million parameters for things that the system knows better anyway, they put all the intelligence in the product and made the controls much easier."
"In terms of the future, I have been excited by some of the copy data management stuff that they're talking about building into the environment. There are feature sets where I've done a lot of automation work. So, I am always looking forward to extensions of their API. They're also talking about a phone home centralized analytics database being used as a centralized management console with a list of new cloud features, but this doesn't seem finalized."
"The way Pure Storage does the controller storage warranty or replacement has been an issue for some people who just replace the controllers every couple of years, and that's where some of the confusion with pricing and support has come in. They should be clear on the way the controller replacements happen, as it is important to know whether or not you can get a good return on them, because it can be a little confusing."
"If we suddenly dump large amounts of data onto the storage system, it takes a while to process it."
"I want to learn more about command line usage which I have not explored much yet. However, there are many automated solutions for repetitive tasks. I would like to see additional features like performance monitoring, configuring of alerts, and the customization of alert thresholds in the next release."
"The initial setup of the product is complex."
"There are many features which need to be added, particularly on the replication side."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"It goes at about 95 percent, so we have had some performance issues. It is hard to clear them."
"They can improve the product by providing an HTML5-based interface instead of the Java GUI based application."
"The implementation isn't exactly complex, but the solution should have some enhancements in it to make the process more centralized."
"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."
"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."
"The physical architecture could use some higher levels of redundancy."
"XtremIO is coming to its end of life."
"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."
"Sometimes we don't get an immediate response from the support team. The initial POC also took a lot of resources."
"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."
"Needs some hooks into cloud storage for backup. Also they should update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource."
"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."
"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."
"Integration is needed with other virtual vendors like VMware, Veeam, Hyper-V; that integration needs to be deeper, not just the way that they're using it now. I know that it's under development, but I think this is one of the disadvantages, for now, as a young company. They have to work with the other players on the market."
"I am waiting for the vSphere Plug-In with individual VM level control."
"Scalability. Reduxio has only one product, they don’t have an option, for now, to expand the storage product."
"Would love to have role-based access and an active directory integration."
