Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Processes that used to take 40 minutes to two hours can be completed in five minutes."
"The best feature is consistently lower latency, even when IOPS crank up to over 75K. The product maintains submillisecond response time, which is incredible."
"Technical support has been amazing."
"The reliability is very good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support."
"One of the features that my customers are really interested in is immutable snapshots. There are immutable snapshots to which your applications can be reverted back if you are hit by some kind of ransomware threat or malicious attack. That's kind of a key deal, and it is one of the selling points I use to point out to my customers the value and the features that Pure Storage brings to the table."
"One of the lesser sung advantages was when we started running our interface engine on Pure Storage. The ability to process messages and pass them through in our organization skyrocketed purely because of a disk that I owned which we were getting out of Pure Storage."
"The stability is very good. I've done destructive testing on it and never had any type of storage outages from it."
"The deduplication functionality provided by the solution is fairly good. The speed offered by the product is enough for our organization."
"The solution is stable."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"For access from virtual machines, iSCSI, and NFS, it is very good. It helps increase performance."
"It is very easy to use. Access is very friendly. It shows you a lot of important information at the first glance. It has been very easy to use."
"Typically, high-performance and high-availability features, such as application snapshots and remote and local replication, are highly valued."
"I like the performance of the PowerStore. When you talk about PowerStore, it's mainly about flash systems and high-end IOPS. The 1000T is a midsize box, in terms of the way the vendor positions it, but it is more than enough for our needs."
"Migrations are very easy and fast."
"It offers rich features and high speed for transferring data."
"The tool's notable feature is that we don't need to log a case directly with the vendor. The tool has access to all the logs on-premises. This is an on-premises solution. Additionally, we can provision data as thick or thin provisioned. Moreover, it includes data grid duplication and compression features."
"I recognize it's a difficult challenge, but I would like to see them make the pricing more reasonable."
"It goes at about 95 percent, so we have had some performance issues. It is hard to clear them."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"I would like some form of QoS implemented. As a service provider, it would be beneficial to have it."
"We would like to see more development on their Copy Automation Tool (CAT) for Oracle, as well as better integration for our customers running Oracle VM."
"There's always an opportunity for new feature functionality."
"Areas for improvement would be the financial operations. In the next release, I would like to see a NAS protocol included."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve by being more secure."
"It was very new when we first deployed it a year ago. Even the upgrade processes and knowing what to expect, as well as documentation, could be more robust."
"The storage could be improved. I would like a feature for how to best secure an appliance and the storage since we are connecting the container to the public cloud. I would like them to develop another level of security, making it more secure than from what they have now."
"I have not seen anything specific. The only thing I can think of that needs improvement is the price."
"It's also only supported with a limited amount of switches."
"There is no Synchronize replication feature on the storage."
"When it comes to Dell PowerStore, I would like to see more integration and more security features included. It's unfortunate that the solution does not feature Flash trace."
"I do not like having to use VPLEX for synchronous replication, as opposed to having the store software built-in."
"The pricing could be lower. It is very expensive."
"It would be better if there were an option to incorporate the NVMe feature alongside other storage tiers. Currently, the system operates on Autotier but can manually peer and mix different types of drives, such as SAS and SATA drives."
"We had some issues while installing it on our servers. It required more resources while cross-checking. So, the initial setup process could be better."
