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."Access speed and power consumption are most valuable."
"The top-tier support and reliable storage are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The initial setup was very straightforward and very quick. It was up and running in our data center within 24 hours of receiving it."
"The stability of Pure Storage is very very good."
"The predictive performance analytics is a very good feature, as our system is performing better than before."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. You simply plug it in and turn it on."
"It helps simplify storage. When you're running Pure all-flash, you don't have to do a lot of the old Oracle best practices. You don't have to worry about putting log files on a different disk channel than the data files, and those types of issues... That has made it vastly easier to do large volumes, rapid provisioning in databases, without taking a performance hit."
"The stability and performance are the best things about the solution."
"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."
"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."
"We've seen great enhancements from the performance point of view. There's good availability, stability, and continuity, but the performance actually has increased by 60 or 70%."
"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."
"It was very easy and straightforward to setup."
"Dell XtremIO is good for databases and huge workloads."
"The speed is extremely valuable."
"Very good IOPS performance"
"This product has good performance."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"It was a little costly. The price was ultimately higher than both of the other solutions that we evaluated. I'd say that's the only downside."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve by being more secure."
"Pricing could be better in comparison to other solutions."
"I can't see where they can make anything better, unless, of course, they lower their prices even more."
"A three wave application or multi wave application synchronization would be an improvement."
"CIFS and SMB Shares cannot be mounted directly."
"I would like to have support available in Spanish."
"Having something native in the Pure Storage ecosystem would make it integrated and in one single company, and we wouldn't have to work with multiple organizations."
"The GUI could be modified more in terms of how the different components are linked to each other."
"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."
"It is very expensive to scale. You have to buy an additional system to extend from one disc, for instance. It is scalable, but extremely expensive to do so."
"This solution is geared toward enterprise-level companies. Small and medium-sized businesses would find it extremely expensive."
"I believe having more replication options comparatively to VMAX (other than RecoverPoint) would be great."
"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 the next release, the solution could have better integration and if we can host assets on the cloud, such as NetApp has the NetApp volumes, which we can host on the cloud directly called NetApp CVO (cloud volume ONTAP). Dell EMC should come up with something purely on the cloud rather than manage services."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
