Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."It reduces space and the polar consumption. It also accelerates the application."
"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."
"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."
"We consume less physical storage because of the solution’s deduplication and compression."
"The availability and ease of use are the big features."
"Scalability is one of the best features. You can quickly add more. You can swap out the drives with larger sizes, you can add more shelves. All of that is perfect - the whole concept of keeping it modular..."
"Cost, racial per terabyte, and speed is why we chose PureStorage. It was no brainer."
"The compression and deduplication features help to make the best use of the capacity."
"Dell XtremIO is good for databases and huge workloads."
"Ease of management, aside from the serious performance, is the best feature."
"It has very good performance for an application which needs lower latency and a better response, for example, in microseconds."
"The guaranteed sub-millisecond response time for a 4K block."
"The solution's most valuable features are the inline data reduction and deduplication."
"Snapshots are valuable because of their seamless nature, as well as the minimal space each snapshot takes."
"The most valuable features are: complete performance and ease of use."
"XtremIO is very stable."
"It's actually shaking hands with the workflow solutions much better than any other storage."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"The product should improve its response time. I have also encountered issues with its configuration."
"It goes at about 95 percent, so we have had some performance issues. It is hard to clear them."
"I would like to see more detailed reporting on the data. However, it would be nice to know what are the exact VMs usage after deduplication and/or what that VMs actual latency and bandwidth is, outside of VMware."
"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."
"I would like to see data tiering to AWS."
"Pure Storage will have issues with positioning in the near future since its a relatively new company. For now, customers need a PoC to trust using the solution, as it can't stand on its brand name alone. They need to improve Pure Storage's marketing."
"I would love to see a true one click upgrade solution. Right now, you have to click and schedule an appointment with Pure Storage to be able to upgrade. I would love for it to automatically download, install, and fall-over every controller as it updates."
"The product could be improved by reducing the pricing and having better organization in their technical support team."
"They can improve the product by providing an HTML5-based interface instead of the Java GUI based application."
"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."
"The physical architecture could use some higher levels of redundancy."
"Ease of use is key in the converged and hyper-converged world that requires administrators to have both hypervisor and storage skills."
"Sometimes we don't get an immediate response from the support team. The initial POC also took a lot of resources."
"I would like to see the ease of deployment and built-in Metro clustering."
"It has to be flexible according to the customer's requirements. It has to be aligned with the customer business and the business environment."
