Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."It upgrades in place which means we'll be using it well into the future."
"All our junior partners can administer the storage arrays. It is simple and easy to use. We don't have to dedicate a whole team of full time people to work on it."
"It's extremely stable and has good performance."
"The initial setup was really straight forward."
"The solution is very reliable."
"Support has been helpful."
"It is the SAN backbone for our company."
"Simplicity and reliability are the most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray."
"The technical support is very professional and provides quick responses."
"It is easy to manage. A lot of the system manages itself."
"It is simple to use and easy to manage. We don't touch it after we set it up."
"Setup is simple."
"It has helped us be able to use less administrators per device or system. Therefore,we are more streamlined."
"It is ease to use. It performs. It's easy to provision, and It's stable."
"We like the way it integrates with our environment. These features help us use multiple soft applications. The new features of going off the grid and replicating really help us. They give us an advantage versus traditional storage resources."
"It's easy for us to use because we use other solutions which are built for Unity, like VMware, which are recovery points. They work with the Dell EMC Unity system, as these products integrate well in our environment."
"It's actually shaking hands with the workflow solutions much better than any other storage."
"It would be nice to have a better view of the allocated capacity on their Platform as a Service solution because we have to do some manual calculations to understand how much we are going to pay every month to use the storage that is allocated."
"I would rate this solution an eight because we have had outages. The commit times went very high in the database. The whole array went down so our customers were down for around eight hours. This was a very big outage which could have been our fault because we didn't do the upgrade in time."
"One thing I'd like to see in a future release is integration between their main storage array and what they call their FlashBlade product; to be able to snapshot directly from the primary array into multiple different backup copies on FlashBlade."
"Currently, the solution fails to support file screening."
"The solution is not cheap."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"It was not proactive communication."
"Had some issues with Purity not being entirely compatible with VMware ESXi."
"Scalability for the 650F is good, but I was expecting a little bit more."
"The interface and configuration could improve."
"Thick provisioning of LUNs."
"For the integration of the VPLEX function for Cross IDC structure, they should integrate the function into the SP controller."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say its capacity and its connection."
"One of the issues we've had is that controllers have crashed several times... We've had a lot of problems with the storage processor, SPBs. We've actually had them crash."
"More integration with VMware would always be helpful, plugins that go directly into the vSphere management. A single pane of glass is always beneficial."
"Include cloud-based replication for blocks"
"It has to be flexible according to the customer's requirements. It has to be aligned with the customer business and the business environment."
