Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are simplicity, ease of use, and dashboard management."
"The solution offers amazing performance."
"We've had to use tech support on a number of occasions. They did everything remotely and talked us all the way through. They fixed the issue within 30 minutes. Every single time we contact them, they're perfect. I would give their technical support a ten out of ten."
"We also use VMware integrations developed by Pure, their plugins in our vCenter environment. They help by allowing our non-technical operations teams to deploy new data stores and resize data stores without me having to involve myself all the time to do those simple tasks."
"The ease of management is one of the most valuable features of this solution. I would have also said that it's pretty fast but now our SQL servers are starting to beat it up pretty bad."
"Its array houses our entire production environment."
"The mobile app is very helpful."
"The management features are well organized and they have a very good dashboard."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"Tintri VMstore is rock solid. We have not had a single issue with stability. It is also very low maintenance allowing us to concentrate on project work."
"Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly."
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"It is very stable even during multiple power failures."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-tiering, which helps in the speed of data access."
"Integration with VMware"
"I really value deduplication and compression to save space."
"Multi-tiering, positively affects the efficiency of the storage space."
"FAST (auto-tiering): Doesn't require configuration and is managed by the array itself."
"The implementation of both block and file system storage in a single GUI provides is better situated than most other storages."
"It is very stable, even during multiple power failures."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"Part of our company works on Dell EMC because Pure Storage did not have synchronous applications when we were purchasing our products."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see automated copy data management for SQL Server."
"What it needs to do is work a little closer with solutions, like VMware, so it understands the particular workloads that are on it. Today, it does not understand the applications which are running against it."
"Had some issues with Purity not being entirely compatible with VMware ESXi."
"In some cases, we get into very in-depth conversations around movement of specific data and, what's more, chunk sizes. The documentation lacked any description or information on that."
"As partners, we should have the option to download the software, rather than have to go back through Pure to obtain it."
"FlashArray's capacity for forecasting should be improved because it needs to be a bit more current. I think it's bundled with the deduplication and other compression factors. We need more user interfaces for forecasting in this software and more interfaces need to be integrated with this array management tool."
"Technical support is an area where we had several issues, and it was hard to get some support in a specific case we had. I'm not very satisfied with them."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"I would like it to have the ability to store data other than virtual machines. At the moment, you can only connect VMs to it, and that’s a bit disappointing."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"More cloud integration."
"Speed of our VDI machines. We have a very high log in and log out ratio and machines are being refreshed instantly so we have a constant boot storm on our storage."
"The scalability is average because the storage has some hardware limitations and, obviously, operating system limitations."
"Poor connection to FC."
"Intel Xeon processors with under 2 GHz processing speeds could be replaced with more recent ones."
"The CLI could be better documented, like with VMAX."
"There is an easy replication process between distinct data centers via VPLEX and/or RPA. But I hope in the future that EMC/Dell could replicate this with other types of storage."
"EMC VNX needs to support bigger SSDs. Next generation EMC Unity will do this."
"VNX can improve by offering flexible upgrade options. It's not possible to add a single HDD to a current array and there are fixed rules to make upgrades."
"If the VNX had embedded encryption, that would be great."
