We performed a comparison between Reduxio [EOL] and VNX [EOL] 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."It does efficient work of storing data while still delivering the performance that you would normally expect from a higher priced solution."
"It simplifies the overall management. We don't have to worry about storage anymore."
"As soon as we introduced our first Pure Storage FlashArray, the first benefit was at least twice the performance increase. Our production databases simply ran twice as fast with no other change."
"At this point, I don't know anything that they could provide in a better way."
"We like the speed. It's very low latency. In virtualization, you can mask lots of problems, and even in code you can mask lots of problems, with low latency. It's just pure speed and low latency."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most comfortable pricing, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The data reduction technology part of the scalability has been impressive, like its ability to host additional workloads, volumes of data, and databases."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support."
"By using the BackDating option we can restore volumes based on time. It also reduces volumes and maintenance time."
"We like the way the Reduxio is designed, the way the managing/operating end is just so much easier; fewer steps, more intuitive steps. It has a number of features baked into it that, in other products, are additional licensed components, like compression and dedupe."
"The down-to-the-second restore capability, native to the device is a valuable feature."
"In terms of ease of use, the GUI is quite amazing and seems to be taken from a computer game. Literally within 30 minutes, we had learned almost everything there is on the management UI and started managing the device."
"It needs integration with cloud vendors for remote storage, and to be able to restore a single machine from a specific volume."
"Instant recovery through its continuous data protection."
"Automated tiering and inline data deduplication."
"The HTML5 UI is clean, easy to navigate, and very intuitive."
"I really value deduplication and compression to save space."
"It is very stable even during multiple power failures."
"The implementation of both block and file system storage in a single GUI provides is better situated than most other storages."
"The replication feature provides another functionality to protect your data."
"FAST (auto-tiering): Doesn't require configuration and is managed by the array itself."
"Integration with VMware"
"High availability including non-disruptive updates: We cannot afford downtime windows."
"It is very stable, even during multiple power failures."
"The technical support is okay, but could be improved."
"I would rate this solution an eight. To make it a ten it would have to be a little cheaper."
"Its price needs improvement. Its price is almost double than any other flash storage solution."
"In terms of the future, I have been excited by some of the copy data management stuff that they're talking about building into the environment. There are feature sets where I've done a lot of automation work. So, I am always looking forward to extensions of their API. They're also talking about a phone home centralized analytics database being used as a centralized management console with a list of new cloud features, but this doesn't seem finalized."
"They are doing some stuff with containers and an object search. These could be improved, because containers is one of the main topics that we are talking with our customers about."
"The connectivity needs improvement. You do not have the possibility to have a file and block connectivity at the same time on the same machine. It has limited ability to do so."
"Self-backup is the only feature lacking in this solution."
"It goes at about 95 percent, so we have had some performance issues. It is hard to clear them."
"They're trying to do this, but they need to show more what their growth plan is, the development, what the next steps are, the future."
"I am waiting on a feature set in the new version which should allow me to replicate between Reduxio iSCSI SANs for disaster recovery and also to 3rd party iSCSI SANs which are cheaper for an archive or DR target."
"I would love an iPhone app to monitor my system from outside the firewall."
"It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN."
"Needs to be made easier to use with slightly older versions of VMware."
"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."
"Maybe it should come in stainless steel, just like its DeLorean time machine predecessor."
"The only thing that I'd like to see, at some point in time, is having the storage array being able to detect a ransomware attack. When you get hit by a ransomware it rewrites every block in your guest's virtual machine. So there should be a way for them to be able to detect that: "Hey, this is unusual, to see every block of this guest being rewritten all at one time," and then flag that as potential malware or ransomware."
"EMC VNX needs to support bigger SSD and the Next Generation EMC Unity does this."
"The scalability is average because the storage has some hardware limitations and, obviously, operating system limitations."
"It would be very helpful to get an automated report that shows you the size of the checkpoints and get warnings when a checkpoint is reaching either maximum capacity per a file system or hitting the ceiling on the SavVol pool consumption."
"The management software used for the VNX is Unicenter. While it is an improvement over Navicenter, used in older EMC SANs, it still feels outdated in comparison to other SAN management software."
"There is no easy way to defrag a RAID group. It would be nice to be able to reduce the size of a storage pool if the storage is not needed anymore."
"Poor connection to FC."
"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."
"Intel Xeon processors with under 2 GHz processing speeds could be replaced with more recent ones."
