Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Hitachi Vantara and others in NVMe All-Flash Storage Arrays."The tool has reduced our power consumption."
"Very stable; no worries about how much it can handle."
"I like the speed, and I like the API and how programmable it is."
"It is an easy to use product for all of my team members."
"The job of support for the storage engineers dramatically changed. We know more quickly the automation of the provisioning. We can now focus on things that bring more value to the company than just managing storage."
"It has improved my organization because now have lower latency, we get fewer complaints from customers, and we see a constant response time."
"Pure Storage FlashArray has significantly improved our data center performance. It handles high workloads efficiently, providing better performance in the environment. With increased storage capacity, it has led to improved overall system performance. The tool's technology is a standout feature. It has helped me reduce storage costs by 15 percent."
"The predictive performance analytics are good."
"The most valuable features are that it is easy to implement and configure, easy to use, and really reliable."
"They have one of the best technical supports in my experience."
"It's quite easy to scale, and you have the option to have distributed nodes everywhere around the world that work as one. You can also have a solution for small branch offices with only two nodes for redundancy, and that's good enough to start."
"The management interface of this solution is great."
"The most valuable feature I have found to be the Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV)."
"It is very easy to clone systems using the solution."
"The simplicity when it comes to building your own automation has been excellent."
"Flexibility. We're able to mix performance nodes with storage nodes easily. Unlike other vendors where, if we start a hyperconverged solution with them, we have to stick to a specific model, to a specific series with specific capabilities, with Nutanix it's very easy to mix and match the best solution, especially for a dynamic infrastructure like ours."
"The initial setup was quite straightforward."
"It was not proactive communication."
"I recognize it's a difficult challenge, but I would like to see them make the pricing more reasonable."
"It is not possible to create a cluster on top of multiple arrays."
"It is way in excess of what we need. If anything, we could see a bit more speed. I'm just comparing it with what some of my colleagues who are implementing their own systems do."
"When we were doing some tests, we found that there was an I/O freeze when they were switching the controller."
"I would rate this solution an eight. There's always room for improvement, nobody is perfect to get a ten out of ten. They do what they do well. It's not cheap but we it's for uses that we needed."
"In the configuration, which we brought in or tested it in, it has a very limited config as far as the array goes. That said, it still did more than our anticipation."
"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."
"The security and reporting could be improved."
"Some clients find the solution's cost to be too high."
"In the next release, I would like better and more competitive pricing."
"One disadvantage of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is it doesn't support external storage. Connecting external SAN storage to Nutanix, it's not supported."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve by having an auto-update feature. At this time I have to update each system manually. However, I bought the standard license and I did not buy the maximum license they have available. There could be a certain license that does the updates automatically."
"They have offered some new features that I have not deployed so I assume that these issues might have been addressed already, but, at my time there was a networking problem."
"There is a feature that exists used for disaster recovery, but it requires an extra license. It should be included with the regular normal standard license."
"NCI's pricing is expensive."
"It would be great if it could emulate some of the features that their competitor VMware has, for example port mirroring or Netflow output at hypervisor level."
