We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"FlashArray has some fresh efficiency features. I've never seen a storage solution with a compression rating this high before. It's at least 4-to-1 on Oracle databases. It's the best flash storage for Oracle.""It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights.""The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward.""The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance.""The solution is scalable.""Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution.""It's helped us because we've changed fundamentally what we talk about. We don't talk about storage and different tiers of storage anymore nor do we talk about servers. We talk now about applications and how applications impact the business and end users.""The standout features for us in Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its robust DDoS protection, seamless transparent failover, and failback capabilities ensuring high availability."

More Pure FlashArray X NVMe Pros →

"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."

More Hitachi Universal Storage VM [EOL] Pros →

"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance.""I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain""Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use.""Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly.""Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production.""Among the most valuable features are its granular replication, the ability to define asynchronous or synchronous replication, which gives us very definable RTOs and RPOs around that type of service, and granular quality-of-service configuration, which allows for cases where you've got multiple customers on a single Tintri, but you want to be able to offer strong quality-of-service metrics and KPIs.""The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable.""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."

Cons
"If the customer only needs 500 terabytes and doesn't care how much data they'll put in the server, IBM is cheaper than Pure.""We need better data deduplication.""In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems.""We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI.""We would like to see VNC integration or be able to use Pure Storage with VNC.""You cannot tag a LUN with a description, and that should be improved. What I like on the Unity side is that when I expand LUNs or do things, there is an information field on the LUN. This is the Information field that you can tag on your LUNs to let yourself know, "Hey, I've added this much space on this date". Pure lacks that ability. So, you don't have a mechanism that's friendly for tracking your data expansions on the LUN and for adding any additional information. That's a downside for me.""I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center.""In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."

"The exterior display needs to be improved."

More Hitachi Universal Storage VM [EOL] Cons →

"On the software side, I suggest adding integration with backups software like CommVault Simpana or Veeam where these products can integrate with the array and trigger things like snapshots for backup, etc.""I think with the world soon becoming only SSD, possibly NVMe, and 3D Xpoint. It would make sense for Tintri to drop the hybrid array down the line.""What I feel would be nice, in terms of a wishlist, is scalability. Rather than replacing the whole appliance, I would like to be able to just add another unit and scale it like that.""The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here.""I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic.""We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports.""Their current replication is really just enough to "check the box" that they do replication. We'll probably implement Actifio, Zerto or EMC RecoverPoint for VMs for more critical data replication.""The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "With Pure Storage, we would like to continue seeing price reductions with flash storage. I don't think we're any different than anybody else when we continue to look to the industry for price reductions of both NVMe and traditional SSD storage. We would like to see these prices continue to decline and erode, even displacing large spinning disks."
  • "We pay approximately $50,000 USD per year in licensing fees."
  • "With VMware, we pay $300,000 annually."
  • "Our licensing fees are $500,000+ USD."
  • "As far as the licensing costs, everything is included in the license."
  • "They can tout the functionality and cutting edge technology that they have, but that's where the price tag comes in. The cost is high, but I think as they grow their business and get more customers that it will probably go down a little bit."
  • "Its price could be better. It is not too expensive, but it is the high-end cost. It is kind of a Rolls-Royce. You pay a lot, but you get a lot out of it. So, the price pressure on the way down would be great, but at the end of the day, if you need to do the work, you just pay for it."
  • "The licensing is on a yearly basis."

  • "The price is the price and is reasonable for the class of storage."
  • "Tintri arrays are cheaper then other vendors while still providing an excellent level of performance."
  • "Performance for the price is amazing."
  • "The cost of all the SW is well spent because it makes you save on backup and DR."
  • "Always could be cheaper."
  • "​I think it is a very good solution. You get a good bang for buck.​"
