Find out what your peers are saying about Hitachi Vantara, IBM, Dell Technologies and others in Frame-Based Disk Arrays."The stability of Pure Storage is very very good."
"With Pure Storage, we don't see any latency or IOPS. It has been a very seamless integration."
"Data reduction and compression. Sub millisecond latency."
"It allows engineers to focus on other things rather than doing the more manual tasks. It automates tasks, so the ease of use is extreme. It simplifies the storage."
"It does efficient work of storing data while still delivering the performance that you would normally expect from a higher priced solution."
"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."
"It's easy to use, and the maintenance upgrades to get free controllers work really well."
"The tool is simple and easy to use. It has neat features like protection from device removal. Moreover, you can undo the deletes. The solution is easy to work with and not as complicated as CAC"
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"Overall, the solution is strong, easy and fast."
"The setup is very easy to manage and configure. The initial setup and takes one hour more or less."
"This is one of the most stable, high-end solutions in this area."
"The most valuable feature is that you can use it with all deployment models."
"Storage is the most valuable feature."
"One of the features, for us, that is important is the monitoring platform integrated into the solution. It has all the elements that we need to see, at all times, to be sure the platform is working right."
"This is a good product with high capabilities and high reliability."
"The most valuable feature is that it has 'eight nines' availability, 99.999999 percent of the time. That is the main selling point."
"The setup needs to be improved the most. They can do a little more with the user interface, but the setup is what I would like to see made a bit easier."
"It would be nice if Pure had something in its portfolio that provided higher deduplication and compression for backups."
"The number of Filesystems is limited, which it is not on the EMC VNX."
"The problem is that we can only make a few groups, around five or six groups. I like groups and we need a lot of them. We had to put all the information in only a few groups and cannot make a more detailed separation of them."
"The technical support is okay, but could be improved."
"The only time that we had problems with it was that there was a bug in the VVol implementation but, outside of that, it has been flawless."
"The 3PAR SSD arrays that we have are still failing a lot so even though we're under warranty, we still have to get someone out and usually have someone troubleshoot so that usually adds onto the cost. With Pure, we've had a disc fail and we pop it out and you pop it in and it's good to go."
"We did have one hiccup with the integration of vCenter. When we were installing Pure Storage, we were using vCenter 6.7, which defaults to the HTML5 Web Client. The current plugin for Pure Storage doesn't show up in that client at all. You have to go and use the legacy FlexFlash client to see the Pure Storage plugin in vCenter."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"They should look at the cost because there are other vendors who offer the same cost with more features."
"In terms of what could be improved, it could use a better, faster web console and other consoles. It is so boring waiting, waiting and waiting for it to refresh."
"We've only faced some minor issues. For example, the documentation of some features isn't as detailed as we would like."
"I would like the fan noise to be automatically adjusted based on the drive's current workload."
"At the moment, I don't see any room for improvement in Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series because my experience with the product is very good. The software is okay and you can manage the storage well. What I'd like to see in the next release of Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is for it to be a real NAS solution because right now, you need to use a Hitachi converter called HNAS which makes the process a little bit more expensive. In my opinion, Hitachi should look into the possibility of unifying the HNAS into full storage, meaning that the HNAS should be integrated into the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series."
"Its usability can be improved. It can have more management features. Its management tools lack features."
"In the next version I would like to see more intelligence."
"We moved away from this product because we were looking for an all-flash solution, and with our G1500 at the time, perhaps two years ago, they were just proposing more of the same technology."
