Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Has also helped simplify storage for us. The other person we put in there, took about a week to implement. And we had both arrays set up within around four hours with a thirty minute drive time between the two locations."
"It gives us capacity planning."
"The compression and deduplication features help to make the best use of the capacity."
"The GUI is very easy to use and intuitive."
"This solution has helped my organization by cutting down on provisioning time. I used to have to provision a VM and it would take ten minutes. Now, it takes thirty seconds."
"The console is simple to use. It has good performance. It is easy to install, understand, and manage, with a good ratio of deduplication and compression. It is doing its job."
"The most valuable features are extremely low latency, high IOPS with VMware, inline deduplication and compression."
"They have really good baked in analytics to show you trends for growth history, so it does help with future planning for data growth."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It has reduced our electricity usage by reducing the amount of disks needed for the virtual environment."
"EasyTier/hotcaching: Valuable because it allows greater performance than standard SAS disks"
"It's very fast. We were seeing read latencies of less than one millisecond. It is robust."
"It provides a combination of all the protocols that you need, without losing deduplication and compression."
"Data Compression: Up to 80% space reduction in the database"
"High performance and ease-of-management are the most valuable features."
"It performed great originally, and when it performed great, it was awesome."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"The time-to-market could be better at times, but I think that's true for all vendors of hardware."
"Beyond a certain amount of petabytes, you have to have a separate system. Basically, it's not infinitely scalable."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve by being more secure."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"I would like to see support for NVMe, end-to-end."
"Just some nit picky stuff, like allowing servers and volumes to be grouped. Therefore, it would easier to work with them in the GUI."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"The GUI is simplistic and basic. I feel like it's explanatory, but not enough, it needs a little more to it."
"Performance is horrible now. Our original intent was to buy new storage in about two years. But since it became a critical urgency for us, we decided to purchase a new one in two or three months."
"In the proxy section you can’t choose a user account and password, so it is not allowed at the moment to go out, if customer has such constellation."
"They need to offer better integration for a virtual platform to enable you to create hyper-converged solution."
"We had just one small stability problem with power flapping and it did not start up again automatically. We had to access service ports and manually restart the storage processors."
"Snapshots are not as easy to access as on a NetApp device."
"It's somewhat scalable, but maybe not so much as some of the competition."
"It only keeps one hour of real-time data without the ability to do deep analysis of each element."
"Technical support is bad. It'd grade them at 30% or 40%. The response time is terrible."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
