Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Performance, dedupe, and that it works well with database workloads are its most valuable features."
"Performance is the most valuable feature."
"Data deduplication features make it easier to manage storage and forecast growth."
"The most valuable feature is how it simplifies the management of the SAN."
"The solution offers amazing performance."
"The initial setup was really straight forward."
"The most valuable feature is its speed."
"We put a fair amount of stress on it because we run sequel workloads and we run web applications where the same web files are hit over and over. We have had almost zero stability issues with that SAN, that has been really great for us."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"Logic/software management"
"The most valuable aspect is the use of solid-state storage drives instead of spinning drives."
"Inline compression"
"The speed and, for us in particular in what we're doing, the data de-duplication."
"Latency is definitely the big key for us."
"Implementation of the solution is very simple."
"Data reduction and snapshot abilities: Smaller footprint in the datacenter (lower cost for power, cooling, etc.)."
"The increased performance is many times above our previous array performance in all metrics. Integration with vSphere features is also a definite plus."
"We haven't seen ROI yet."
"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."
"It needs to improve its price."
"In some cases, we get into very in-depth conversations around movement of specific data and, what's more, chunk sizes. The documentation lacked any description or information on that."
"It is not possible to create a cluster on top of multiple arrays."
"The file functionality could be better."
"If they could make it cheaper, that would be something."
"Just some nit picky stuff, like allowing servers and volumes to be grouped. Therefore, it would easier to work with them in the GUI."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"I would like to see them work with Cisco, so it comes off the FIs, instead of having to go through my 10-gig network."
"I would like them to improve the look of the product’s external casing and shelves."
"Improved scale and budget planning with flexibility of the solution for budget needs and efficiency for growth with the great optimization ratio due to the nature of our use."
"The front panel of the drive shelf doesn't always seat firmly."
"Some of the nice to haves for us, in terms of today, would be VVols but again, it’s not a critical feature."
"The interface look and feel could be improved."
"I would like to see LDAP for the management panel; I've been notified they might be currently working on it."
"The system currently has a 15TB LUN size limit and that snapshots need to be scheduled through script API instead of the GUI."
