Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Our storage phones home. It is smart and intelligent in that aspect, which has been huge for us. We don't have to be storage administrators."
"Lone segmentation is simpler and more agile. It's improved the velocity in overall provisioning from project to operation."
"The best feature is consistently lower latency, even when IOPS crank up to over 75K. The product maintains submillisecond response time, which is incredible."
"The stability and performance are the best things about the solution."
"The initial setup was straightforward in the way that it was a database vacuum storage."
"The deduplication in the array combined with its snap technologies allows the product to be remotely/manually controlled or scheduled."
"Processes that used to take 40 minutes to two hours can be completed in five minutes."
"Because of the encryption, we have different storage and the encryption can go over both."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"This solution is good for virtualization and meets the need for CPU and RAM requirements."
"Lenovo ThinkSystem DE Series is quite an elementary box, no frills. It does not have all the functionality of the DM but it is acceptable, it does its task. It integrates pretty well."
"We have been working with the solution for around a year and so far it has shown itself to be stable."
"The most valuable features of the Lenovo ThinkSystem DE Series are the dual controllers, available installation documentation, and the option of multiple host bus adapter interfaces."
"Its initial setup process is easy."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"ThinkSystem's storage performs well, and the price per gigabyte is good, especially on SSD solutions. It's also easy to use."
"I would like to have support available in Spanish."
"In the next release of the solution I would like to see Vormetric native block encryption."
"The solution could improve by having a multi-tenant feature."
"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."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"The technical support is okay, but could be improved."
"Pricing could be better in comparison to other solutions."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"Usually, when a part fails, we have to replace it and it takes a while. It would be better if the part could be available locally here in Kenya so we don't have to wait so long to repair the solution."
"Its performance could be faster."
"The difficult part comes when dealing with the host. You have to enable multi-pathing and other aspects that are needed for proper configuration. I don't know if there is room for a more hyper-conversion structure to work with, but this would be easier."
"The solution could be more scalable, although it suits our present needs."
"Improvements can be made to the product's performance."
"In the next release, I would like to see support for Hyper-converged infrastructure."
"The features are limited."
"ThinkSystem could be better integrated with backup software like Commvault, Veritas, or Symantec."
