Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Data deduplication features make it easier to manage storage and forecast growth."
"One of the lesser sung advantages was when we started running our interface engine on Pure Storage. The ability to process messages and pass them through in our organization skyrocketed purely because of a disk that I owned which we were getting out of Pure Storage."
"We also like the compactness, the small footprint. It takes up very little space in a data center and uses little power."
"The speed of the Pure FlashArray is very, very fast and nothing in the market can compare to it."
"Technical support is excellent. I've had very good responses from technical support. We had a couple of cases where we needed support. Some of the communications were purely over email and some has been an actual call to the service desk."
"We are very happy with the data deduplication and compression ratio that we have on the platform."
"The product cheaper compared to other solutions concerning the technology that they are using."
"Pure Storage is extremely reliable — it's never failed."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"It has improved our backup and recovery window, because you can have two Reduxio machines linked up, so every block that changes on the primary storage array gets replicated to the secondary storage array. If one side or the other goes bad, you just recover from the other side."
"Ease of use, time to market and scalability are all advantages. We can install new software and new applications in no time. That means we don't need buy a new shelf or new disks, just create a virtual machine and the system does everything behind the scenes."
"One of the beautiful parts about it is the whole user interface. It's almost too simple. As an IT professional, you think, "Where are the works, how am I assured that this is actually protecting my data?" The ease of use in terms of deployment, and also the metrics that it feeds back to you are also among the many attractive features of the whole platform."
"We are enjoying a quantum leap in speed, reliability, and available space with this system."
"Most storage arrays when you buy them, they call it a "forklift upgrade," where a forklift comes in there and pulls out the old storage, and brings in a new storage. But with Reduxio, it can use all your old storage arrays, whether they're NetApp, or IBM, or EMC, or HPE, as targets for doing backups."
"Takes advantage of deduplication and compression through as much of the content of VMs which are similar."
"Instant recovery through its continuous data protection."
"The down-to-the-second restore capability, native to the device is a valuable feature."
"The number of Filesystems is limited, which it is not on the EMC VNX."
"The price could be better."
"The file functionality could be better."
"It needs to improve its price."
"It would be nice to have a better view of the allocated capacity on their Platform as a Service solution because we have to do some manual calculations to understand how much we are going to pay every month to use the storage that is allocated."
"We would like more extended historical data to help with some of the capacity planning. This is something that we are asking for all the time. E.g., what was the historical performance of this particular volume? So, we would like more historicals."
"I would like some form of QoS implemented. As a service provider, it would be beneficial to have it."
"I would rate this solution an eight because we have had outages. The commit times went very high in the database. The whole array went down so our customers were down for around eight hours. This was a very big outage which could have been our fault because we didn't do the upgrade in time."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"I would love an iPhone app to monitor my system from outside the firewall."
"Integration is needed with other virtual vendors like VMware, Veeam, Hyper-V; that integration needs to be deeper, not just the way that they're using it now. I know that it's under development, but I think this is one of the disadvantages, for now, as a young company. They have to work with the other players on the market."
"The only critique that we have is it needs the ability to have local users added. You have to log in as one built-in admin account. You can't create your own."
"Would love to have role-based access and an active directory integration."
"The only thing that I would point out would be the basic administration management of the machine. Everything has rights, meaning that there's either all control or no delegated control. So to sum that up, it would be a feature request for delegated management in the administrative console."
"It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN."
"We had a single failure of the device but believe that it was tied to the server losing contact with our NTP server due to DNS issues. As Reduxio is very time-dependent, losing sync made the entire array unstable."
"I am waiting on a feature set in the new version which should allow me to replicate between Reduxio iSCSI SANs for disaster recovery and also to 3rd party iSCSI SANs which are cheaper for an archive or DR target."
