Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The first set up we had was really straight forward and simple."
"It is an SSD array that has awesome performance, low submillisecond latency, and does what it is supposed to do. It just works, which is difficult for things to do anymore."
"The most valuable feature of the Pure Storage Flash Array is the blazing fast monitoring."
"The security operating system is its most valuable feature because it's very simple, easy to use, and operate. You don't have to do very serious training to operate this equipment. It's user-friendly and pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is the all-flash storage performance, low latency, and efficiency of their de-duplication technology. Additionally, the ease of use is good compared to other storage systems. The features in data protection, snapshotting, and replication between data centers and sites are superior to other solutions."
"The solution helps to simplify storage."
"The GUI is very easy to use and intuitive."
"It simplifies storage."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"Overall performance of the solution."
"We can add a node, we add compute, we add storage, and we've had really good luck with that."
"If we get complaints about any kind of performance metric issues, whether it's storage related or something on the virtual side, we use it to pinpoint what the actual issue is."
"It's got full API functionality and the performance is pretty steady."
"The dashboard is such that you don't need to be a storage expert to administer it."
"If you buy the solution for its specific purpose it will work well."
"The scalability and being able to implement it quickly."
"We can just buy them, scale them as we need on demand, and we don't have to spend so many front end cycles on designing the architecture."
"We would like to see more development on their Copy Automation Tool (CAT) for Oracle, as well as better integration for our customers running Oracle VM."
"Storage. There could be better storage."
"Pure Storage support could be a little better."
"I would like to see more detailed reporting on the data. However, it would be nice to know what are the exact VMs usage after deduplication and/or what that VMs actual latency and bandwidth is, outside of VMware."
"I would like to see active replication. I know that it's available now but I haven't tried it yet. I hope that it works."
"The file functionality could be better."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"They should work on their upgrades, they're not smooth."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"The inclusion of more protocols and interfaces would make it easier to integrate with other products."
"This solution would be improved if it were made to be more compatible with other products."
"For example, the ease of use with the reporting. Right now it's not impossible, but you have to know Sequel. It's a little time consuming to get those customized reports in there."
"The tool should improve its initial cost which is expensive compared to other products."
"It's a very good Windows-type solution. But we do a lot of legacy systems and the like. So it's getting that incorporated into it that would help us."
"I think there is room for improvement needed with its storage capability. A bigger node is needed."
"The upgrade process could be better."
"The scalability of HCI or SolidFire as such isn't a concern, but when you compare it to PowerMax or NetApp AFF series devices, scalability is a concern because it's only the drives that are connected to the nodes. We don't have any shelf connectivity."
