"Pure Storage is extremely reliable — it's never failed."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is its high stability level."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most comfortable pricing, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"It allows engineers to focus on other things rather than doing the more manual tasks. It automates tasks, so the ease of use is extreme. It simplifies the storage."
"Pure Storage FlashArray's overall speed is its most valuable feature."
"It is an easy to use product for all of my team members."
"It simplifies the overall management. We don't have to worry about storage anymore."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"This has been one of the most reliable storage systems that I have ever used."
"The solution is useful for machine learning and scientific applications, including computer simulations."
"The number of Filesystems is limited, which it is not on the EMC VNX."
"Beyond a certain amount of petabytes, you have to have a separate system. Basically, it's not infinitely scalable."
"The support for NFS protocols right out-of-the-box need improvement. I'm used to other storage vendors who have NFS support right out-of-the-box, and Pure Storage doesn't seem to have anything."
"The only time that we had problems with it was that there was a bug in the VVol implementation but, outside of that, it has been flawless."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve in the area of cryptographic information in the consoles. The user-friendliness could improve. The Pure Storage FlashArray team should come and log into the system with their maintenance credentials and then pull out the information as evidence of cryptography."
"The data reduction that we had initially anticipated when we bought Pure and we move over, is way lower than the expected reduction. It depends on the workloads, of course. But that has been a challenge at times."
"It was not proactive communication."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see automated copy data management for SQL Server."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"The write performance could be improved because it is less than half of the read performance."
"The read/write ratio is an area in the solution with some flaws and needs improvement."
