Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."I like the speed, and I like the API and how programmable it is."
"Performance is the most valuable feature."
"It has good stability for our company."
"Pure Storage FlashArray's overall speed is its most valuable feature."
"It comes with a large number of features out-of-the-box, which makes it easy for us to see problems and manage capacity."
"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 performance and the ever-growing maintenance are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The amount of throughput that we're getting is really nice."
"The product offers high stability."
"The valuable features for data management include deduplication and compression without performance impact, and the ability to virtualize old storage, making migration seamless."
"The most valuable feature is that it has 'eight nines' availability, 99.999999 percent of the time. That is the main selling point."
"The biggest benefit of the Hitachi platform is 100 percent storage uptime. It's also highly cost-effective."
"The hybrid array provides scaleable, predictable, high performance with no capacity constraints."
"The performance is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is the platform and overall usage has been good. We have not had very many issues."
"The high performance of flash storage is especially valuable to us."
"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."
"It goes at about 95 percent, so we have had some performance issues. It is hard to clear them."
"It would be nice if Pure had something in its portfolio that provided higher deduplication and compression for backups."
"Its price could be cheaper. It is not the cheapest one out there, but I'm not directly involved in the figures and negotiations."
"The credentials on the iSCSI interface are only available to type in with the Chrome browser, and not with the Firefox browser."
"They should work on their upgrades, they're not smooth."
"A three wave application or multi wave application synchronization would be an improvement."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"There are scenarios with very specific functionality around VMware integration particularly to do with the way we'd like to manage LUNs in VMware. The tools are pretty good but there's room for improvement there."
"n future releases, I would like to see enhancements in the web GUI capabilities for direct management without additional PCM."
"At the moment, I don't see any room for improvement in Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series because my experience with the product is very good. The software is okay and you can manage the storage well. What I'd like to see in the next release of Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is for it to be a real NAS solution because right now, you need to use a Hitachi converter called HNAS which makes the process a little bit more expensive. In my opinion, Hitachi should look into the possibility of unifying the HNAS into full storage, meaning that the HNAS should be integrated into the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series."
"We moved away from this product because we were looking for an all-flash solution, and with our G1500 at the time, perhaps two years ago, they were just proposing more of the same technology."
"This product should be easier to install and set up."
"Hitachi should offer a distinct overview of the various storage choices."
"I would like the fan noise to be automatically adjusted based on the drive's current workload."
"The solution is stable. However, there have been some software crashes where we had to restart the system. They could improve the hardware to prevent this type of issue."
"Its usability can be improved. It can have more management features. Its management tools lack features."
"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."
