Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The management is simple in Pure Storage FlashArray."
"It reduces space and the polar consumption. It also accelerates the application."
"This solution has helped my organization by cutting down on provisioning time. I used to have to provision a VM and it would take ten minutes. Now, it takes thirty seconds."
"The most valuable features in Pure Storage FlashArray are deduplication and active cluster."
"The most valuable feature is replication."
"We were actually able to do multiple upgrades, including head upgrades and moving between the platforms, M20 and M50, over the years. We have never once lost a ping and have never had an outage due to an OS upgrade or a complete head upgrade."
"Very efficient storage"
"The code upgrades are very smooth."
"I am happy about the storage system and availability."
"The most valuable feature is that it has 'eight nines' availability, 99.999999 percent of the time. That is the main selling point."
"The most valuable features in Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F Series are Shadowimage, easy to manage equipment, and upgrading the firewire is very simple."
"The most valuable features are external storage virtualization and the 100 percent data guaranteed availability."
"The technical support is great."
"One of the features, for us, that is important is the monitoring platform integrated into the solution. It has all the elements that we need to see, at all times, to be sure the platform is working right."
"The Hitachi VSP has significantly improved data storage scalability by addressing various issues. Through their research and development efforts, they've incorporated customer feedback regarding deployment speed and performance requirements."
"It's a state of the art solution in storage systems. High-availability and performance are the strongest aspects of these machines."
"The tool's notable feature is that we don't need to log a case directly with the vendor. The tool has access to all the logs on-premises. This is an on-premises solution. Additionally, we can provision data as thick or thin provisioned. Moreover, it includes data grid duplication and compression features."
"It offers rich features and high speed for transferring data."
"The price of this solution could be improved."
"If we suddenly dump large amounts of data onto the storage system, it takes a while to process it."
"I would like to migrate to the cloud in the future and know how that would actually work with this product."
"I would like to have support available in Spanish."
"I would like some performance analytics which go deeper than today. It should be specific to some hosts and applications. This would be good."
"There are a lot of things to improve."
"From a scalability perspective, it is a very small storage solution, so it's not very expandable."
"The 3PAR SSD arrays that we have are still failing a lot so even though we're under warranty, we still have to get someone out and usually have someone troubleshoot so that usually adds onto the cost. With Pure, we've had a disc fail and we pop it out and you pop it in and it's good to go."
"The interface should be simplified and made easier to use."
"Hitachi Vantara has invested heavily in improving their management interface, however, they still have a way to go to catch up with many of their competitors."
"It seemed like every time we turned around it was a statement of work and we'd have to pay for something that our previous vendors would not have billed us for."
"The initial deployment was somewhat complex when it came to the installation because of the network connectivity. It was more difficult, in this specific case, than with other platforms."
"In terms of ransomware, Pure Storage is probably a couple of steps ahead of Hitachi, but Hitachi does not rush in terms of features. They want to be really sure that the hardware works properly without any kind of problem in new environments, and the implementation or improvement does not affect the customer installation. They really want to make sure that customers are not affected in any way."
"The life-cycle of the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is too short. We only had approximately four or five years out of the solution before it was rendered its end of life."
"The software has always been lagging a bit compared to the newer features. It usually takes a cycle for it to catch up."
"In terms of new features, I would be interested to see deduplication added in their next release."
"It would be better if there were an option to incorporate the NVMe feature alongside other storage tiers. Currently, the system operates on Autotier but can manually peer and mix different types of drives, such as SAS and SATA drives."
"We had some issues while installing it on our servers. It required more resources while cross-checking. So, the initial setup process could be better."
