Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The code upgrades are very smooth."
"This is the best all-flash storage array on the market."
"The most valuable feature is test performance. It helps us store large amounts of data along with providing us faster retrieval of data."
"They have really good baked in analytics to show you trends for growth history, so it does help with future planning for data growth."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is its high stability level."
"The stability is perfect. The reliability is 100% and the latency is always lower than 1 millisecond."
"The performance of the storage is just unbelievable."
"With Pure Storage, we don't see any latency or IOPS. It has been a very seamless integration."
"It is a really stable product. We have not had any major issues at the moment."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features for me are the simple management of the platform and its performance."
"The solution has improved our throughput by helping us keep up with the demand and acquisitions that we have been going through."
"With our 3PARs, we have never lost data."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ is easy to use, fully featured and has a great graphical user interface."
"It is a rugged, performance system; it is trouble-free and a workhorse."
"The stability is what we consider to be the best feature it provides. The stability of this solution is what conquers us, every day."
"The Global Copy and Global Mirror features are the solution's most valuable aspects."
"The high throughput feature is the most powerful thing in this product."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"It is not possible to create a cluster on top of multiple arrays."
"This product has only two active controllers, whereas other solutions can have more. This is something that needs to improve."
"They should work on their upgrades, they're not smooth."
"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."
"We haven't seen ROI yet."
"I would like to see the NAS add-on component become more fault-tolerant than just a single virtual machine running inside the array. I'm unwilling to use it for that reason."
"3PAR has StoreOnce and replication. I would like it if they worked together. Or, if I had Nimble and put that either in DR or a primary cohesive management, but still use the cool features of 3PAR, that would be awesome."
"This solution is now at end-of-life."
"I would like to have single click upgrades because the process is cumbersome right now."
"In the next release, I would like them to make it a little easier to find where everything is in the new console. It now has the OneView look and sometimes I don't think the OneView look is enough. It's too different from the original console that was a separate system."
"I would like to see a little bit more integration from a cloud perspective. In this way, I would have some more flexibility to do more with data, how to store it, and where I have it."
"The first array that they sent us was in some type of a factory mode. We didn't find that out until we loaded a bunch of data onto it, then we had to back it all off. We had to replace the array, which was sort of painful."
"The engagement of the tool's vendor is costly."
"The replicating software is pretty complicated. I probably would have put it on a sequence."
"The GUI isn't as user-friendly as other options."
"The solution should embedded replication switches into the hardware instead of using them externally."
