Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are simplicity, ease of use, and dashboard management."
"Having fast storage allows actual servers to perform in high capacity so we don't have slowdowns on our applications."
"The best feature is consistently lower latency, even when IOPS crank up to over 75K. The product maintains submillisecond response time, which is incredible."
"The most valuable feature is how it simplifies the management of the SAN."
"It's simple, powerful, and ready to use."
"We can store more for a cheaper price as opposed to paying for larger devices and larger rack spaces which get outdated sooner and which we'd have to change every two years. It simplifies storage for us."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is its high stability level."
"The tool is simple and easy to use. It has neat features like protection from device removal. Moreover, you can undo the deletes. The solution is easy to work with and not as complicated as CAC"
"It has allowed us to upgrade our DMS to the latest version and reuse the older array as the DR storage for VMware SRM."
"Nimble's phone-home capability is decent. The compression, dedupe, and caching are also solid. Generally, I like the simplicity. It's almost a set-and-forget solution."
"HPE Nimble Storage is quick to release updates that fix bugs or problems and the failover has been good."
"The interaction with VMware is most valuable."
"It is easy to use. Not too complicated."
"HPE Nimble Storage uses the InfoSight platform and it is useful because we can identify the faults and can analyze the performance. It has many other features. This feature is the best that I have observed from HPE Nimble Storage."
"The solution's uptime is fantastic. It's 100 percent. In addition, Nimble's storage capacity efficiency is very effective."
"It's very easy to set up. It's very stable, and it has got great deduplication, especially for hypervisor users."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"This product has good performance."
"It's too early to tell if we've seen a reduction in total cost of ownership. The solution is expensive."
"We would like to integrate it more with our backup solutions."
"I would like to see more cloud integration."
"Automation could be simplified."
"There's always an opportunity for new feature functionality."
"I would rate this solution an eight. To make it a ten it would have to be a little cheaper."
"Just some nit picky stuff, like allowing servers and volumes to be grouped. Therefore, it would easier to work with them in the GUI."
"They have a product, FlashBlade, which is their object storage integration, and that's something that we haven't integrated with yet. This might be an area for additional focus as it would play into scalability, because the very nature of object storage is that it's infinitely scalable."
"The quality of technical support depends on which member of the support team you speak with."
"You could argue that it would be preferable if everything were cheaper in order to save taxpayer money."
"The scalability could be better."
"It would be ideal if all these enterprise-class high-performance products would come at a cheaper price."
"I would like deduplication by default on all the volumes. I still don't understand (or know why) dedupe isn't enabled for the templates out-of-the-box. We have to go in and manually enable it each and every time."
"We are doing a hybrid and are moving some machines to Microsoft Azure to run in hybrid mode. We are checking the availability of extra software-defined storage so that we can configure it."
"More reporting is probably the only thing that is really lacking. It would be helpful to go to the business and say, "This is how we've evolved with our solution, and this is why we need more." Being able to put forward a business case with data to back it up, essentially."
"The solution could reduce its price."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
