"The most valuable features are the replication of data and the continuous snapshot that we can take from the disc."

"The setup was very, very simple. When we got our AF5000, no kidding, we had it up in production within two hours"
"The management software that runs in the cloud is called InfoSight and it is very good. It is similar to machine learning software that monitors your hardware."
"Some of the beneficial features I have found are the Block-level backups, the interface is easy to use, backups work well and the portal is functional."
"InfoSight has helped us resolved an issue where the snapshots were growing too big."
"It's very stable and fast, and I am very happy with the deduplication. It saves a lot of space, which is great."
"Any updates are just part of your subscription, so you don't have to buy add-ons for new features. You're continually adding value to it."
"We use a platform as a service and have multiple application vendors who comprise that platform. There are moments when those application vendors put the blame on us. By working in InfoSight, I am able to say, "No, it is not us." I can actually provide proof, either by using screenshots or through reporting."
"It's actually shaking hands with the workflow solutions much better than any other storage."

"The time-to-market could be better at times, but I think that's true for all vendors of hardware."
"The price could be better."
"If they could make it cheaper, that would be something."
"Pure Storage will have issues with positioning in the near future since its a relatively new company. For now, customers need a PoC to trust using the solution, as it can't stand on its brand name alone. They need to improve Pure Storage's marketing."
"I recognize it's a difficult challenge, but I would like to see them make the pricing more reasonable."
"It is a bit expensive."
"It goes at about 95 percent, so we have had some performance issues. It is hard to clear them."
"Scalability, in terms of being able to scale out, is not easy and should be improved."
"HPE does not have suffficient storage."
"HPE Nimble Storage's cost is very high, making it one of its downsides."
"I would like to see more advanced analytics in the next release of this solution."
"A feature that would be a nice addition to the next release would be a filer option. A filer option so that you could connect the sim or NFS or chips like NetApp does for NAS functionality."
"The only thing that I can really compare Nimble to is all-flash because, right now, Nimble is a hybrid solution. I would like to see them come out with an all-flash alternative."
"We would like there to be more enhanced features."
"The solution that I have is a hybrid, not a full flash. The hybrid version could be improved."
"It has to be flexible according to the customer's requirements. It has to be aligned with the customer business and the business environment."
