"It allows engineers to focus on other things rather than doing the more manual tasks. It automates tasks, so the ease of use is extreme. It simplifies the storage."
"Non-disruptive upgrades: You can upgrade at anytime without worry."
"Cost, racial per terabyte, and speed is why we chose PureStorage. It was no brainer."
"Pure Storage technology allowed us to automate tasks, reducing something which started as a 12-hour turnaround down to about 15 minutes."
"The availability and ease of use are the big features."
"Performance, dedupe, and that it works well with database workloads are its most valuable features."
"The performance is very good."

"The product is stable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"HPE Primera is scalable."
"HPE provides good support through their customer service."
"HPE Primera has good integration. All the users are using HP servers and some systems, such as Synergy, which integrate well into the solution."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of deployment."
"The most valuable features are the five chips architecture and the purpose-built NVMe hard disk drive. Additionally, the IOPS feature is good."
"The product has the best compression and encryption features. The most valuable features I have found in the tool are its performance and cost-effectiveness. While Huawei OceanStor Dorado may not always be chosen for its features compared to other brands like Dell, HPE, etc., it is often selected due to its affordability. Customers opt for Huawei OceanStor Dorado primarily because it offers similar performance features as other brands at a lower cost."

"The way Pure Storage does the controller storage warranty or replacement has been an issue for some people who just replace the controllers every couple of years, and that's where some of the confusion with pricing and support has come in. They should be clear on the way the controller replacements happen, as it is important to know whether or not you can get a good return on them, because it can be a little confusing."
"Going forward, don't complicate things for the customers."
"The one major gripe I have is that there is no snapshotting enabled by default on the SAN."
"The setup needs to be improved the most. They can do a little more with the user interface, but the setup is what I would like to see made a bit easier."
"Just some nit picky stuff, like allowing servers and volumes to be grouped. Therefore, it would easier to work with them in the GUI."
"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."
"The time-to-market could be better at times, but I think that's true for all vendors of hardware."
"Increasing the IOPS and throughput values would make the product even better. Improving the scalability of HPE Primera is also recommended."
"Price is always important in Turkey, so HPE could lower the price to keep it competitive. It's not as competitive as other solutions in this market."
"The price of the product is an area of concern. From an improvement perspective, the solution should be made more affordable in terms of price."
"There really isn't any aspect of the solution that needs improvement for the customer other than its price."

"This solution does not support VMware VVols 2.0."
"The data compression and deduplication ratio of Huawei OceanStor Dorado is not as good as other solutions, such as EMC and Pure Storage. It is important when looking at capacity effectiveness."
"Difficult integration with third parties."
"There could be local support services available for the platform. Additionally, they should provide a bundled license, including all protection and encryption rules."
"I would like to see them improve their IOPS per second to match their contemporaries in the industry."
"I would really like to see Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization in a future release."
