Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The reliability is very good."
"I use all the features of this solution and I find them to be easy to use and functional, such as the compression and capacity to expand."
"We've been using FlashArray's snapshot for backups. Their replication across sites and response time are also excellent."
"The stability is perfect. The reliability is 100% and the latency is always lower than 1 millisecond."
"It has improved my organization because now have lower latency, we get fewer complaints from customers, and we see a constant response time."
"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."
"The GUI is very easy to use and intuitive."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most comfortable pricing, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The solution works well for non-critical applications that do not require a heavy workload. The tool's all features are valuable."
"This is a stable storage system."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Huawei OceanStor is easy to manage."
"The performance and ease of management are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei OceanStor is the hybrid applications."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in the rail, as it is hybrid storage."
"Huawei OceanStor is a good product. Its interface is very simple. The complexities we encounter with recovery points are gone. We just attach to remote storage, click the application, and it starts."
"It’s simple to use hardware to fix performance issues. Our issue is poor coding/queries. This greatly speeded things up. It’s too costly to track down poor programming in applications. The price of a developer’s time to scan through all the coding is high compared to buying Violin."
"VIOLIN QV2020 is the latest in terms of performance. It has high-speed data access and processing capabilities, distinguishing it as a leader in its storage solutions category."
"In the next release I would like to see integration into other third-party player providers like Google."
"I had to contact customer support when a drive failed as I was doing a couple of OS upgrades."
"We need to add more storage in Pure Storage FlashArray with the cluster mode activated for us to have better performance."
"I would like to see more cloud integration."
"I want to learn more about command line usage which I have not explored much yet. However, there are many automated solutions for repetitive tasks. I would like to see additional features like performance monitoring, configuring of alerts, and the customization of alert thresholds in the next release."
"The connectivity needs improvement. You do not have the possibility to have a file and block connectivity at the same time on the same machine. It has limited ability to do so."
"The one major gripe I have is that there is no snapshotting enabled by default on the SAN."
"Pure Storage support could be a little better."
"Integration with mainstream solution technologies could be better."
"I would like to see more integration features with different platforms."
"The deployment took a little longer."
"The duration of the built-in snapshot technology must be improved."
"The overall price of the solution should be reduced."
"We did experience a little latency with this solution."
"The solution needs to improve the compression side of the application."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"I set up Wi-Fi for storage, and since then, we haven't experienced any interruptions in service."
"VIMM replacement is poorly designed. You have to slide out an entire drawer, remove the cover and then pop out the failed VIMM. I would like to see a front replacement just like with hard disks. This leaves room for error; for example, when you slide it out from the rack, you are moving cables along the cable management arm. This leaves the possibility of accidentally unplugging a cable from the array if it is not seated properly. Also, you might pinch the cables when sliding it back into the server rack."
