Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The solution helps to simplify storage."
"We've been using FlashArray's snapshot for backups. Their replication across sites and response time are also excellent."
"It has been very stable. I have not seen or heard of downtime storage issues after moving over to it."
"The simplicity of it. The performance is good, but the simplicity is the best thing. Storage management is quite complex, but Pure Storage is easy to manage."
"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"
"The ease of management is one of the most valuable features of this solution. I would have also said that it's pretty fast but now our SQL servers are starting to beat it up pretty bad."
"The predictive performance analytics are good."
"This is the best all-flash storage array on the market."
"It is a very stable product. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten because we did not face any issues in the last three years."
"What I like about the product are its high availability, maximum efficiency in performance, and its ability to handle a high level of I/O operations."
"The storage serves the virtual environment. Most of our applications run in the virtual environment, and it serves nearly 30% of the bank's capacity."
"The high performance and high availability improved our overall processes."
"IBM FlashSystem provides the same software on each box, including virtualized solutions."
"Its ease of use, performance, and hardware compression is very useful feature."
"Good performance with a user-friendly UI."
"IBM FlashSystem 9100 NVMe is easy to use and comes with good performance."
"It's actually shaking hands with the workflow solutions much better than any other storage."
"The GUI could improve, it could be more intuitive. There is hidden functionality."
"I would like to have support available in Spanish."
"It is a bit expensive."
"The price of this solution could be improved."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve the recent file storage capabilities because it is lacking a lot of features."
"The solution is not cheap."
"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."
"I would like to get a weekly report of how our storage has been used, and if there is any storage sitting there not being used."
"The solution's compression feature could be better."
"The storage system itself should have built-in capabilities for different ransomware attacks."
"Other vendors have included a block and file system. IBM doesn't include a file system. And yet, it's very necessary for all organizations' networks to have file systems. We have other systems for the file system, however, ideally, we would like to have one system with these features."
"I would like to have replication functionality built directly in the product, rather than having to use a separate device for this."
"IBM FlashSystem 9100 NVMe is currently at the end of its lifespan and will soon become obsolete in the markets."
"The support could be better."
"I'd like to be able to connect to tape drives behind the storage device to back up the tape if need be. We have all of our storage running in all-flash, and we make a copy on tape. Currently, when we want to hook up tape drives, we have to add some extra equipment, which is a little bit complex. We want IBM to add a feature where we could install a tape into the storage so that we can connect it through a single pane of glass. We'd like to have a feature in the IBM flash storage system so that we can connect backup tape drives through the IBM storage system and we can manage the backup tape from the storage system."
"IBM is currently not offering volume-based encryption or compression, while other brands or IBM's competitors are doing it."
"It has to be flexible according to the customer's requirements. It has to be aligned with the customer business and the business environment."
