Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."We also use VMware integrations developed by Pure, their plugins in our vCenter environment. They help by allowing our non-technical operations teams to deploy new data stores and resize data stores without me having to involve myself all the time to do those simple tasks."
"The product cheaper compared to other solutions concerning the technology that they are using."
"Has also helped simplify storage for us. The other person we put in there, took about a week to implement. And we had both arrays set up within around four hours with a thirty minute drive time between the two locations."
"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."
"We can store more for a cheaper price as opposed to paying for larger devices and larger rack spaces which get outdated sooner and which we'd have to change every two years.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 speed is one of the most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray."
"It worked flawlessly."
"The most valuable feature is its data reduction."
"The most crucial feature of IBM FlashSystem is compression."
"The most valuable feature is that is supports a high IOPS rate."
"At the FlashSystem level, customers are especially fond of multi-tier and distributed rate systems, particularly the dynamic rate six arrays."
"Stability-wise, this solution is fine."
"It's a mature product. It's like a BMW that evolves consistently."
"The most valuable feature is reliability."
"The valuable features are high availability, compression, and a failover mechanism. It's a very highly available storage solution."
"I like most of the features. Its speed, performance, and availability are valuable. We are implementing the data reduction technology the most."
"It's actually shaking hands with the workflow solutions much better than any other storage."
"I would like the ability to swap out the network adapters into it. So, without taking out the whole controller, I would like to be able to swap adapters. This would make things easier."
"The primary drawback is the cost, which can be prohibitive for small configurations."
"I had to contact customer support when a drive failed as I was doing a couple of OS upgrades."
"The solution could improve by having a multi-tenant feature."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see automated copy data management for SQL Server."
"Most of our upgrades have not been as smooth as they should have been."
"Having something native in the Pure Storage ecosystem would make it integrated and in one single company, and we wouldn't have to work with multiple organizations."
"We would like to integrate it more with our backup solutions."
"The solution's pricing is a bit high so there is room for improvement."
"The solution is not easy to use and could improve."
"Enterprise data storage needs improvement. They should create a feature for data and file storage."
"It could be easier to implement."
"I have looked at a few pages of a report I download and I saw a graph there regarding software-defined vendors. IBM is not in a good position on this graph. I know that they are working very hard on this, to make it much better and to get to a level where it's not only hardware but also software to provide a complete solution."
"We had issues when attempting to do a flash, we hope to resolve it soon."
"I think the only thing the developers can look at, is that it is limited to 25 gigabytes currently. In the next release they might want to increase that."
"Their technical support needs improvement in terms of reachability for the clients and response times. They should be more responsive and have more online platforms for support. They should make more technical information available online. There could be some kind of documentation community."
"It has to be flexible according to the customer's requirements. It has to be aligned with the customer business and the business environment."
