"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"This product has good performance."
"The most valuable feature is that maintenance is free."
"The stability and performance are the best things about the solution."
"The solution is very reliable."
"Redundancy and the fault tolerance of the platform are the most impressive."
"We have tons of capacity on it."
"We've been using FlashArray's snapshot for backups. Their replication across sites and response time are also excellent."
"We were actually able to do multiple upgrades, including head upgrades and moving between the platforms, M20 and M50, over the years. We have never once lost a ping and have never had an outage due to an OS upgrade or a complete head upgrade."
"I like its speed. It has all the features that I need."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
"What it needs to do is work a little closer with solutions, like VMware, so it understands the particular workloads that are on it. Today, it does not understand the applications which are running against it."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"A minor issue that comes to mind is that, every once in a while, a hard drive will go bad."
"It needs to improve its price."
"In some cases, we get into very in-depth conversations around movement of specific data and, what's more, chunk sizes. The documentation lacked any description or information on that."
"There's always an opportunity for new feature functionality."
"The 3PAR SSD arrays that we have are still failing a lot so even though we're under warranty, we still have to get someone out and usually have someone troubleshoot so that usually adds onto the cost. With Pure, we've had a disc fail and we pop it out and you pop it in and it's good to go."
"It would be nice to have a better view of the allocated capacity on their Platform as a Service solution because we have to do some manual calculations to understand how much we are going to pay every month to use the storage that is allocated."
