We performed a comparison between Kaminario K2 [EOL] and Reduxio [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Performance is the most valuable feature."
"It has made working with storage as easy and simple as it should be."
"This is the best all-flash storage array on the market."
"It upgrades in place which means we'll be using it well into the future."
"The amount of data that I have moved to it from legacy storage has enabled us to retire units that are three or four times the physical size."
"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."
"My rating of Pure Storage is a ten out of ten because of the price for performance and footprint - the overall value."
"It's reduced our overhead management time on storage, since it is so simple to get in and just provision a volume, present it to the host, and then you are done."
"Built-in snapshot support gives us SAN-side functionality most other platforms would have had us license separately."
"Data reduction and snapshot abilities: Smaller footprint in the datacenter (lower cost for power, cooling, etc.)."
"Scale out is a differentiator for them, especially in the enterprise market. It's key for a lot of customers."
"The capacity that we're saving by using Kaminario's K2 is giving us a four-to-one ratio for our deduplication."
"It provides a full feature set without separate licensing (deduplication, compression, snapshot, asynchronous replication, stable performance, etc.)."
"Inline compression"
"Logic/software management"
"The increased performance is many times above our previous array performance in all metrics. Integration with vSphere features is also a definite plus."
"The machine installed without difficulty."
"In terms of deployment and also data storage, the deduplication ability of it has reduced that footprint."
"The HTML5 UI is clean, easy to navigate, and very intuitive."
"In terms of ease of use, the GUI is quite amazing and seems to be taken from a computer game. Literally within 30 minutes, we had learned almost everything there is on the management UI and started managing the device."
"By using the BackDating option we can restore volumes based on time. It also reduces volumes and maintenance time."
"Improves the response of the VMs by having the most used portions on the flashcache."
"I like the Reduxio TimeOS, specifically. That feature's pretty good. I haven't seen it in any other product. They're the only ones who have it."
"Ease of use, time to market and scalability are all advantages. We can install new software and new applications in no time. That means we don't need buy a new shelf or new disks, just create a virtual machine and the system does everything behind the scenes."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve by being more secure."
"It would be nice if Pure had something in its portfolio that provided higher deduplication and compression for backups."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve in the area of cryptographic information in the consoles. The user-friendliness could improve. The Pure Storage FlashArray team should come and log into the system with their maintenance credentials and then pull out the information as evidence of cryptography."
"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."
"We would like more extended historical data to help with some of the capacity planning. This is something that we are asking for all the time. E.g., what was the historical performance of this particular volume? So, we would like more historicals."
"The one major gripe I have is that there is no snapshotting enabled by default on the SAN."
"There are scenarios with very specific functionality around VMware integration particularly to do with the way we'd like to manage LUNs in VMware. The tools are pretty good but there's room for improvement there."
"I would love to see capacity on its DRAM. I know it's not cost effective for them to do it, but I think that it could be a big differentiator and was a big differentiator from the beginning."
"Improved scale and budget planning with flexibility of the solution for budget needs and efficiency for growth with the great optimization ratio due to the nature of our use."
"The management graphical interface needs more improvement."
"I would like to see them work with Cisco, so it comes off the FIs, instead of having to go through my 10-gig network."
"I think it should have better performance with small files. With big data, its performance is top notch, but it is difficult to load small files."
"Some of the nice to haves for us, in terms of today, would be VVols but again, it’s not a critical feature."
"A single pane of glass to monitor/manage multiple arrays would be helpful."
"I would like them to improve the look of the product’s external casing and shelves."
"They're trying to do this, but they need to show more what their growth plan is, the development, what the next steps are, the future."
"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."
"I am waiting for the vSphere Plug-In with individual VM level control."
"Scalability is a little unusual. We came from the NetApp world where, if you needed more disk space, you just added more drives into the chassis, whereas with Reduxio, if you need more disk space, you have to buy a new chassis."
"Needs to be made easier to use with slightly older versions of VMware."
"Needs some hooks into cloud storage for backup. Also they should update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource."
"The only critique that we have is it needs the ability to have local users added. You have to log in as one built-in admin account. You can't create your own."
"The only thing that I would point out would be the basic administration management of the machine. Everything has rights, meaning that there's either all control or no delegated control. So to sum that up, it would be a feature request for delegated management in the administrative console."
