We performed a comparison between NetApp AFF 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."The availability and ease of use are the big features."
"The predictive performance analytics is a very good feature, as our system is performing better than before."
"Data deduplication features make it easier to manage storage and forecast growth."
"The predictive performance analytics are good."
"It is pretty much just plug and play. There is not that much to do with it. It is very easy to use."
"The back-end data reporting for Pure Storage is phenomenal. The data that you can see on the performance of your customers' array, so you can be proactive about upgrades or enhancements, and is a phenomenal tool to have access to as a partner. I haven't seen this type of stuff out of anything of the other storage systems."
"It has improved my organization because now have lower latency, we get fewer complaints from customers, and we see a constant response time."
"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 file-based protocol supports NFS and CIFS."
"Other manufacturers claim simplicity. In fact, frankly, they do have an advantage in that regard, however, they don't have the functionality. If you were to compare one of those products to NetApp, head to head from a feature perspective, NetApp would wind up in the top 10."
"When we move to all-flash, our response times were reduced to microseconds."
"This solution makes everything a lot faster. The time to move data around, boot and migrate VMs is much faster."
"Performance is excellent. In fact, it's so fast that we're not really even taxing it all that much."
"The ease of use for setting up our basic shares such as NFS and CIFS is valuable. It takes a couple of clicks to set up things like object shares."
"If you need a replacement part, they will provide it."
"The Active IQ feature is a productive mechanism that automatically collects reports and users' statuses."
"Write latency is averaging way under a millisecond."
"The BackDating feature which allows us to go back to any point in the past at one second granularity, is an amazing feature and allows us to recover from any mishap to our data – whether it's a malware attack, an application error or a human error. We have never seen this capability in any other storage product."
"The ability to target existing remote storage with NoRestore is going to allow us to leverage existing storage without an increased financial investment."
"Flexibility and frequency of restore points: allow me to economically customize the range of time for data restoration, according to the varying sensitivities of each type of data."
"The machine installed without difficulty."
"The down-to-the-second restore capability, native to the device is a valuable feature."
"Enables multiple hosts access to the virtual machines by providing for moving VMs due to maintenance or host failure."
"Reduxio offers a very simple, elegant user interface (design) to manage it."
"In the configuration, which we brought in or tested it in, it has a very limited config as far as the array goes. That said, it still did more than our anticipation."
"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."
"It was not proactive communication."
"I would rate this solution an eight. There's always room for improvement, nobody is perfect to get a ten out of ten. They do what they do well. It's not cheap but we it's for uses that we needed."
"The support for NFS protocols right out-of-the-box need improvement. I'm used to other storage vendors who have NFS support right out-of-the-box, and Pure Storage doesn't seem to have anything."
"On a couple of occasions, the waiting time for an upgrade has been pretty substantial."
"We would like to be able to connect to data tape for backup, specifically to the LTO backups."
"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."
"It's a little behind on security. It's starting to get into multi-factor authentication, they just started to introduce it but not for all products."
"When comparing with Pure for example, with Pure you have no maintenance anymore and with NetApp, you still need maintenance."
"When you look at the competitors, they have some features available, for example on the deduplication side."
"To enhance the already excellent administration, one area for potential improvement could be in terms of integration."
"The response to basic problems could be faster. They usually respond fast when there are critical issues, but you always want it right now."
"The bad part about having scalability is the expense. It is currently extremely expensive, to be able to scale so fast on flash."
"There are some bugs with the solution which need to be fixed."
"With some of the larger clusters being able to do a patch upgrade is helping. They still take three, four hours by the time you get the night started, finish things up, do the upgrade."
"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."
"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."
"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."
"I would love an iPhone app to monitor my system from outside the firewall."
"If Reduxio could manage multiple Reduxio systems within the same dashboard, or manage them as a single mode, it be very, very helpful for us."
"We had a single failure of the device but believe that it was tied to the server losing contact with our NTP server due to DNS issues. As Reduxio is very time-dependent, losing sync made the entire array unstable."
"Scalability. Reduxio has only one product, they don’t have an option, for now, to expand the storage product."
"Needs some hooks into cloud storage for backup. Also they should update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource."
