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."
"They have really good baked in analytics to show you trends for growth history, so it does help with future planning for data growth."
"It is fast and reliable. It works."
"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."
"It simplifies storage."
"It is all-flash. This makes it a lot faster than the rest of what we have, as it is able to drive high I/O loads, which is big for us."
"The most valuable feature is replication."
"Data deduplication is one feature I found to be the most valuable in the tool...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution allows us to segregate one storage unit from another."
"The management software is very good."
"The benefits are better up-time, better response time."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its speed."
"The hardware and software of NetApp EF-Series All Flash Arrays are easy for us to use."
"We use it for our VDI environment, and have not had any complaints with it."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The replication and mirroring features are very good."
"The ability to target existing remote storage with NoRestore is going to allow us to leverage existing storage without an increased financial investment."
"In the event of a deletion, corruption, or ransomware, I am never going to lose more than one second of changes."
"It has a very intuitive interface, it integrates more smoothly with our steps. With a different product from a different manufacturer, there are a lot more steps required to set up a volume, to make it available in VMware and to utilize it there."
"The unit has been running at 100% without an issue."
"Write latency is averaging way under a millisecond."
"The HTML5 UI is clean, easy to navigate, and very intuitive."
"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."
"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."
"We would like to integrate it more with our backup solutions."
"We do have an issue with the vCenter integration. Pure Storage says it has a lot of free space, but vCenter says its completely full. This is because their dedupes are saved as space, but Vcenter still detects the disk as completely full. So, we do have an issue with that."
"I can't see where they can make anything better, unless, of course, they lower their prices even more."
"Some services could be inserted directly into the SAN, so Pure Storage could complete with the HyperFlex."
"A minor issue that comes to mind is that, every once in a while, a hard drive will go bad."
"We would like to be able to connect to data tape for backup, specifically to the LTO backups."
"It is way in excess of what we need. If anything, we could see a bit more speed. I'm just comparing it with what some of my colleagues who are implementing their own systems do."
"We've had it in place for about a year and a half and have had zero complaints, other than that box-to-box replication is not encrypted."
"It needs a better management tool."
"Better integration with other brands is important so we would like to see it easier to integrate."
"Their problems are on the software and the controlling of the storage where they lack segmentation and federation."
"A little more manageability, a simpler management interface. It's not necessarily that it's way overly complex. It's just that it's not as easy as the FAS series."
"Better support technicians for CAPP."
"The only major drawback is the replication between EF-Series units."
"This solution has limited storage."
"There could be better integration with some of our Cisco products."
"the only thing I would say negative about Reduxio is the cabling was a little bit confusing at first, but now that we understand it, it's easy. It was just so different from what we've seen before. That was the only hard part to get used to. The storage array is fully redundant, so there are some cross-connect cables that you have to run, from the A side to the B side, and the B side back to the A side, and we've just never seen anything like that before. But now that I understand the design, it makes complete sense. But initially it was confusing."
"Would love to have role-based access and an active directory integration."
"I am waiting for the vSphere Plug-In with individual VM level control."
"The ability to look at data at a file level would be useful, as well as the ability recover at that level. Right now, you can only recover whole volumes."
"It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN."
"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."
"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."
"Integration is needed with other virtual vendors like VMware, Veeam, Hyper-V; that integration needs to be deeper, not just the way that they're using it now. I know that it's under development, but I think this is one of the disadvantages, for now, as a young company. They have to work with the other players on the market."
