Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."We can store more for a cheaper price as opposed to paying for larger devices and larger rack spaces which get outdated sooner and which we'd have to change every two years.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 data reduction technology part of the scalability has been impressive, like its ability to host additional workloads, volumes of data, and databases."
"The solution has probably reduced my power use substantially."
"Performance, deduplication, compression, and fast response time for requests from servers and applications."
"NVMe data storage platform that's easy to set up and easy to use. It's stable, with a lower response time, and quick technical support."
"The job of support for the storage engineers dramatically changed. We know more quickly the automation of the provisioning. We can now focus on things that bring more value to the company than just managing storage."
"This solution has improved our organization. In the past, we had reports that were taking up to two hours and after switching to SSD storage the overall processing power dropped to half an hour. The end users saw an immediate performance gain."
"We like the speed. It's very low latency. In virtualization, you can mask lots of problems, and even in code you can mask lots of problems, with low latency. It's just pure speed and low latency."
"They could probably improve an organization with just about anything. It is all a matter of ease of use, ease of the implementation, etc."
"The replay and IOPS work well."
"InfoSight has helped us resolved an issue where the snapshots were growing too big."
"Regarding their support, you always get through to somebody who knows exactly what they're talking about."
"The setup was very, very simple. When we got our AF5000, no kidding, we had it up in production within two hours"
"The stability is awesome. The product has always been reliable. It has been 100 percent up. We have never had any downtime with it. Even if a controller fails due to our firmware or whatever, it rolls over to the second one and keeps us running."
"Their tech support is very professional, know their products, know what they do, and they are very informative in terms of keeping the customer updated."
"InfoSight, for sure, has been the best feature so far."
"It's actually shaking hands with the workflow solutions much better than any other storage."
"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."
"It took us a year to get it to stabilize and to get the best out of Pure."
"Automation could be simplified."
"Historical analytics would be useful. At the moment, they don't have any type of application built for historical analytics."
"I would like to see them develop the ability to integrate with more AWS services. There are increasingly more and more services coming out from AWS but there are also certain constraints where we can't move everything over to a cloud as well. We would like for things that are on-premise to be easily integrated with AWS."
"I had to contact customer support when a drive failed as I was doing a couple of OS upgrades."
"I’d love to view the average, minimum and maximum performance in the reports (Analysis tab - Performance) but it is only graphics and you need to export data in CSV to find this information."
"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."
"We are doing a hybrid and are moving some machines to Microsoft Azure to run in hybrid mode. We are checking the availability of extra software-defined storage so that we can configure it."
"I would like to see an added feature to auto-fix, or a dynamic alerting system on storage."
"We would like there to be more enhanced features."
"There should be faster interfaces."
"You could argue that it would be preferable if everything were cheaper in order to save taxpayer money."
"I wish they would put the InfoSight page back the way it was. I got in it for the first time about two years ago, and it looked the same for about a year and a half. Then, about six months ago, it changed. There are different options now. I can still get to where I need to go, but it feels like it takes longer, where before it didn't. Also, I felt like I had a lot more options before. I have to do a lot more to digging now to get to where I need to go. I just wish they had their old page back."
"I would like to see more advanced analytics in the next release of this solution."
"The stability can be improved."
"It has to be flexible according to the customer's requirements. It has to be aligned with the customer business and the business environment."
