We performed a comparison between HPE Nimble Storage 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 most valuable feature of this solution is the support."
"This solution has improved our organization in the way that we used to see latency but now with this solution we don't. It also has good performance. Latencies have come down for our performance in the SQL databases. We can put a lot more in a lot less in terms of space savings. We also save data center space have good deduplication."
"It is an easy to use product for all of my team members."
"It helps to simplify storage. For most of our customers, when they move to Pure Storage, storage becomes an afterthought."
"The console is simple to use. It has good performance. It is easy to install, understand, and manage, with a good ratio of deduplication and compression. It is doing its job."
"It worked flawlessly."
"Provides fast access and is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is it never goes down. We can expand and create volumes."
"The management software that runs in the cloud is called InfoSight and it is very good. It is similar to machine learning software that monitors your hardware."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The setup was very, very simple. When we got our AF5000, no kidding, we had it up in production within two hours"
"VMware integration, why is pretty self-explanatory."
"The replay and IOPS work well."
"Performance, reliability, InfoSight, the ability to upgrade the O/S on the SAN without taking it down, and cost."
"The fact that they offer free training is awesome. There are not very many vendors that do that."
"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."
"We are able to recover to the second, if needed, our data. This greatly improves restore capability, for example, if there is a cryptolocker outbreak or data loss."
"Ease of user interface: prevents distractions and confusion when dealing with real-time catastrophes and high-pressure situations. Overall, it extremely easy to use. My team was trained within less than two hours."
"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."
"Reduxio offers a very simple, elegant user interface (design) to manage 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."
"We are enjoying a quantum leap in speed, reliability, and available space with this system."
"I have an every second undo button for all my applications. I call Reduxio "the ransomware killer"."
"The unit has been running at 100% without an issue."
"The price should be lower."
"I would like to see them lower the costs."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"I would love to see a true one click upgrade solution. Right now, you have to click and schedule an appointment with Pure Storage to be able to upgrade. I would love for it to automatically download, install, and fall-over every controller as it updates."
"The internal garbage collection process has been fixed recently in some OS updates so it is more efficient but that could be just a little better."
"Automation could be simplified."
"The data reduction that we had initially anticipated when we bought Pure and we move over, is way lower than the expected reduction. It depends on the workloads, of course. But that has been a challenge at times."
"I like what they're doing, but some of my customers complain that they do not have all the bells and whistles and knobs to fine-tune workloads that some of the competitors have. In my opinion, that's good. All customers don't have dedicated storage gurus, and they can get themselves into trouble if they fine-tune too many of those high-performance knobs, but they do get knocked down. Pure Storage takes a hit in the minds and opinions of some of the customers because they cannot customize things as much as compared to a legacy storage provider's appliance such as NetApp, Dell EMC, or even HPE. I personally think 95% of my customers are better off letting the system fine-tune itself. That was something that you needed to do 12 or 15 years ago, but now with all-flash, the technology can handle what it needs to handle. Customers just end up shooting themselves in the foot if they are tweaking too many default settings."
"The HPE Nimble Storage could have better integration with monitoring and machine learning system information solutions."
"The solution could improve by having more granularity. For example, having the ability to go deeper into specific IO channels or specific latency issues that can happen would be a benefit. HPE has this ability on their side but it would be useful to have it on our side."
"The solution that I have is a hybrid, not a full flash. The hybrid version could be improved."
"An area that needs improvement is extending the life of the device after five years."
"When we’re setting up the solution, making options available regarding the replication tool mechanism would be ideal."
"I want it to be an active-active array. Nimble would be great as an active-active array because then everything checks out. It would give a feeling of comfort."
"I'd like to see more granular quality of service rules. Currently, I think currently there's not much room for maximum IOPS, but there's not an option for minimum IOPS for a given volume."
"The solution needs to be an active-active controller."
"It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN."
"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."
"Scalability. Reduxio has only one product, they don’t have an option, for now, to expand the storage product."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Needs some hooks into cloud storage for backup. Also they should update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource."
