Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The data reduction technology part of the scalability has been impressive, like its ability to host additional workloads, volumes of data, and databases."
"Performance, dedupe, and that it works well with database workloads are its most valuable features."
"It comes with a large number of features out-of-the-box, which makes it easy for us to see problems and manage capacity."
"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 has improved my organization because now have lower latency, we get fewer complaints from customers, and we see a constant response time."
"It helps us maintain uptime much better than other solutions we've used in the past, and the support is extremely quick and responsive."
"The sales and executive support have been outstanding compared to the rest of the market... My upgrade paths have been simple on the Pure... It's a lot simpler to implement and a lot simpler to manage."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support."
"There's lots of flexibility in how we use the resources while also maintaining a small footprint."
"We have been able to consolidate storage into Pavilion. Pavilions are our only SANs because it is a bring your own disk solution. When new drives come out, we are able to take out half of the drives in the system, put in new drives, move our VMs over to the new drives, take the other drives out, and populate those with new drives. Then, we are suddenly twice as dense as we were before. NVMe flash is only going to get denser and cheaper so we can make use of that every couple of years by just throwing newer disks into it at a fraction of the cost of a new SAN."
"The high performance is very valuable, as well as the enterprise reliability features."
"This has been one of the most reliable storage systems that I have ever used."
"The solution is useful for machine learning and scientific applications, including computer simulations."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see automated copy data management for SQL Server."
"Its price needs improvement. Its price is almost double than any other flash storage solution."
"They should work on their upgrades, they're not smooth."
"The credentials on the iSCSI interface are only available to type in with the Chrome browser, and not with the Firefox browser."
"They are doing some stuff with containers and an object search. These could be improved, because containers is one of the main topics that we are talking with our customers about."
"A minor issue that comes to mind is that, every once in a while, a hard drive will go bad."
"Its price could be cheaper. It is not the cheapest one out there, but I'm not directly involved in the figures and negotiations."
"The primary drawback is the cost, which can be prohibitive for small configurations."
"I would like to see the management layer improved."
"In our current configuration, we can only run the line controllers in high availability, active-standby mode, whereas we would like to see active-active implemented."
"The rail system that Pavilion uses to mount up into a standard Dell or APC cabinet extends further back than normal rails, and they cover up the zero PDU slot. So, I don't like the rail system that comes with the device. That is my biggest complaint."
"The write performance could be improved because it is less than half of the read performance."
"The read/write ratio is an area in the solution with some flaws and needs improvement."
