Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Provides fast access and is user-friendly."
"The amount of throughput that we're getting is really nice."
"Their technical support is excellent. It's the best out of any of the vendors we work with."
"Running SAP on Pure Storage helps a lot without doing any further tuning to improve application performance. Our internal clients are happy."
"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."
"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."
"The stability is very good. I've done destructive testing on it and never had any type of storage outages from it."
"It is a stable and scalable solution with quick and efficient storage capability."
"HPE Primera is an all-flash storage product that's very stable and has a higher storage capacity. It can also give better ROI compared to NetApp."
"In my opinion, HPE is making good progress and moving ahead with InfoSight, which is predictive analytics and artificial intelligence."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The product is stable."
"All of the capabilities of the hardware such as replication, snapshot, and the specific features are all included from the start as opposed to being on another license."
"It serves as the primary storage in my production environment."
"The most valuable feature is an all-flash system, which means the data access speed is amazing while the latency is almost nothing, and it can deliver IOPS up to 16,000."
"The solution is useful for machine learning and scientific applications, including computer simulations."
"This has been one of the most reliable storage systems that I have ever used."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see some improvements on the FlashBlade side around the CIFS space support. I am not super familiar with all the different NAS protocols that they run on their box, but there could be some improvements made on SMB CIFS side."
"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."
"Going forward, don't complicate things for the customers."
"I would like to see a Nagios monitoring plugin which watches the health and performance of the system. The only one available just checks volume capacity."
"A three wave application or multi wave application synchronization would be an improvement."
"A minor issue that comes to mind is that, every once in a while, a hard drive will go bad."
"The file server embedded in Pure, the GUI, and the tracking and reporting features are better with Pure Storage."
"There are certain features that require engineering-level access, which should be accessible to storage admins as well."
"HPE Primera's pricing model is an area of concern and can be considered for improvement."
"The cost of HPE Primera could be lower."
"The solution could improve by having seamless migration from other storage systems. The process should be made easier."
"We cannot use this storage for critical applications and data."
"The solution could prove the reporting."
"There really isn't any aspect of the solution that needs improvement for the customer other than its price."
"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."
