"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"The Pure1 component is most valuable at this point in time when comparing it with EMC. Pure1 is where you can have your diagnostics in the cloud, so you can look at things from your mobile phone."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"It is pretty much just plug and play. There is not that much to do with it. It is very easy to use."
"We consume less physical storage because of the solution’s deduplication and compression."
"The management features are well organized and they have a very good dashboard."
"Very stable; no worries about how much it can handle."
"The solution is easy to scale. I'm running two environments right now, so I need to scale. I'm running a part technology. I've got an A-side and a B-side."
"I like the speed, and I like the API and how programmable it is."
"The speed is one of the most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray."
"We are very happy with the data deduplication and compression ratio that we have on the platform."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"The Deduplication feature in VDI environments. If Tintri says we can host 3000 VMs in our storage, I know we can host 3000 VMs there. Believe the results."
"The ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"Our use cases require more multi-tenant capabilities and additional VLAN interfaces for separating different customers. We currently use it to provide storage, sometimes shared storage, to different customers, but it is less flexible in comparison to a dedicated solution."
"We would like to see VNC integration or be able to use Pure Storage with VNC."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"The technical support is okay, but could be improved."
"I would like to see support for NVMe, end-to-end."
"The one major gripe I have is that there is no snapshotting enabled by default on the SAN."
"We would like to see better troubleshooting aspects. It helps us if we can find out where the problem is. Right now, it's difficult. Sometimes it's difficult to pinpoint the issue. If they had more visibility and more troubleshooting feature built into the tool that would really help."
"I feel like there is too much automation; the user doesn't have any manual input."
"The problem is that we can only make a few groups, around five or six groups. I like groups and we need a lot of them. We had to put all the information in only a few groups and cannot make a more detailed separation of them."
"It is a bit expensive."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"Speed of our VDI machines. We have a very high log in and log out ratio and machines are being refreshed instantly so we have a constant boot storm on our storage."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"I would like to be able to add more storage capacity to our 2 units down the road with out buying an additional seprate array."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"Their current replication is really just enough to "check the box" that they do replication. We'll probably implement Actifio, Zerto or EMC RecoverPoint for VMs for more critical data replication."
"The Tintri OS and GlobalCenter software do a great job of showing you troubled VMs, however it still could be a bit more helpful in diagnosing the issues."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"What I feel would be nice, in terms of a wishlist, is scalability. Rather than replacing the whole appliance, I would like to be able to just add another unit and scale it like that."
