The number one aspect of FlashBlade is performance.
The ability to move large amounts of data through a training array is pretty much unparalleled.
The scalability has been great.
It's put together in such a way that it's very simple to configure and maintain. Things like data replication are easy to set up and monitor.
The onboarding and integrated monitoring tools are pretty good.

The snapshots, replication, and the ability to have immutable blades are the most valuable features. You're putting data snapshots out in those blades, and they cannot be touched. Its performance is great.

The most valuable features include the ease of implementation, ease of use and the speed that you can do backup and recovery on.
It's not complex. Everything's included in the licensing. You pay for a terabyte of storage. You don't pay for it if you want to upgrade to a bigger driver. Your support is set constantly in the Evergreen model. You also get free refreshes, etc. All of that in combination gives everybody an easier feeling of how they're going to go forward and what their known costs are further on down the road with Purity.

Business Development Manager of Storage Systems at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
FlashBlade is absolutely stable. As in all products from Pure Storage, they offer some best quality and are stable. They are quite good in terms of the hardware, in the software.
We don't face any trouble during the installation process or handling maintenance.
Based on the user experience, we expect that they will not have any issues in the future, we hope.
The product is scalable and easy to expand.
If you need high throughput the FlashBlade is the best solution for you. It is the only one on the market that can provide 15GB per second from one node. And if you have another node, it will be 30GB per second. So the throughput performance is excellent for FlashBlade. It's not about the capacity, not about the features - it's about the throughput differences.

Speed and ease of use are the two most valuable features.
I like the information that we're getting out of the predictive performance analytics feature so far. We've only had it for six months so we need to get some more data.

Primarily, most of the features that we've used work out of the box. It's fairly simple if you just roll it out. We integrated it with our kubernetes cluster fairly painlessly but, also the flip side of that is that's where the pain point is coming from because we need a bit more control over it. That's been the frustrating aspect of it, but for the most part, it was plug and play.

Practice Manager for Infrastructure at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
The most valuable feature is its ease of use. We went from six different storage vendors down to one. The training for the operations staff and others that had to deal with this on a provisioning standpoint was much easier to do. The process was seamless and very easy to learn.
It has absolutely simplified our storage because the dashboards on the consoles show a clear understanding of where you are, and it is also very easy to provision. This been a big help for our teams.
I am very happy with the latency, availability, and reduction rates.
