The solution is very straightforward to set up. It's easy. It's not difficult. 

Deployment of an array took an hour. Implementation of the product did take a while, due to our complexity, however, it works right now. 

I have one staff member for managing the array and then the database team is about four people and it's a global database.

The initial setup is not overly complex or difficult. It's quite simple and very straightforward. A company shouldn't have any issues with the process. 

Pure FlashArray X NVMe has the easiest initial setup. We can set up Pure FlashArray X NVMe within one hour because everything is preconfigured. If you know everything, you can do it. I have set up the solution within half an hour.

The initial setup of this solution was simple and straightforward.

I would rate the easiness of the initial setup as a nine out of ten. The deployment takes hours to days for us, depending on factors such as migration requirements.

The initial setup is very simple. Installing it usually takes around one hour to get it up and running. The total time depends on what you are putting on it, like your specific data and applications.

The initial setup of any storage solution is complex. However, what Pure Storage has been able to do, is remove those complexities. When you receive the product, you will get detailed information on what to do. It really does eliminate the complexities. In other words, our experience has been very positive with the product out of the box. We did not need dedicated support engineers, we were able to figure these things out on our own, and we did it based on their documentation. If I had to rate that on a scale of one to 10 I would say that it's about a 9.5 as well.

The initial setup is relatively easy. Our deployment was quick, taking just one to two days. The first day was about setting up the hardware and basic configuration, while the second day focused on provisioning. The system's automation features, like running scripts to create volumes, made it a smooth process. Doing it in-house was straightforward, and the solution integrated seamlessly into our setup. It only takes one person to maintain the solution.

I didn't do the setup, but everything I heard was that it was straightforward.

The initial setup was straightforward. The deployment took about three days. The first day, we just put it in our racks and put the network cables and fiber channel cables on it. On the second day, we made the initial setup with high availability and created the first volumes. We migrated the data from our current storage to Pure Storage on the third day.

The initial setup is very easy. Recently, they made an upgrade, a live system working on a bank, which is a non-interruption upgrade from one service to another one. The upgrade was very useful and easy to do. We didn't need to stop anything. The maintenance and the updates are very easy.

The initial setup is very simple and quite fast. The deployment only takes a few days. 

The initial setup was easy. It was straightforward.

The installation was done within three hours. 

Its setup was more straightforward than EMC Unity's setup. It took about two hours.

It is not maintenance-heavy. Its maintenance appears less than an EMC Unity array. I handle the array, but in terms of maintenance, you can schedule the upgrades with Pure, like EMC. It is done all remotely by Pure's own people. That's one thing that is not good with EMC because you have to deal with their Indian offshore team for upgrades which is lacking many times.

Pure support is how EMC used to be. EMC used to be follow-the-sun, where you had support in Cork, Ireland, the US, and then Australia, but like a lot of our US companies, they have now offshored and it is reflected in worse support in several ways, one being communication barriers.  Resolution times have been extended more than it should due to offshore support. I have had extended
turnaround times to get solutions because of their lack of talent. There
is a language issue, and their L1 support team is clearly not as good
as it should be.

What I do love about Pure is that it is lighter in maintenance.

Overall the initial setup of Pure FlashArray X NVMe is not difficult. It's simple to deploy, install and get up and running. The full process of deployment which includes installation, setup, and configuration, takes approximately one day.

I rate the initial setup of Pure FlashArray X NVMe an eight out of ten.

The deployment is simple. We have a single person for maintenance and they spend one or two hours per month doing it.

The tool's deployment is easy and can be completed in an hour. Deployment is plug-and-play. 

The initial setup was very smooth and straightforward. We didn't have any issues with it. 

The initial setup was straightforward. 

The initial setup was straightforward and easy.

The initial setup is very easy. Its installation is very simple. The console is fairly intuitive, and I understood more or less what my team was doing.

The initial setup was very straightforward. It's pretty much plug and play.

The initial setup of this solution is straightforward.

The initial setup was very straightforward. It took two weeks from start to finish.

The initial setup of this solution was straightforward. It was an easy setup.
