We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's helped us because we've changed fundamentally what we talk about. We don't talk about storage and different tiers of storage anymore nor do we talk about servers. We talk now about applications and how applications impact the business and end users.""It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights.""What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate.""Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model.""It's incredibly easy to use and greatly simplified our ability to both deploy and manage our storage subsystems.""FlashArray has some fresh efficiency features. I've never seen a storage solution with a compression rating this high before. It's at least 4-to-1 on Oracle databases. It's the best flash storage for Oracle.""The high availability of the product is the most valuable feature.""The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a product that is fast and provides a fast I/O.""The storage features are valuable.""NetApp NVMe AFF A800 is easier to use than some other solutions and the UI is very good to use for day-to-day activities. Overall, the solution has good technology.""The most valuable features are stability and performance.""Over the eight years, we've been using NetApp with ONTAP, we've never lost a bit of data, and we've only experienced a few minutes of downtime in that entire time.""During the use cases of the solution, its reliability and suitability are the best.""The product can be scaled vertically as well as horizontally.""Low latency is the most valuable feature."

Cons
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency.""I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware.""You cannot tag a LUN with a description, and that should be improved. What I like on the Unity side is that when I expand LUNs or do things, there is an information field on the LUN. This is the Information field that you can tag on your LUNs to let yourself know, "Hey, I've added this much space on this date". Pure lacks that ability. So, you don't have a mechanism that's friendly for tracking your data expansions on the LUN and for adding any additional information. That's a downside for me.""There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product.""The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive.""I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center.""We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI.""It is on the expensive side."

More Pure FlashArray X NVMe Cons →

"The security and reporting could be improved."

More Fungible Storage Cluster Cons →

"The initial setup is complex.""The technical support has room for improvement.""The product’s UI could be better.""Sometimes, it takes a while to get somebody competent on the other end of the line. They do have engineers in multiple time zones around the world. However, their level-one support is not always the best.""Stability is an area with a certain shortcoming where the solution needs to improve""The initial setup should be easier, and more like a plug-and-play approach.""The cost of the solution is quite high. It would be ideal if they could adjust it so that it's a but less.""Increasing the RAM, and including physical cords would be beneficial."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "With Pure Storage, we would like to continue seeing price reductions with flash storage. I don't think we're any different than anybody else when we continue to look to the industry for price reductions of both NVMe and traditional SSD storage. We would like to see these prices continue to decline and erode, even displacing large spinning disks."
  • "We pay approximately $50,000 USD per year in licensing fees."
  • "With VMware, we pay $300,000 annually."
  • "Our licensing fees are $500,000+ USD."
  • "As far as the licensing costs, everything is included in the license."
  • "They can tout the functionality and cutting edge technology that they have, but that's where the price tag comes in. The cost is high, but I think as they grow their business and get more customers that it will probably go down a little bit."
  • "Its price could be better. It is not too expensive, but it is the high-end cost. It is kind of a Rolls-Royce. You pay a lot, but you get a lot out of it. So, the price pressure on the way down would be great, but at the end of the day, if you need to do the work, you just pay for it."
  • "The licensing is on a yearly basis."
