DataDirect Networks SFA 10000 [EOL] vs IBM FlashSystem comparison

"The cost of the IBM FlashSystem is lower than the HPE solution."

"Pricing can be considered as per market competition."

"For a yearly license, it is about $100,000. There are no additional costs. The entire system is included."

"This is an expensive product and if the price were reduced it would be better."

"The tool is cost-efficient."

"Among IBM, Dell EMC, and Pure Storage, IBM is the cheapest. The price is also based on our location, the size of our entity, and our regular annual purchases from them. We are a very big IBM customer, so we normally get very high discounts. We are not a big customer of Pure Storage. We don't buy that much from Pure Storage per year. Everything is included in the price. There is no extra license for different functions."

"This solution is expensive compared to other solutions."

"My customers got the IBM FlashSystem bundle offer. It was a one-time purchase for three years of service. The price would depend on the storage size and could reach between $25,000 to $55,000."
