You can swap out the drives with larger sizes, you can add more shelves. All of that is perfect - the whole concept of keeping it modular..."
"For us, the most valuable feature is the compression and deduplication. Being able to deploy a three to one ratio for storage is absolutely critical in today's world with the growing need for storage and the growing need for more space."
"The most valuable feature is that maintenance is free."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is its high stability level."
"Support has been helpful."
"Its array houses our entire production environment."
"Technical support is good."
"We are very happy with the data deduplication and compression ratio that we have on the platform."
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The main feature of Dell PowerStore is its support for NVMe as well as hybrid solutions."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerStore are the support for NVMe and SCM, which provides end-to-end performance and high IOPS, minimizing latency. It is a full-fledged storage solution."
"The solution is stable."
"Dell PowerStore is an easy and fast tool to work through our company's data."
"I have found the most valuable part of Dell PowerStore is the price."
"The solution is extremely stable."
"For access from virtual machines, iSCSI, and NFS, it is very good. It helps increase performance."
"It's actually shaking hands with the workflow solutions much better than any other storage."
"The price of this solution could be improved."
"The way Pure Storage does the controller storage warranty or replacement has been an issue for some people who just replace the controllers every couple of years, and that's where some of the confusion with pricing and support has come in. They should be clear on the way the controller replacements happen, as it is important to know whether or not you can get a good return on them, because it can be a little confusing."
"The number of Filesystems is limited, which it is not on the EMC VNX."
"I would like to see them develop the ability to integrate with more AWS services. There are increasingly more and more services coming out from AWS but there are also certain constraints where we can't move everything over to a cloud as well. We would like for things that are on-premise to be easily integrated with AWS."
"A year ago they promised that they would be able to read through the database encryption with more metric and they have not delivered on that patch, which is significant because it gives us back so much more storage room. We want to be able to read through the encryption."
"I want to learn more about command line usage which I have not explored much yet. However, there are many automated solutions for repetitive tasks. I would like to see additional features like performance monitoring, configuring of alerts, and the customization of alert thresholds in the next release."
"I would like to see them lower the costs."
"Storage. There could be better storage."
"The solution only does thin provisioning."
"Could use some additional automation."
"I would like to see a Snapshot feature. Currently, it is unable to occupy the capacity."
"It was very new when we first deployed it a year ago. Even the upgrade processes and knowing what to expect, as well as documentation, could be more robust."
"More demonstration and training options are needed."
"Reporting is an area that could be improved. It's very simplistic sometimes, and some of the very technical guys on my team want to see more of the details and be able to massage the report a little bit better."
"We are happy with the service in general. The only thing would be the price of the platform."
"After the smooth launch of the product in our company, only the areas around upgrades are a bit problematic. In our organization, we face difficulties when updating the product."
"It has to be flexible according to the customer's requirements. It has to be aligned with the customer business and the business environment."
