We performed a comparison between Dell XtremIO and Reduxio [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."We also like the compactness, the small footprint. It takes up very little space in a data center and uses little power."
"It has been very stable. I have not seen or heard of downtime storage issues after moving over to it."
"The most valuable feature of the Pure Storage Flash Array is the blazing fast monitoring."
"The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are the management view of the solutions, ease of provision, and deprovision, it is fantastic."
"We put a fair amount of stress on it because we run sequel workloads and we run web applications where the same web files are hit over and over. We have had almost zero stability issues with that SAN, that has been really great for us."
"The data reduction technology part of the scalability has been impressive, like its ability to host additional workloads, volumes of data, and databases."
"The ease of use. That's what our customers love. They say it's very easy, they don't need special training, they don't need to call us or any other company or integrator to help them do their job. That's the main reason they purchase Pure."
"One of the features that my customers are really interested in is immutable snapshots. There are immutable snapshots to which your applications can be reverted back if you are hit by some kind of ransomware threat or malicious attack. That's kind of a key deal, and it is one of the selling points I use to point out to my customers the value and the features that Pure Storage brings to the table."
"Speed and reliability:"
"Xtrem10's features are more simple to implement. The integration and interface are also good."
"The program is very stable."
"The speed is extremely valuable."
"Thin storage allocation"
"It was very easy and straightforward to setup."
"It has very good performance for an application which needs lower latency and a better response, for example, in microseconds."
"It is great for applications like Microsoft Exchange, ERP, SQL and VDI; basically saved the VDI buy-in from users, as now performance was seamless in comparison to a physical PC."
"Instant recovery through its continuous data protection."
"I like the Reduxio TimeOS, specifically. That feature's pretty good. I haven't seen it in any other product. They're the only ones who have it."
"We love the fact that we do not have to worry about ransomware and can rollback to any point in time."
"The biggest feature, and one of the reasons we use it with the file shares, is its continuous Snapshotting. We can go back to almost to any point in time, not only to last night at midnight or a week ago, but 10 minutes ago or three-hours-and-so-many-seconds, or whatever the case may be. We already had a brush with ransomware in the past, so it's good to know we can dial back to just before a mishap happens."
"In terms of deployment and also data storage, the deduplication ability of it has reduced that footprint."
"Reduxio allows you just spin a dial and go back to just about any time… in most cases (depending on the policies you’ve set) to go back within one second granularity for a couple weeks in the past."
"Ease of user interface: prevents distractions and confusion when dealing with real-time catastrophes and high-pressure situations. Overall, it extremely easy to use. My team was trained within less than two hours."
"Takes advantage of deduplication and compression through as much of the content of VMs which are similar."
"We would like to see more cloud support, which we know is coming, although it's not out yet. It's going to be released in the next versions. That would be the biggest win, if additional cloud support is built into the array."
"They should work on their upgrades, they're not smooth."
"I would like to see the NAS add-on component become more fault-tolerant than just a single virtual machine running inside the array. I'm unwilling to use it for that reason."
"The data reduction that we had initially anticipated when we bought Pure and we move over, is way lower than the expected reduction. It depends on the workloads, of course. But that has been a challenge at times."
"A three wave application or multi wave application synchronization would be an improvement."
"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."
"It's not so scalable. It's got moderate scaling capabilities right now. The clustering technology needs a bit of work, they need to improve that."
"The problem is that we can only make a few groups, around five or six groups. I like groups and we need a lot of them. We had to put all the information in only a few groups and cannot make a more detailed separation of them."
"Right now, external appliances are needed to replicate XtremIO to XtremIO, or to another EMC system."
"XtremIO needs to be lower priced. It also needs better endpoints and scalability."
"I would like to see more scalability."
"It needs a way to determine the deduplication of each LUN and what the impact would be if we were to move data from one LUN to another."
"I believe having more replication options comparatively to VMAX (other than RecoverPoint) would be great."
"Native data replication: To replicate data between XtremIO devices, you need to use EMC’s RecoverPoint appliances to move the data."
"The physical architecture could use some higher levels of redundancy."
"XtremIO is coming to its end of life."
"Maybe it should come in stainless steel, just like its DeLorean time machine predecessor."
"The user interface for the web console could be more user-friendly, while it is flashy, how to find functions is not necessarily obvious."
"Scalability. Reduxio has only one product, they don’t have an option, for now, to expand the storage product."
"The only thing that I would point out would be the basic administration management of the machine. Everything has rights, meaning that there's either all control or no delegated control. So to sum that up, it would be a feature request for delegated management in the administrative console."
"Needs to be made easier to use with slightly older versions of VMware."
"I am waiting for the vSphere Plug-In with individual VM level control."
"We had a single failure of the device but believe that it was tied to the server losing contact with our NTP server due to DNS issues. As Reduxio is very time-dependent, losing sync made the entire array unstable."
"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."
