Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Data deduplication is one feature I found to be the most valuable in the tool...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is the SAN backbone for our company."
"I use all the features of this solution and I find them to be easy to use and functional, such as the compression and capacity to expand."
"It is an easy to use product for all of my team members."
"As soon as we introduced our first Pure Storage FlashArray, the first benefit was at least twice the performance increase. Our production databases simply ran twice as fast with no other change."
"One of the lesser sung advantages was when we started running our interface engine on Pure Storage. The ability to process messages and pass them through in our organization skyrocketed purely because of a disk that I owned which we were getting out of Pure Storage."
"Has also helped simplify storage for us. The other person we put in there, took about a week to implement. And we had both arrays set up within around four hours with a thirty minute drive time between the two locations."
"It is noticeably easier to manage than other appliances that we have."
"We mostly use it for backup, because we cannot measure anything, and we are afraid to use it for surveillance systems. We were planning to use it for mostly for surveillance systems."
"Very good IOPS performance"
"The most valuable features are that it is fast and reliable."
"A valuable feature of XtremIO is that, in terms of administration, it's simple and manageable."
"Thin storage allocation"
"Initially, we faced numerous issues with our analytical systems. However, we saw performance improvement after the implementation of the solution."
"Speed and reliability:"
"Ease of management, aside from the serious performance, is the best feature."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"Automation could be simplified."
"I would like to see some improvements on the FlashBlade side around the CIFS space support. I am not super familiar with all the different NAS protocols that they run on their box, but there could be some improvements made on SMB CIFS side."
"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see automated copy data management for SQL Server."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve in the area of cryptographic information in the consoles. The user-friendliness could improve. The Pure Storage FlashArray team should come and log into the system with their maintenance credentials and then pull out the information as evidence of cryptography."
"I would like some performance analytics which go deeper than today. It should be specific to some hosts and applications. This would be good."
"Currently, the solution fails to support file screening."
"I would like to have support available in Spanish."
"I believe having more replication options comparatively to VMAX (other than RecoverPoint) would be great."
"Ease of use is key in the converged and hyper-converged world that requires administrators to have both hypervisor and storage skills."
"I would like hardware capacity additions to be a little more flexible. The upgrade path for the existing XTremIO units requires you to purchase 2 XBricks at a time and they need to be the same capacity as the existing XBricks."
"Management and reporting need improvement."
"Native data replication: To replicate data between XtremIO devices, you need to use EMC’s RecoverPoint appliances to move the data."
"One thing that should be improved is the reporting and monitoring tools. It should use real time monitoring for storage, IOPS, latency, etc."
"The management should be improved and the GUI interface could be better and easier."
"XtremIO needs to be lower priced. It also needs better endpoints and scalability."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
