Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Our storage phones home. It is smart and intelligent in that aspect, which has been huge for us. We don't have to be storage administrators."
"Support has been helpful."
"Most of the problems that we had in the past with the performance in IOPS have disappeared. It has been a great improvement for our customers' services."
"They have really good baked in analytics to show you trends for growth history, so it does help with future planning for data growth."
"It has been very stable. I have not seen or heard of downtime storage issues after moving over to it."
"We can store more for a cheaper price as opposed to paying for larger devices and larger rack spaces which get outdated sooner and which we'd have to change every two years. It simplifies storage for us."
"The initial setup was very straightforward and very quick. It was up and running in our data center within 24 hours of receiving it."
"The amount of data that I have moved to it from legacy storage has enabled us to retire units that are three or four times the physical size."
"The most valuable feature of Dell EMC XtremIO is the data protection (DP) group, it is one of the most advanced features in these types of arrays. The dedupe and compression that this array provides both do a superb job."
"Snapshots are valuable because of their seamless nature, as well as the minimal space each snapshot takes."
"Initially, we faced numerous issues with our analytical systems. However, we saw performance improvement after the implementation of the solution."
"The feature I like most about Dell Xtremio is its hardware quality compared to other vendors. It's clear they're continuously improving their research and development."
"The Metro clustering and solid-state performance, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Ease of management, aside from the serious performance, is the best feature."
"The most valuable features are: complete performance and ease of use."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its high performance."
"This product has good performance."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"The internal garbage collection process has been fixed recently in some OS updates so it is more efficient but that could be just a little better."
"Pure Storage support could be a little better."
"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."
"Automation could be simplified."
"I would rate this solution an eight. There's always room for improvement, nobody is perfect to get a ten out of ten. They do what they do well. It's not cheap but we it's for uses that we needed."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"The time-to-market could be better at times, but I think that's true for all vendors of hardware."
"I would like some performance analytics which go deeper than today. It should be specific to some hosts and applications. This would be good."
"The implementation isn't exactly complex, but the solution should have some enhancements in it to make the process more centralized."
"I would like to see more scalability."
"Sometimes we don't get an immediate response from the support team. The initial POC also took a lot of resources."
"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 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."
"XtremIO needs to be lower priced. It also needs better endpoints and scalability."
"The GUI could be modified more in terms of how the different components are linked to each other."
"Management and reporting need improvement."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
