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."Support has been helpful."
"What I like most about this solution, is the speed, resiliency and scalability."
"We have seen savings in our storage. The speed of deployment has gone from several days to a few minutes. This product has reduced that time into minutes, simplifying storage for us."
"It helps us maintain uptime much better than other solutions we've used in the past, and the support is extremely quick and responsive."
"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."
"It has improved my organization because now have lower latency, we get fewer complaints from customers, and we see a constant response time."
"It is noticeably easier to manage than other appliances that we have."
"It upgrades in place which means we'll be using it well into the future."
"It was very easy and straightforward to setup."
"Xtrem10's features are more simple to implement. The integration and interface are also good."
"The performance is good, which is important."
"Speed and reliability:"
"The most valuable features are: complete performance and ease of use."
"Initially, we faced numerous issues with our analytical systems. However, we saw performance improvement after the implementation of the solution."
"A valuable feature of XtremIO is that, in terms of administration, it's simple and manageable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its high performance."
"It has improved our backup and recovery window, because you can have two Reduxio machines linked up, so every block that changes on the primary storage array gets replicated to the secondary storage array. If one side or the other goes bad, you just recover from the other side."
"The always-on deduplication and compression is also effective and allows us to achieve about 3x savings on space utilization."
"Write latency is averaging way under a millisecond."
"It has a very intuitive interface, it integrates more smoothly with our steps. With a different product from a different manufacturer, there are a lot more steps required to set up a volume, to make it available in VMware and to utilize it there."
"Reduxio offers a very simple, elegant user interface (design) to manage it."
"The machine has been easy to use."
"Any time I have needed anything, from a simple question to someone to be onsite, the customer service has been exceptional."
"Takes advantage of deduplication and compression through as much of the content of VMs which are similar."
"The solution is not cheap."
"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 would like to migrate to the cloud in the future and know how that would actually work with this product."
"In terms of the future, I have been excited by some of the copy data management stuff that they're talking about building into the environment. There are feature sets where I've done a lot of automation work. So, I am always looking forward to extensions of their API. They're also talking about a phone home centralized analytics database being used as a centralized management console with a list of new cloud features, but this doesn't seem finalized."
"The price of this solution could be improved."
"I would rate this solution an eight because we have had outages. The commit times went very high in the database. The whole array went down so our customers were down for around eight hours. This was a very big outage which could have been our fault because we didn't do the upgrade in time."
"They have a product, FlashBlade, which is their object storage integration, and that's something that we haven't integrated with yet. This might be an area for additional focus as it would play into scalability, because the very nature of object storage is that it's infinitely scalable."
"The scalability of the solution is not as good as it probably could be."
"Management: At the time, there was no snapshot scheduler, so I had to write XSnapCourier to address it. The sad thing is that even after the newest release, which includes a native scheduler, most customers using XSnapCourier chose to stick with it due to a more feature-rich experience."
"This solution is geared toward enterprise-level companies. Small and medium-sized businesses would find it extremely expensive."
"It is very expensive to scale. You have to buy an additional system to extend from one disc, for instance. It is scalable, but extremely expensive to do so."
"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."
"Scalability is something that can be improved because there is an issue when it comes to mixing versions."
"In some cases where we don’t need the flexibility of the virtualization layer, we could free up resources on the VPLEX by using the storage replication."
"The GUI could be modified more in terms of how the different components are linked to each other."
"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."
"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."
"I would love to see deeper integration with VMware vSphere/vCenter. Right now, I can edit existing Reduxio datastore sizes in the vSphere web client. Provisioning new datastores that way would be nice."
"Integration is needed with other virtual vendors like VMware, Veeam, Hyper-V; that integration needs to be deeper, not just the way that they're using it now. I know that it's under development, but I think this is one of the disadvantages, for now, as a young company. They have to work with the other players on the market."
"It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN."
"Maybe it should come in stainless steel, just like its DeLorean time machine predecessor."
"Needs some hooks into cloud storage for backup. Also they should update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource."
"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."
