We performed a comparison between Dell XtremIO and Violin System 7000 Series [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."It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"The latency is good."
"We're able to get higher-density workloads on the same infrastructure, and we have a smaller physical footprint. The performance is excellent – during our test the bottlenecks are never on the X array, it just keeps picking up the pace to match what you need. The real-time visibility is a differentiator in my opinion."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"Dell XtremIO is good for databases and huge workloads."
"A valuable feature of XtremIO is that, in terms of administration, it's simple and manageable."
"I like the deduplication and auto-tiering features."
"The most valuable features are: complete performance and ease of use."
"Speed and reliability:"
"It has very good performance for an application which needs lower latency and a better response, for example, in microseconds."
"Performance and deduplication. This is a very robust block storage option that offers both performance and data optimization."
"Snapshots are valuable because of their seamless nature, as well as the minimal space each snapshot takes."
"This is an all-flash storage array. It is the best solution for large batch processing. There are some customer databases that have tens of millions of records in one large database. That's where VIOLIN performs the best. VIOLIN stands out for million of IOPS with ultra-low latency. VIOLIN can provide about two million IOPS in a 3U unit. We have a latency of less than one millisecond."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"Every time I think of something that needs to improve, they're one step ahead, which I love. The only area I wish to see improve, I believe is coming, is in the FlashBlade product. Blade implementation fell short on a few of the services."
"We have run into a couple of instances recently where we are running out of space. So we have had to buy some more packs for it and they have deployed fine and it has increased smoothly."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"We need better data deduplication."
"Right now, external appliances are needed to replicate XtremIO to XtremIO, or to another EMC system."
"I am not too impressed with XtremeIO because we had a major failure."
"XtremIO needs to be lower priced. It also needs better endpoints and scalability."
"In the next release, the solution could have better integration and if we can host assets on the cloud, such as NetApp has the NetApp volumes, which we can host on the cloud directly called NetApp CVO (cloud volume ONTAP). Dell EMC should come up with something purely on the cloud rather than manage services."
"We've encountered challenges in integrating other products with Dell Xtremio, as it tends to be more vendor-locked. This means we can't easily explore other solutions that might work alongside Dell."
"The management should be improved and the GUI interface could be better and easier."
"The product could be improved by reducing the pricing and having better organization in their technical support team."
"Management and reporting need improvement."
"Its overall usability can be improved. It takes some time to know small things here and there to make sure it is working properly."
