Featured Reviews

MikaelHellström - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Manager at Regin Dalarna
Has handled backup storage needs reliably and supports seamless upgrades
In environments requiring high throughput and low latency, Pure Storage FlashBlade provides high throughput and normal latency, but we do not have any application that requires low latency right now, so the latency of three to five milliseconds is considered kind of high. Pure Storage FlashBlade's ability to integrate with enterprise applications is not important for us, as we only want to present an S3 bucket for our backup, which we have done, and it works very fast. We use the Purity software's data reduction techniques; we have a backup software that compresses everything before sending it to the S3 bucket, achieving a data reduction of 1.1 to one. I would recommend Pure Storage FlashBlade to other companies because it's a very fast and scalable solution for anyone who needs it. On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution an 8.

With many servers in one, these blade servers are easier to manage
The service could be improved by faster servers, more widely available VMs, and more storage in one place. Then, in the event of a blade failure, we could start our VMs on another blade in a couple of minutes. This is why we wanted to buy storage. But now, we want to buy a twin server with 24 VMware discs to create test storage. The next product release should allow more servers to be controlled simultaneously.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Everpure FlashBlade has positively impacted my organization through the partnership between our companies, as I am a reseller."
"I would rate this solution an eight plus. It has has good flexibility and stability, it's easy to manage and the response time is good."
"My advice for anybody considering this solution is to go by the business needs, as opposed to just choosing the fastest solution."
"This solution has improved how our organization functions in the way that it has essentially made us not have to think about storage."
"I would recommend this solution to other interested companies because it's extremely fast."
"It performs well and it is also very fast."
"The product is fantastic."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is performance."
"The ability to save resource is a key feature."
"It's an affordable and scalable device that fits requirements for a SMB with a tight server budget."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"We use Supermicro Superblade servers because we are a software engineering company and these competitively priced blade servers with many servers in one are easier to manage."
"I think the IPMI is a really good feature."
"So far, the solution seems to be very stable."
"This solution can be used for various applications, high-performance computing, software as a service, cloud service, and data centers."
 

Cons

"Its configuration should be easier."
"It's on the expensive side, as expected for a niche product."
"In my opinion, one way Pure Storage FlashBlade can be improved is by having more compatibility between the FlashArray and FlashBlade, allowing for synchronized data between both platforms."
"The Pure Storage Orchestrator is our biggest pain point at the moment."
"The documentational aspect of FlashBlade needs improvement."
"In terms of scalability, it doesn't expand out quite as robustly as some of the others, but it covers 90% of the market in what it does."
"The technical support needs to improve. When we open a case, it is auto assigned to a support tech person. Nine out of ten times, we get an email right back saying that person is off until tomorrow. I cannot handle that. They just did this over the weekend to us, too. I had to call our rep and have them do something about it."
"An area for improvement in Pure Storage FlashBlade is its price. It could be reduced. The technical support for Pure Storage FlashBlade also needs improvement. It used to be good, with more experienced engineers. Nowadays, it isn't, and it takes longer for support to solve problems."
"I think the Supermicro blade servers are not the best. They could improve in scalability but are not really scalable right now."
"They need to improve their delivery time. It takes too long right now."
"The solution does not scale well."
"There is a lack of support for fiber channels currently that needs to be added."
