Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is very straightforward to set up.""Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution.""The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability.""It's helped us because we've changed fundamentally what we talk about. We don't talk about storage and different tiers of storage anymore nor do we talk about servers. We talk now about applications and how applications impact the business and end users.""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.""It's incredibly easy to use and greatly simplified our ability to both deploy and manage our storage subsystems.""The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes.""The high availability of the product is the most valuable feature."

Cons
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage.""The UI for this solution needs to be improved.""We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI.""I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center.""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.""Our use cases require more multi-tenant capabilities and additional VLAN interfaces for separating different customers. We currently use it to provide storage, sometimes shared storage, to different customers, but it is less flexible in comparison to a dedicated solution.""In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models.""It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."

More Pure FlashArray X NVMe Cons →

"The graphical interface is somewhat lacking, and it doesn't cover all the necessary tasks, often requiring users to resort to the command line for completion."

More Fujitsu Cons →

"The graphical user interface is somewhat outdated, lacking some of the modern features found in other solutions.""The solution's support duration or end-of-support life is very short.""There is room for improvement in simplifying the overall complexity of the environment."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "With Pure Storage, we would like to continue seeing price reductions with flash storage. I don't think we're any different than anybody else when we continue to look to the industry for price reductions of both NVMe and traditional SSD storage. We would like to see these prices continue to decline and erode, even displacing large spinning disks."
  • "We pay approximately $50,000 USD per year in licensing fees."
  • "With VMware, we pay $300,000 annually."
  • "Our licensing fees are $500,000+ USD."
  • "As far as the licensing costs, everything is included in the license."
  • "They can tout the functionality and cutting edge technology that they have, but that's where the price tag comes in. The cost is high, but I think as they grow their business and get more customers that it will probably go down a little bit."
  • "Its price could be better. It is not too expensive, but it is the high-end cost. It is kind of a Rolls-Royce. You pay a lot, but you get a lot out of it. So, the price pressure on the way down would be great, but at the end of the day, if you need to do the work, you just pay for it."
  • "The licensing is on a yearly basis."

  • "The entry-level midrange model from Fujitsu is cost-effective for our target market"

  • "Hitachi VSP E Series is an expensive solution."
