Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."They have really good baked in analytics to show you trends for growth history, so it does help with future planning for data growth."
"The best feature is consistently lower latency, even when IOPS crank up to over 75K. The product maintains submillisecond response time, which is incredible."
"This solution has helped my organization by cutting down on provisioning time. I used to have to provision a VM and it would take ten minutes. Now, it takes thirty seconds."
"With Pure Storage, we don't see any latency or IOPS. It has been a very seamless integration."
"It allows engineers to focus on other things rather than doing the more manual tasks. It automates tasks, so the ease of use is extreme. It simplifies the storage."
"Access speed and power consumption are most valuable."
"The amount of throughput that we're getting is really nice."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is the complete set of functions it provides."
"The most valuable features are that it is easy to implement and configure, easy to use, and really reliable."
"The solution is useful for machine learning and scientific applications, including computer simulations."
"This has been one of the most reliable storage systems that I have ever used."
"I would like to see data tiering to AWS."
"I like what they're doing, but some of my customers complain that they do not have all the bells and whistles and knobs to fine-tune workloads that some of the competitors have. In my opinion, that's good. All customers don't have dedicated storage gurus, and they can get themselves into trouble if they fine-tune too many of those high-performance knobs, but they do get knocked down. Pure Storage takes a hit in the minds and opinions of some of the customers because they cannot customize things as much as compared to a legacy storage provider's appliance such as NetApp, Dell EMC, or even HPE. I personally think 95% of my customers are better off letting the system fine-tune itself. That was something that you needed to do 12 or 15 years ago, but now with all-flash, the technology can handle what it needs to handle. Customers just end up shooting themselves in the foot if they are tweaking too many default settings."
"I would love for them to have a hyper-converged solution."
"The number of Filesystems is limited, which it is not on the EMC VNX."
"I had to contact customer support when a drive failed as I was doing a couple of OS upgrades."
"The setup needs to be improved the most. They can do a little more with the user interface, but the setup is what I would like to see made a bit easier."
"Had some issues with Purity not being entirely compatible with VMware ESXi."
"The time-to-market could be better at times, but I think that's true for all vendors of hardware."
"The security and reporting could be improved."
"The write performance could be improved because it is less than half of the read performance."
"The read/write ratio is an area in the solution with some flaws and needs improvement."
