Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The most valuable feature is that maintenance is free."
"It is pretty much just plug and play. There is not that much to do with it. It is very easy to use."
"Data reduction and compression. Sub millisecond latency."
"The initial setup was really straight forward."
"The performance and the ever-growing maintenance are the most valuable features of this solution."
"We put a fair amount of stress on it because we run sequel workloads and we run web applications where the same web files are hit over and over. We have had almost zero stability issues with that SAN, that has been really great for us."
"Pure is simple to set up and manage on a day-to-day basis."
"We find the ease of usability and setup valuable."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"InfoSight, for sure, has been the best feature so far."
"In the 20 days that we have been using this solution, it has been stable."
"We use InfoSight predictive analytics. It helps us from a performance perspective by identifying potential bottlenecks."
"I use InfoSight quite a bit. It works well. It allows you to get some insight into what's happening in your environment immediately, instead of having to send things off and having them analyzed and sent back to you."
"Nimble Storage is a great storage solution which will give you a lot insight on the growth of your storage."
"The quality of the service and management tools let us make contractual guarantees for storage performance for customers. That's something we couldn't do before."
"The management software that runs in the cloud is called InfoSight and it is very good. It is similar to machine learning software that monitors your hardware."
"InfoSight is helpful because it is proactive support."
"We would like to be able to connect to data tape for backup, specifically to the LTO backups."
"The technical support is okay, but could be improved."
"The scalability of the solution is not as good as it probably could be."
"We understand that they're thinking about it, but one of the things that would be nice is if they added some basic file-level capabilities to the platform. The idea is that they would run a basic NFS or CIF share from the controllers. FlashBlade is the powerhouse for File and Object storage, but if you don't need all that power, a lightweight file function would make FlashArrays more versatile."
"The price of this solution could be improved."
"The support for NFS protocols right out-of-the-box need improvement. I'm used to other storage vendors who have NFS support right out-of-the-box, and Pure Storage doesn't seem to have anything."
"The connectivity needs improvement. You do not have the possibility to have a file and block connectivity at the same time on the same machine. It has limited ability to do so."
"We would like to see more cloud support, which we know is coming, although it's not out yet. It's going to be released in the next versions. That would be the biggest win, if additional cloud support is built into the array."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"We face challenges with hardware delivery."
"I would like to see an added feature to auto-fix, or a dynamic alerting system on storage."
"The stability can be improved."
"Scalability, in terms of being able to scale out, is not easy and should be improved."
"The solution needs to be an active-active controller."
"I don't think it is officially released yet, but the main reason that we chose Nimble is because of the sync rep feature. So, I would like to see that further evolve. This feature will be essential for our setups."
"It was a bit expensive."
"The amount of firmware updates released seem excessive."
