Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."This solution is very scalable."
"The simplicity of it. The performance is good, but the simplicity is the best thing. Storage management is quite complex, but Pure Storage is easy to manage."
"It is easy to manage. You don't have to have the same people who used to manage the Dell EMC arrays because the solution is more intuitive."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most comfortable pricing, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"Having an intuitive user interface to get things running is great."
"The stability of Pure Storage is very very good."
"It's just very easy for general block storage."
"Its array houses our entire production environment."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"Considering the cost, I find NetApp EF-Series All Flash Arrays to be the best storage available in the market."
"Rapid deployment, easy integration management and cloning of areas."
"The NetApp EF-Series gave our organization easy access to our data bases."
"Its performance is most valuable. This solution is much faster than other as well as older storage solutions. The performance of the system is very good. We are getting 50 times better experience than the older storages. We are using AFF 300. It also has native cloud integration and most of the features."
"I like the performance aspect of EF Series. It basically provides everything that we are looking for as a solution, very low latency and very high performance."
"The replication and mirroring features are very good."
"One of the most valuable features is the overall performance it provides. You're able to throw a pile of IOPS at it and it will handle that without much issue."
"I would have to say performance at this point, because the application it is based on is so diverse."
"The file functionality could be better."
"It needs to improve its price."
"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"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 problem is that we can only make a few groups, around five or six groups. I like groups and we need a lot of them. We had to put all the information in only a few groups and cannot make a more detailed separation of them."
"As long as they always improve on IOPS speed, that's all we're really looking for. The faster the storage can be the more we can do speed of application and speed of use."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"The only major drawback is the replication between EF-Series units."
"As far as the manageability, being able to port between the two and have to do less training in-house from a customer point of view, that would be the part to improve."
"We need a center related to NetApp in Egypt so that we can deal with them directly."
"The price of the All Flash solution is very high."
"This solution has limited storage."
"The dashboard could be simplified."
"Better support technicians for CAPP."
"We have used IBM previously. We found that the storage from IBM was poor and we chose NetApp EF-Series All Flash Arrays because it can scale very easily."
