Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are management and administration user-friendliness, provisioning, and performance."
"The sales and executive support have been outstanding compared to the rest of the market... My upgrade paths have been simple on the Pure... It's a lot simpler to implement and a lot simpler to manage."
"It is always out of the box, and ready to use."
"The initial setup was very straightforward and very quick. It was up and running in our data center within 24 hours of receiving it."
"The management is simple in Pure Storage FlashArray."
"It's simple, powerful, and ready to use."
"The most valuable feature of the Pure Storage Flash Array is the blazing fast monitoring."
"The first year, we started out with one or five terabytes and it took what was 20 terabytes of storage down to less than one terabyte."
"It is the most stable high-end solution in this area."
"The solution provides excellent scalability."
"The most valuable feature is that you can use it with all deployment models."
"Hitachi's technical support is perfect."
"The performance is very good."
"This is a good product with high capabilities and high reliability."
"Storage is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are external storage virtualization and the 100 percent data guaranteed availability."
"Takes advantage of deduplication and compression through as much of the content of VMs which are similar."
"The biggest feature, and one of the reasons we use it with the file shares, is its continuous Snapshotting. We can go back to almost to any point in time, not only to last night at midnight or a week ago, but 10 minutes ago or three-hours-and-so-many-seconds, or whatever the case may be. We already had a brush with ransomware in the past, so it's good to know we can dial back to just before a mishap happens."
"The BackDating feature which allows us to go back to any point in the past at one second granularity, is an amazing feature and allows us to recover from any mishap to our data – whether it's a malware attack, an application error or a human error. We have never seen this capability in any other storage product."
"The always-on deduplication and compression is also effective and allows us to achieve about 3x savings on space utilization."
"The Reduxio unit is superior in its ability to recover from any second."
"We are enjoying a quantum leap in speed, reliability, and available space with this system."
"The Reduxio box has improved our resiliency and management overhead."
"Reduxio provides a means of backing up the data that you store in it down to one second granularity."
"CIFS and SMB Shares cannot be mounted directly."
"It's not so scalable. It's got moderate scaling capabilities right now. The clustering technology needs a bit of work, they need to improve that."
"Historical analytics would be useful. At the moment, they don't have any type of application built for historical analytics."
"The scalability of the solution is not as good as it probably could be."
"The higher education moves slowly. We are still looking forward to implementing the full list of existing features."
"It is way in excess of what we need. If anything, we could see a bit more speed. I'm just comparing it with what some of my colleagues who are implementing their own systems do."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"There are a lot of things to improve."
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform needs to improve its scalability options where there are a few shortcomings."
"In terms of ransomware, Pure Storage is probably a couple of steps ahead of Hitachi, but Hitachi does not rush in terms of features. They want to be really sure that the hardware works properly without any kind of problem in new environments, and the implementation or improvement does not affect the customer installation. They really want to make sure that customers are not affected in any way."
"The user interface should be made simpler because it is difficult to manage."
"The distributor needs more knowledgeable resources for technical support. It would be better to connect directly to the vendor in case of queries."
"The embedded management for installation feature has neither simplified nor complicated the management process, therefore, there is room for improvement."
"It seemed like every time we turned around it was a statement of work and we'd have to pay for something that our previous vendors would not have billed us for."
"Its usability can be improved. It can have more management features. Its management tools lack features."
"I would like to see an audit account set up such that the user can log in, see the configuration, and see the logs, but they cannot make any changes."
"It would be nice feature if the GUI had an option to export the current unit configuration to a file or an email recipient. In case of a disaster, this way it would be quicker to get a replacement unit up and running again."
"If Reduxio could manage multiple Reduxio systems within the same dashboard, or manage them as a single mode, it be very, very helpful for us."
"The only thing that I'd like to see, at some point in time, is having the storage array being able to detect a ransomware attack. When you get hit by a ransomware it rewrites every block in your guest's virtual machine. So there should be a way for them to be able to detect that: "Hey, this is unusual, to see every block of this guest being rewritten all at one time," and then flag that as potential malware or ransomware."
"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."
"I am waiting on a feature set in the new version which should allow me to replicate between Reduxio iSCSI SANs for disaster recovery and also to 3rd party iSCSI SANs which are cheaper for an archive or DR target."
"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."
"The only thing that I would point out would be the basic administration management of the machine. Everything has rights, meaning that there's either all control or no delegated control. So to sum that up, it would be a feature request for delegated management in the administrative console."
"We had a single failure of the device but believe that it was tied to the server losing contact with our NTP server due to DNS issues. As Reduxio is very time-dependent, losing sync made the entire array unstable."
