Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."I like the speed, and I like the API and how programmable it is."
"It helps us maintain uptime much better than other solutions we've used in the past, and the support is extremely quick and responsive."
"The deduplication and compression meet all of our system requirements."
"The solution helps to simplify storage."
"Technical support is good."
"The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are the management view of the solutions, ease of provision, and deprovision, it is fantastic."
"The compression and deduplication features help to make the best use of the capacity."
"The most valuable feature is its speed."
"The high performance of flash storage is especially valuable to us."
"Overall, the solution is strong, easy and fast."
"The customer service and support are reasonably good. The environment I work in, there always remains an element of surprise, and there are restrictions. But Hitachi has good technical people."
"It's best features are its reliability and stability."
"The active-active option seemed to be working well and overall, it was a solid product."
"This is one of the most reliable and dependable products on the market."
"The product offers high stability."
"It's a state of the art solution in storage systems. High-availability and performance are the strongest aspects of these machines."
"It's actually shaking hands with the workflow solutions much better than any other storage."
"From a scalability perspective, it is a very small storage solution, so it's not very expandable."
"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."
"We do have an issue with the vCenter integration. Pure Storage says it has a lot of free space, but vCenter says its completely full. This is because their dedupes are saved as space, but Vcenter still detects the disk as completely full. So, we do have an issue with that."
"Some services could be inserted directly into the SAN, so Pure Storage could complete with the HyperFlex."
"What it needs to do is work a little closer with solutions, like VMware, so it understands the particular workloads that are on it. Today, it does not understand the applications which are running against it."
"Had some issues with Purity not being entirely compatible with VMware ESXi."
"In terms of the future, I have been excited by some of the copy data management stuff that they're talking about building into the environment. There are feature sets where I've done a lot of automation work. So, I am always looking forward to extensions of their API. They're also talking about a phone home centralized analytics database being used as a centralized management console with a list of new cloud features, but this doesn't seem finalized."
"The higher education moves slowly. We are still looking forward to implementing the full list of existing features."
"There is a drawback related to Hitachi's configuration flexibility. The Hitachi storage platform solution is not flexible. That means that both the Hitachi and the partner presale guys have to do a lot of work to design a solution."
"The life-cycle of the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is too short. We only had approximately four or five years out of the solution before it was rendered its end of life."
"In the next version I would like to see additional features like artificial intelligence and an increase in the amount of data it can store."
"The controllers in the product do not provide options for scalability."
"The deployment could be a bit easier, because it's a bit tricky"
"We moved away from this product because we were looking for an all-flash solution, and with our G1500 at the time, perhaps two years ago, they were just proposing more of the same technology."
"For mission critical issues the performance is low."
"We've only faced some minor issues. For example, the documentation of some features isn't as detailed as we would like."
"It has to be flexible according to the customer's requirements. It has to be aligned with the customer business and the business environment."
