Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Non-disruptive upgrades: You can upgrade at anytime without worry."
"The product cheaper compared to other solutions concerning the technology that they are using."
"This is the best all-flash storage array on the market."
"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."
"We've had different types of storage, and three things of this solution are valuable. The first one is its outstanding performance. The second one is its stability. In the about three years that we've had it, we've had component failures, but we never had a service interruption or any data loss. The third one, which is really critical, is that it is super easy to use in terms of provisioning, storage, and managing the arrays. I'm able to maintain a multi-site environment with a couple of dozen arrays with a single mid-level storage admin."
"I like the speed, and I like the API and how programmable it is."
"The deduplication and compression rates are beyond impressive."
"The mobile app is very helpful."
"The performance has been fantastic. It has not had many issues whatsoever, and what issues they do have, the support picks up on it quickly. They send us tickets saying that they are doing work without us even having to engage them."
"Being able to snapshot things for backup purposes has been key. We do that on our databases four times a day."
"The InfoSight feature helps us with troubleshooting problems in our environment."
"It's a really stable solution. We have no problems with the customer, no negative feedback from them on this."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ has been stable."
"The command line is very extensive, a lot of tools so in comparison to other vendors. It's one of the great things about 3PAR, that you can really drill down on performance, get statistics, really know how your system is internally performing."
"The remote copy group failover is very useful and has helped us."
"The solution is stable."
"This has been one of the most reliable storage systems that I have ever used."
"The solution is useful for machine learning and scientific applications, including computer simulations."
"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."
"I would like a feature to integrate with external or cloud solutions. For example, if I want to use this storage for a backup from the cloud, I want to have integration with the cloud vendors, such as Microsoft, Oracles, or Amazon. It could be available as an API to allow seamless integration. Additionally, the solution could improve by having native integration with a cloud provider, such as VMware or Microsoft, this would reduce the need to use third-party solutions to complete the task."
"The credentials on the iSCSI interface are only available to type in with the Chrome browser, and not with the Firefox browser."
"Some services could be inserted directly into the SAN, so Pure Storage could complete with the HyperFlex."
"Its price could be cheaper. It is not the cheapest one out there, but I'm not directly involved in the figures and negotiations."
"I want to learn more about command line usage which I have not explored much yet. However, there are many automated solutions for repetitive tasks. I would like to see additional features like performance monitoring, configuring of alerts, and the customization of alert thresholds in the next release."
"Historical analytics would be useful. At the moment, they don't have any type of application built for historical analytics."
"We need to add more storage in Pure Storage FlashArray with the cluster mode activated for us to have better performance."
"We are waiting for compression."
"I would like to see the reliability improve. While it has been a good product, the QA of the product could be done a little more thoroughly."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ's pricing could be cheaper."
"They should add AI-enabled dashboards to the solution."
"A lot of tasks, you have to manually set up. They need to already have them set up and working. Then, you can just go in and tweak them if you need to."
"From an overall perspective, all the latest technologies can improve support and performance. This is very important for us."
"We need additional enhancements to InfoSight, especially from a VM standpoint. Today, we can see in the Azure VM performance stats in 3PAR, but it is so huge, we can't just drill down on each and every VM and look at its performance."
"I would like the documentation easy to find. There is a lot of documentation, but sometimes it is hard to find. You have to do a lot of searching to find it."
"The read/write ratio is an area in the solution with some flaws and needs improvement."
"The write performance could be improved because it is less than half of the read performance."
