Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Has also helped simplify storage for us. The other person we put in there, took about a week to implement. And we had both arrays set up within around four hours with a thirty minute drive time between the two locations."
"Pure is simple to set up and manage on a day-to-day basis."
"It's simple, powerful, and ready to use."
"The all-flash disc is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"It simplifies the overall management. We don't have to worry about storage anymore."
"It simplifies storage."
"Data deduplication features make it easier to manage storage and forecast growth."
"This solution has improved our organization. In the past, we had reports that were taking up to two hours and after switching to SSD storage the overall processing power dropped to half an hour. The end users saw an immediate performance gain."
"It offers rich features and high speed for transferring data."
"The tool's notable feature is that we don't need to log a case directly with the vendor. The tool has access to all the logs on-premises. This is an on-premises solution. Additionally, we can provision data as thick or thin provisioned. Moreover, it includes data grid duplication and compression features."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of deployment."
"The product is stable."
"HPE Primera has good integration. All the users are using HP servers and some systems, such as Synergy, which integrate well into the solution."
"In my opinion, HPE is making good progress and moving ahead with InfoSight, which is predictive analytics and artificial intelligence."
"The interface is simplified."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"We sold Primera to a public university, and they're happy with it. They have been using it for about four months with no significant problems."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see automated copy data management for SQL Server."
"They have a product, FlashBlade, which is their object storage integration, and that's something that we haven't integrated with yet. This might be an area for additional focus as it would play into scalability, because the very nature of object storage is that it's infinitely scalable."
"We would like to see better troubleshooting aspects. It helps us if we can find out where the problem is. Right now, it's difficult. Sometimes it's difficult to pinpoint the issue. If they had more visibility and more troubleshooting feature built into the tool that would really help."
"Beyond a certain amount of petabytes, you have to have a separate system. Basically, it's not infinitely scalable."
"The initial setup of the product is complex."
"It is not possible to create a cluster on top of multiple arrays."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"Pure Storage support could be a little better."
"It would be better if there were an option to incorporate the NVMe feature alongside other storage tiers. Currently, the system operates on Autotier but can manually peer and mix different types of drives, such as SAS and SATA drives."
"We had some issues while installing it on our servers. It required more resources while cross-checking. So, the initial setup process could be better."
"On the controller side, I would like to see NAS capabilities."
"The product's stale snapshots feature needs improvement."
"Increasing the IOPS and throughput values would make the product even better. Improving the scalability of HPE Primera is also recommended."
"HPE Primera's pricing model is an area of concern and can be considered for improvement."
"HPE Primera is not good enough as a storage solution as it does not provide a good NAS storage."
"We have not had a good experience with support from HPE Primera. They can improve."
"There are certain shortcomings in the technical support offered by HPE where improvements are required."
"We cannot use this storage for critical applications and data."
