Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."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."
"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."
"They have really good baked in analytics to show you trends for growth history, so it does help with future planning for data growth."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is the all-flash storage performance, low latency, and efficiency of their de-duplication technology. Additionally, the ease of use is good compared to other storage systems. The features in data protection, snapshotting, and replication between data centers and sites are superior to other solutions."
"Before we used Pure Storage it took 93 days of employees who run the database to back up and restore databases. The scale of deployment basically went from several days to a few minutes."
"It upgrades in place which means we'll be using it well into the future."
"The management features are well organized and they have a very good dashboard."
"The deduplication and compression meet all of our system requirements."
"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."
"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"The solution saves a lot of storage capacity."
"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"I would like the ability to swap out the network adapters into it. So, without taking out the whole controller, I would like to be able to swap adapters. This would make things easier."
"The only time that we had problems with it was that there was a bug in the VVol implementation but, outside of that, it has been flawless."
"The price should be lower."
"I would like to see active replication. I know that it's available now but I haven't tried it yet. I hope that it works."
"I feel like there is too much automation; the user doesn't have any manual input."
"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."
"Had some issues with Purity not being entirely compatible with VMware ESXi."
"Historical analytics would be useful. At the moment, they don't have any type of application built for historical analytics."
"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."
"Agnostic backups."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
"We archive our backups on tape, so I feel like if we could somehow plug our tape drive directly into the StoreOnce device and set it up to where it would archive based on, if some kind of rules based engine or what have you, that would really be an improvement for us."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"The product's price could be better."
"The solution should continue to refine its integration capabilities. I also see they are starting to use cloud integration as well, which is good, but they should do more to integrate with it."
"We would like to see some improvements in the Veeam Backup & Replication integration. It's good, but it has a lot of room to improve. In particular around the inability to easily move data between StoreOnce appliances."
