We performed a comparison between HPE Alletra and VIOLIN QV2020 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."We like the data reduction rates. That has been really helpful. You get 4U of Pure storage replacing something like two racks of spinning disks. One of the things that has contributed to that are the data reduction rates."
"The most valuable features are the replication of data and the continuous snapshot that we can take from the disc."
"It's reduced our overhead management time on storage, since it is so simple to get in and just provision a volume, present it to the host, and then you are done."
"The speed of the Pure FlashArray is very, very fast and nothing in the market can compare to it."
"The data reduction technology part of the scalability has been impressive, like its ability to host additional workloads, volumes of data, and databases."
"We find the ease of usability and setup valuable."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most comfortable pricing, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"Their REST API is wonderful, well-documented, and easy to use."
"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 offers rich features and high speed for transferring data."
"VIOLIN QV2020 is the latest in terms of performance. It has high-speed data access and processing capabilities, distinguishing it as a leader in its storage solutions category."
"It’s simple to use hardware to fix performance issues. Our issue is poor coding/queries. This greatly speeded things up. It’s too costly to track down poor programming in applications. The price of a developer’s time to scan through all the coding is high compared to buying Violin."
"The time-to-market could be better at times, but I think that's true for all vendors of hardware."
"The price could be better."
"Some services could be inserted directly into the SAN, so Pure Storage could complete with the HyperFlex."
"The number of Filesystems is limited, which it is not on the EMC VNX."
"Self-backup is the only feature lacking in this solution."
"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."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve by being more secure."
"Had some issues with Purity not being entirely compatible with VMware ESXi."
"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."
"VIMM replacement is poorly designed. You have to slide out an entire drawer, remove the cover and then pop out the failed VIMM. I would like to see a front replacement just like with hard disks. This leaves room for error; for example, when you slide it out from the rack, you are moving cables along the cable management arm. This leaves the possibility of accidentally unplugging a cable from the array if it is not seated properly. Also, you might pinch the cables when sliding it back into the server rack."
"I set up Wi-Fi for storage, and since then, we haven't experienced any interruptions in service."
