It does not require much management once you set up correctly, so it saves time, allowing an admin to focus on other work.
Their technical support has been perfect lately, so I would give it a 10.
The support is done through email and is not that great, making it a very problematic area I've been dealing with for over four years.
I would rate them an eight out of ten.
I would rate technical support from HPE as an eight on a scale from one to ten.
There are between 5 and 10,000 people using it in our organization.
Pure Storage FlashBlade is scalable.
I encounter challenges in identifying reasonable prices during the setup cost and licensing process, especially for scalability when we need to contact different vendors for quotes to find competitive offers.
In case there is any issue with any blade, the data is moved to another.
I do not have to call HP support frequently, which indicates its reliability.
Technical support definitely needs significant improvement.
Its configuration should be easier.
One way Pure Storage FlashBlade can be improved is by having more compatibility between the FlashArray and FlashBlade.
We require a centralized image that will be replicated to any other device immediately, and all configurations and everything will come as soon as possible.
To do any customization, we need to contact HP technical support, and the process is not user-friendly.
In general, there is a 10% to 15% price gap compared to competitors.
The pricing of Pure Storage FlashBlade is expensive compared to other products I used from other companies in the past, but one benefit is that they have built-in ransomware protection.
Regarding pricing, it is okay; we needed exactly this in size, and the price was a lot lower than competitors, making it good for us.
With around 19 years of exposure in working with various servers, including HPE, I encounter challenges in identifying reasonable prices during the setup cost and licensing process, especially for scalability when we need to contact different vendors for quotes to find competitive offers.
In general, there is a 10% to 15% price gap compared to competitors.
The best features of Pure Storage FlashBlade include better throughput and better performance.
Pure Storage FlashBlade's scalability is one of the most valuable features, and importantly, it always works, allowing for seamless upgrades.
We can plug in many blades, and we can have data up to one terabyte.
The integration of storage and networking components within the HPE BladeSystem is quite beneficial as it is easily interoperable if we are using the same system for monitoring with the same software, which eliminates interoperability issues.
The scalability product is also good for efficiently scaling my organization's computing resources.
The feature I find most valuable is the ease of use.
