"There have been no fail-stop failures for the last five years."
"It is very stable."
"The performance of the All-Flash System is very good. There is more enhanced performance and data production in the solution, which I appreciate."
"At the FlashSystem level, customers are especially fond of multi-tier and distributed rate systems, particularly the dynamic rate six arrays."
"IBM FlashSystem has been stable in our operations."
"User friendly management interface."
"This solution is really user friendly. It also offers good performance and is highly reliable."
"It's a mature product. It's like a BMW that evolves consistently."
"Virtualization of external storage, while adding cache and speed to the external storage."
"Data deduplication is one of the most valuable features of this solution."
"Performance could probably be improve with faster controllers, but it is already an old device. We do have performance problems now, but it is a rather old device, so we have what we have."
"Their technical support needs improvement in terms of reachability for the clients and response times. They should be more responsive and have more online platforms for support. They should make more technical information available online. There could be some kind of documentation community."
"The design is a little old-fashioned and could be updated. The rack is very primitive and designed in an older style."
"The product needs to improve their scalability."
"The generic functionality of IBM FlashSystem, IBM always dismisses using file share or sharing protocols inside their storage hardware, and they only focus on the block-level storage."
"I know they have a flashcopy manager, but it is extra software, an additional license, and some customers don't like to add addition costs to their infrastructure. If IBM could create, or include snapshot management within the GUI, that would really be helpful."
"The solution's pricing is a bit high so there is room for improvement."
"In the next release having the next level of high-speed performance would be great."
"The solution's infrastructure technology level could be PCI Express 5 instead of PCI Express 4 for the next version."
