Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."I never have to worry about its performance or if it is the root cause of an issue."
"The top-tier support and reliable storage are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The most valuable feature is its speed."
"They are quite responsive and our local team was pretty good."
"It helps to simplify storage. For most of our customers, when they move to Pure Storage, storage becomes an afterthought."
"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."
"Data deduplication features make it easier to manage storage and forecast 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."
"The scalability is straightforward."
"InfoSight is helpful because it is proactive support."
"InfoSight. It's AI for the data center. It's very easy, it does a lot of the work for the customer... InfoSight and the whole system, help them to deal with troubleshooting."
"Nimble's support is awesome and one of the best. You sort of get a Tier 3 plus guy every time that you call, no matter if it is a Tier 0 issue. This is super helpful in case we ever have problems."
"I have found the convergence rate and deduplication the most valuable features."
"The storage capacity efficiency is phenomenal. It is off the charts in comparison to the compression ratios that we got before. We are able to save a lot more to the device."
"InfoSight has allowed us to centralize our management, understanding how it correlates to the array. It has identified a network issue in the network configuration of ESXi hosts. It enables us to get servers back up faster by 25 percent."
"Their tech support is very professional, know their products, know what they do, and they are very informative in terms of keeping the customer updated."
"It's actually shaking hands with the workflow solutions much better than any other storage."
"This product has only two active controllers, whereas other solutions can have more. This is something that needs to improve."
"I would rate this solution an eight. There's always room for improvement, nobody is perfect to get a ten out of ten. They do what they do well. It's not cheap but we it's for uses that we needed."
"One thing I'd like to see in a future release is integration between their main storage array and what they call their FlashBlade product; to be able to snapshot directly from the primary array into multiple different backup copies on FlashBlade."
"If we suddenly dump large amounts of data onto the storage system, it takes a while to process it."
"We haven't seen ROI yet."
"Automation could be simplified."
"I would like to see the NAS add-on component become more fault-tolerant than just a single virtual machine running inside the array. I'm unwilling to use it for that reason."
"There are a lot of things to improve."
"There should be faster interfaces."
"In the future, I would like to see a lower-end model that has Peer Persistence functionality."
"It was a bit expensive."
"The only thing I'm really looking for in my next array is some hyperconverged, so if they had something in that space... But I know they have SimpliVity so that is probably not going to happen."
"We are doing a hybrid and are moving some machines to Microsoft Azure to run in hybrid mode. We are checking the availability of extra software-defined storage so that we can configure it."
"We want to start storing data in the cloud really soon and we are looking at options."
"We face challenges with hardware delivery."
"HPE Nimble Storage could be improved with some critical application or servers."
"It has to be flexible according to the customer's requirements. It has to be aligned with the customer business and the business environment."
