Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."We find the ease of usability and setup valuable."
"Access speed and power consumption are most valuable."
"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 performance is very good."
"They are quite responsive and our local team was pretty good."
"There was a dramatic improvement in operating costs just as a result of the environmentals and space, let alone the cost of the unit itself."
"The console is simple to use. It has good performance. It is easy to install, understand, and manage, with a good ratio of deduplication and compression. It is doing its job."
"It allows engineers to focus on other things rather than doing the more manual tasks. It automates tasks, so the ease of use is extreme. It simplifies the storage."
"The speed and, for us in particular in what we're doing, the data de-duplication."
"Ease of use: My installers - my administrators over the system - they love how easy and fast it is to install and spin up a LUN and get going."
"Implementation of the solution is very simple."
"Inline compression"
"The capacity that we're saving by using Kaminario's K2 is giving us a four-to-one ratio for our deduplication."
"The ratio between the physical storage and the storage we use is very high."
"Built-in snapshot support gives us SAN-side functionality most other platforms would have had us license separately."
"The increased performance is many times above our previous array performance in all metrics. Integration with vSphere features is also a definite plus."
"It's actually shaking hands with the workflow solutions much better than any other storage."
"The credentials on the iSCSI interface are only available to type in with the Chrome browser, and not with the Firefox browser."
"Pure Storage support could be a little better."
"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."
"Some services could be inserted directly into the SAN, so Pure Storage could complete with the HyperFlex."
"The price of this solution could be improved."
"With scalability, I have run into a little problem with our last upgrade. There were some undocumented limitations to the number of drives that our controller could run on. So, instead of putting in a new data pack as we had anticipated, we had to keep adding and removing to get up to the capacity that we needed to be. What should have been a one day process (or a few hours) turned into a month and a half process."
"The initial setup was a little complex. We had some initial issues with the design and had to help correct some of the white papers for it, but it wasn't your standard use case."
"From a scalability perspective, it is a very small storage solution, so it's not very expandable."
"I'm hoping to see Active Directory integration. Right now, you still have to use a local admin account to log in and manage everything."
"A single pane of glass to monitor/manage multiple arrays would be helpful."
"I would like to see them work with Cisco, so it comes off the FIs, instead of having to go through my 10-gig network."
"The interface look and feel could be improved."
"The management graphical interface needs more improvement."
"I would love to see capacity on its DRAM. I know it's not cost effective for them to do it, but I think that it could be a big differentiator and was a big differentiator from the beginning."
"I would like them to improve the look of the product’s external casing and shelves."
"The system currently has a 15TB LUN size limit and that snapshots need to be scheduled through script API instead of the GUI."
"It has to be flexible according to the customer's requirements. It has to be aligned with the customer business and the business environment."
