Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Most of the problems that we had in the past with the performance in IOPS have disappeared. It has been a great improvement for our customers' services."
"One of the features that my customers are really interested in is immutable snapshots. There are immutable snapshots to which your applications can be reverted back if you are hit by some kind of ransomware threat or malicious attack. That's kind of a key deal, and it is one of the selling points I use to point out to my customers the value and the features that Pure Storage brings to the table."
"The most valuable feature is how it simplifies the management of the SAN."
"The solution offers amazing performance."
"Performance is the most valuable feature."
"We consume less physical storage because of the solution’s deduplication and compression."
"The availability and ease of use are the big features."
"The stability of Pure Storage is very very good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its speed."
"The speed is the most valuable feature."
"Some of the valuable features include MetroCluster switchover, in terms of disaster recovery, it is easy to use, and flexible."
"Its performance is most valuable. This solution is much faster than other as well as older storage solutions. The performance of the system is very good. We are getting 50 times better experience than the older storages. We are using AFF 300. It also has native cloud integration and most of the features."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"We do a lot of in-house, application-dependent type things, where we find the different niches to the different things. Certain things they do better. We've found that it actually does very well on some of our higher-end applications."
"Compared to Dell Unity XT, what I see as an advantage in NetApp EF-Series All Flash Arrays is the fact that it is more scalable...The performance of the product is good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the performance of the database access."
"It's actually shaking hands with the workflow solutions much better than any other storage."
"I think replication is one area that still needs improvement. Earlier, Pure Storage FlashArray only had IP-based replication. There was no API-based replication, but they have enhanced the feature now. However, they need to work on API replication for C-type of arrays."
"We do have an issue with the vCenter integration. Pure Storage says it has a lot of free space, but vCenter says its completely full. This is because their dedupes are saved as space, but Vcenter still detects the disk as completely full. So, we do have an issue with that."
"I would love for them to have a hyper-converged solution."
"Its price could be cheaper. It is not the cheapest one out there, but I'm not directly involved in the figures and negotiations."
"Having something native in the Pure Storage ecosystem would make it integrated and in one single company, and we wouldn't have to work with multiple organizations."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve in the area of cryptographic information in the consoles. The user-friendliness could improve. The Pure Storage FlashArray team should come and log into the system with their maintenance credentials and then pull out the information as evidence of cryptography."
"A three wave application or multi wave application synchronization would be an improvement."
"The scalability of the solution is not as good as it probably could be."
"I would like to see higher-capacity drives, as they come out; I have heard that 15 TB are out on a different NetApp series. Getting those on the EFs would be nice."
"Better support technicians for CAPP."
"The price of the All Flash solution is very high."
"This solution has limited storage."
"The pricing could be cheaper and it should have documentation in more languages, specifically, Russian."
"I would like to have the ability to replicate data between All Flash and other NetApp storage systems."
"There could be better integration with some of our Cisco products."
"They could improve overall scalability through performance. Denser capacity, which is doable, it is what the competition is doing."
"It has to be flexible according to the customer's requirements. It has to be aligned with the customer business and the business environment."
