We performed a comparison between NetApp EF-Series All Flash Arrays and Reduxio [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."I like the speed, and I like the API and how programmable it is."
"Before we used Pure Storage it took 93 days of employees who run the database to back up and restore databases. The scale of deployment basically went from several days to a few minutes."
"Redundancy and the fault tolerance of the platform are the most impressive."
"At this point, I don't know anything that they could provide in a better way."
"We have tons of capacity on it."
"It is all-flash. This makes it a lot faster than the rest of what we have, as it is able to drive high I/O loads, which is big for us."
"It simplifies building out the storage."
"The scalability is good."
"This storage solution is both stable and scalable, and it works for our needs."
"The speed is the most valuable feature."
"The hardware and software of NetApp EF-Series All Flash Arrays are easy for us to use."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The replication and mirroring features are very good."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its speed."
"The management of it is very simple. that is the most valuable feature."
"With only a few clicks, I can provision or modify storage."
"The Reduxio unit is superior in its ability to recover from any second."
"One of the beautiful parts about it is the whole user interface. It's almost too simple. As an IT professional, you think, "Where are the works, how am I assured that this is actually protecting my data?" The ease of use in terms of deployment, and also the metrics that it feeds back to you are also among the many attractive features of the whole platform."
"In terms of ease of use, the GUI is quite amazing and seems to be taken from a computer game. Literally within 30 minutes, we had learned almost everything there is on the management UI and started managing the device."
"The unit has been running at 100% without an issue."
"Reduxio provides a means of backing up the data that you store in it down to one second granularity."
"We like the way the Reduxio is designed, the way the managing/operating end is just so much easier; fewer steps, more intuitive steps. It has a number of features baked into it that, in other products, are additional licensed components, like compression and dedupe."
"Reduxio offers a very simple, elegant user interface (design) to manage it."
"I had to contact customer support when a drive failed as I was doing a couple of OS upgrades."
"I would like some form of QoS implemented. As a service provider, it would be beneficial to have it."
"The solution is not cheap."
"There are scenarios with very specific functionality around VMware integration particularly to do with the way we'd like to manage LUNs in VMware. The tools are pretty good but there's room for improvement there."
"We would like to be able to connect to data tape for backup, specifically to the LTO backups."
"Most of our upgrades have not been as smooth as they should have been."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"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."
"The initial setup phase of NetApp EF-Series All Flash Arrays is not straightforward and needs improvement."
"I would like to shrink it more, if we can. The smaller, the better."
"As far as the manageability, being able to port between the two and have to do less training in-house from a customer point of view, that would be the part to improve."
"The only major drawback is the replication between EF-Series units."
"The dashboard could be simplified."
"The management interface, while very reliable, it seems a little old now and could maybe use a little modernization."
"The solution's technical support is not as good as it is supposed to be since you have to push them to get support."
"I’d like to see bigger, faster, better hardware, of course. I think that is the way the hardware is trending anyway; bigger, faster CPU, better software, fewer bugs, all that stuff. T"
"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."
"If Reduxio could manage multiple Reduxio systems within the same dashboard, or manage them as a single mode, it be very, very helpful for us."
"It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN."
"It would be nice feature if the GUI had an option to export the current unit configuration to a file or an email recipient. In case of a disaster, this way it would be quicker to get a replacement unit up and running again."
"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."
"Needs to be made easier to use with slightly older versions of VMware."
"I would love an iPhone app to monitor my system from outside the firewall."
"the only thing I would say negative about Reduxio is the cabling was a little bit confusing at first, but now that we understand it, it's easy. It was just so different from what we've seen before. That was the only hard part to get used to. The storage array is fully redundant, so there are some cross-connect cables that you have to run, from the A side to the B side, and the B side back to the A side, and we've just never seen anything like that before. But now that I understand the design, it makes complete sense. But initially it was confusing."
