Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."It has improved my organization because now have lower latency, we get fewer complaints from customers, and we see a constant response time."
"I like the speed, and I like the API and how programmable it is."
"Having fast storage allows actual servers to perform in high capacity so we don't have slowdowns on our applications."
"The scalability is good."
"Non-disruptive upgrades: You can upgrade at anytime without worry."
"It comes with a large number of features out-of-the-box, which makes it easy for us to see problems and manage capacity."
"We put a fair amount of stress on it because we run sequel workloads and we run web applications where the same web files are hit over and over. We have had almost zero stability issues with that SAN, that has been really great for us."
"We can store more for a cheaper price as opposed to paying for larger devices and larger rack spaces which get outdated sooner and which we'd have to change every two years. It simplifies storage for us."
"It's actually shaking hands with the workflow solutions much better than any other storage."
"The system efficiency is excellent overall."
"Individual settings you can put on each individual volume, if you want to do that."
"Overall performance of the solution."
"SolidFire has seamless performance for the nodes and extensions. I also like the tool’s scalability. The product’s performance does not get affected when we scale either up or down. This is not the case with other products."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is very easy to scale up SolidFire."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its scalability."
"The most valuable feature is the performance, as well as how you manage performance on the system."
"It was not proactive communication."
"It is a bit expensive."
"Data reduction is an area that needs improvement. There is a garbage collection service that runs but during that time, system utilization increases."
"The system has dual controllers but does not have a high level of resiliency built-in."
"The internal garbage collection process has been fixed recently in some OS updates so it is more efficient but that could be just a little better."
"In terms of the future, I have been excited by some of the copy data management stuff that they're talking about building into the environment. There are feature sets where I've done a lot of automation work. So, I am always looking forward to extensions of their API. They're also talking about a phone home centralized analytics database being used as a centralized management console with a list of new cloud features, but this doesn't seem finalized."
"Just some nit picky stuff, like allowing servers and volumes to be grouped. Therefore, it would easier to work with them in the GUI."
"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"It has to be flexible according to the customer's requirements. It has to be aligned with the customer business and the business environment."
"You don't have business continuity with SolidFire. I think it could be a nice feature to have in the future."
"When you set up the nodes, we have to serial into each one of these nodes to configure the IP ranges. It's still very easy, but it's time consuming."
"There is room for improvement with a focus on creating a centralized storage system, functioning similar to AWS."
"The technical support is really bad and has to be improved."
"The inclusion of more protocols and interfaces would make it easier to integrate with other products."
"I think there is room for improvement needed with its storage capability. A bigger node is needed."
"Though it is a stable solution, its users may face some security issues at times...The security provided by the solution is one area that can be improved."
"We had some false positives, power supplies failing, and that's really been about it. We had a couple of glitches during some upgrade processes but nothing that was really concerning to us."
