Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."My rating of Pure Storage is a ten out of ten because of the price for performance and footprint - the overall value."
"We also use VMware integrations developed by Pure, their plugins in our vCenter environment. They help by allowing our non-technical operations teams to deploy new data stores and resize data stores without me having to involve myself all the time to do those simple tasks."
"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 management features are well organized and they have a very good dashboard."
"The initial setup was very straightforward and very quick. It was up and running in our data center within 24 hours of receiving it."
"The solution has probably reduced my power use substantially."
"Their REST API is wonderful, well-documented, and easy to use."
"It is an SSD array that has awesome performance, low submillisecond latency, and does what it is supposed to do. It just works, which is difficult for things to do anymore."
"It's actually shaking hands with the workflow solutions much better than any other storage."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production."
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"It would be nice to have a better view of the allocated capacity on their Platform as a Service solution because we have to do some manual calculations to understand how much we are going to pay every month to use the storage that is allocated."
"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."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve the recent file storage capabilities because it is lacking a lot of features."
"The connectivity needs improvement. You do not have the possibility to have a file and block connectivity at the same time on the same machine. It has limited ability to do so."
"I would love to see a true one click upgrade solution. Right now, you have to click and schedule an appointment with Pure Storage to be able to upgrade. I would love for it to automatically download, install, and fall-over every controller as it updates."
"They could improve the price."
"The price could be better."
"In the next release of the solution I would like to see Vormetric native block encryption."
"It has to be flexible according to the customer's requirements. It has to be aligned with the customer business and the business environment."
"Their current replication is really just enough to "check the box" that they do replication. We'll probably implement Actifio, Zerto or EMC RecoverPoint for VMs for more critical data replication."
"Technical support is an area where we had several issues, and it was hard to get some support in a specific case we had. I'm not very satisfied with them."
"Their support staff just doesn't have the experience with all of the products that we're running. They don't know the 850 series like we do because it's five years old. There is a little bit of a gap, and that may just be because we're an old customer running on platforms that their staff hasn't seen. I would like to see an improvement in their in-depth knowledge of their older products."
"I would like to be able to add more storage capacity to our 2 units down the road with out buying an additional seprate array."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"Tintri's Cloud Connector currently only goes to AWS and IBM Cloud, and we don't use either because we're Microsoft Silver Partners. It would be great to get the Cloud Connector feature with Azure. If it's not already on Tintri's roadmap, that's something I'd like to see."
"What I feel would be nice, in terms of a wishlist, is scalability. Rather than replacing the whole appliance, I would like to be able to just add another unit and scale it like that."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
