Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"The Pure1 component is most valuable at this point in time when comparing it with EMC. Pure1 is where you can have your diagnostics in the cloud, so you can look at things from your mobile phone."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"The most valuable features of Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its superior performance compared to other flash tiers, as well as its ease of use, with an intuitive user interface that is simple to deploy and use."
"The standout features for us in Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its robust DDoS protection, seamless transparent failover, and failback capabilities ensuring high availability."
"It is very easy to install and configure. It has got excellent diagnostics. If you really need to see how the box is performing, the console gives you a lot of information. You can set thresholds as well as alerts based on the thresholds, which is a very powerful functionality. They are very proactive. They know how to monitor and manage the systems. They see a problem, and they are all over it before us. They see the problem before we see it, which is very good."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"It is fast and reliable. It works."
"It simplifies building out the storage."
"The reliability is very good."
"I never have to worry about its performance or if it is the root cause of an issue."
"The most valuable feature is its speed."
"The most valuable features are extremely low latency, high IOPS with VMware, inline deduplication and compression."
"Technical support has been amazing."
"The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are simplicity, ease of use, and dashboard management."
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"It’s very good at IOPS."
"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production."
"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"We have run into a couple of instances recently where we are running out of space. So we have had to buy some more packs for it and they have deployed fine and it has increased smoothly."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"In the next release I would like to see integration into other third-party player providers like Google."
"It took us a year to get it to stabilize and to get the best out of Pure."
"I’d love to view the average, minimum and maximum performance in the reports (Analysis tab - Performance) but it is only graphics and you need to export data in CSV to find this information."
"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."
"Its price needs improvement. Its price is almost double than any other flash storage solution."
"This product has only two active controllers, whereas other solutions can have more. This is something that needs to improve."
"I would like to see a Nagios monitoring plugin which watches the health and performance of the system. The only one available just checks volume capacity."
"We've had it in place for about a year and a half and have had zero complaints, other than that box-to-box replication is not encrypted."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"More cloud integration."
"Speed of our VDI machines. We have a very high log in and log out ratio and machines are being refreshed instantly so we have a constant boot storm on our storage."
"On the software side, I suggest adding integration with backups software like CommVault Simpana or Veeam where these products can integrate with the array and trigger things like snapshots for backup, etc."
"I would like it to have the ability to store data other than virtual machines. At the moment, you can only connect VMs to it, and that’s a bit disappointing."
"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."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"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."
