Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The deduplication and compression meet all of our system requirements."
"Pure Storage FlashArray's overall speed is its most valuable feature."
"They have really good baked in analytics to show you trends for growth history, so it does help with future planning for data growth."
"One of the lesser sung advantages was when we started running our interface engine on Pure Storage. The ability to process messages and pass them through in our organization skyrocketed purely because of a disk that I owned which we were getting out of Pure Storage."
"Redundancy and the fault tolerance of the platform are the most impressive."
"It is always out of the box, and ready to use."
"The scalability options are very nice because you can scale it much better and faster. The scalability was there in the previous environment also, but this is far better than what we had before. It basically helps the user in case they are looking for more storage. We can scale it much faster."
"The technical support is very good."
"Speed and ease of use are the two most valuable features."
"We can capacity plan at a greater level than we used to."
"The product is scalable and easy to expand."
"The initial setup is pretty quick."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is performance."
"It has also helped to simplify storage for us in the way that it's easy to manage. Their automatic monitoring really helps when things break or are about to break. They see a problem coming and alert us even before our own system does."
"What I like best about Pure Storage FlashBlade is its object storage functionality, plus it has fast underlying hardware. Pure Storage FlashBlade is also very stable. I find its stability one of its valuable features."
"The ease of deployment and management has helped us simplify our storage. We also do not have to worry about capacity management as much. A lot of these things are native to Pure Storage."
"By using the BackDating option we can restore volumes based on time. It also reduces volumes and maintenance time."
"The TimeOS support and I/O performance. For instance, recovery of data from any point in time, and the speed of the unit, are incredible compared to other devices we reviewed."
"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."
"The always-on deduplication and compression is also effective and allows us to achieve about 3x savings on space utilization."
"We are getting 4.4:1 data reduction, which means we will be able to squeeze over 120TB into 2U. This is more than enough capacity for us."
"We were also pleased to learn that Reduxio also has, beside dedup and compression that actually works, the "time machine" built in, which allows you to go back a few seconds or a few minutes before a ransomware attack gets you."
"Reduxio requires zero upfront setup for backups. I get backups every single second for as long as I want with zero impact to performance."
"Instant recovery through its continuous data protection."
"I recognize it's a difficult challenge, but I would like to see them make the pricing more reasonable."
"The only time that we had problems with it was that there was a bug in the VVol implementation but, outside of that, it has been flawless."
"In the next release I would like to see integration into other third-party player providers like Google."
"The technical support is okay, but could be improved."
"The price could be better."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"We would like to integrate it more with our backup solutions."
"In some cases, we get into very in-depth conversations around movement of specific data and, what's more, chunk sizes. The documentation lacked any description or information on that."
"An area for improvement in Pure Storage FlashBlade is its price. It could be reduced. The technical support for Pure Storage FlashBlade also needs improvement. It used to be good, with more experienced engineers. Nowadays, it isn't, and it takes longer for support to solve problems."
"I would like to see the licensing fees improved as well as the price per terabytes."
"It would be nice if you could store file-based in the same box with the same technology."
"The features provided for SMB customers are limited."
"Commvault has mainly driven the Analytics, providing data and reports. However, the product has room for improvement, especially regarding storage analytics. Upgrading firmware has caused issues, requiring feature disabling to revert to traditional backups. The firmware upgrades sometimes affect Commvault backups."
"We haven't been able to use much of the cloud area of Pure Storage. We have a storage server and it would be better if it could integrate with other cloud features of this solution."
"It usually comes down to just what you hit and the value you're getting when you spend the money and license the products. I would always go, "If you want to make things better, lower your price and make your licensing simpler." There's always an opportunity around that."
"There is some room for new features related to authentication and integration with Kubernetes, and other solution using S3 Bucket."
"I am waiting on a feature set in the new version which should allow me to replicate between Reduxio iSCSI SANs for disaster recovery and also to 3rd party iSCSI SANs which are cheaper for an archive or DR target."
"We had a single failure of the device but believe that it was tied to the server losing contact with our NTP server due to DNS issues. As Reduxio is very time-dependent, losing sync made the entire array unstable."
"Would love to have role-based access and an active directory integration."
"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."
"Scalability. Reduxio has only one product, they don’t have an option, for now, to expand the storage product."
"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."
"I would love an iPhone app to monitor my system from outside the firewall."
"Maybe it should come in stainless steel, just like its DeLorean time machine predecessor."
