Find out what your peers are saying about MinIO, Dell Technologies, Red Hat and others in File and Object Storage."The main feature I have found to be product replication."
"The snapshots, replication, and the ability to have immutable blades are the most valuable features. You're putting data snapshots out in those blades, and they cannot be touched. Its performance is great."
"Using this solution has made our backups more reliable."
"We can capacity plan at a greater level than we used to."
"I would rate this solution an eight plus. It has has good flexibility and stability, it's easy to manage and the response time is good."
"It is very easy to use, and it is very fast."
"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."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its fast performance, especially in handling snapshots. It helps during power outages when we need to quickly move data between different data centers. It ensures efficient replication and helps maintain our data centers' uptime."
"I think the IPMI is a really good feature."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The ability to save resource is a key feature."
"The Pure Storage Orchestrator is our biggest pain point at the moment. If we can have more say in future developments of feature sets that we will need to support for our use case, that would be pretty beneficial to us."
"They need better integration with public clouds along with a better hybrid solution."
"The speed could be improved."
"On our dedupe during our initial buy, we were expecting a number a little higher like 4x. However, we are getting about 3.6. While it is close enough, it doesn't quite hit the numbers. So, this has been a challenge."
"In the realm of micro-services, I think that Pure Storage can do well if they start getting in there and making their arrays more micro-services ready."
"The feature that we're waiting on is better integration with the cell services."
"Pure Storage FlashBlade should improve on more cloud integration."
"The solution is expensive."
"There is a lack of support for fiber channels currently that needs to be added."
"The solution does not scale well."
"Supermicro blade servers are not the best. They could improve in scalability but are not really scalable right now."
