We performed a comparison between Reduxio [EOL] and SolidFire based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The performance is very good."
"It's actually very stable"
"We've been using FlashArray's snapshot for backups. Their replication across sites and response time are also excellent."
"The solution helps to simplify storage."
"It does efficient work of storing data while still delivering the performance that you would normally expect from a higher priced solution."
"It's reduced our overhead management time on storage, since it is so simple to get in and just provision a volume, present it to the host, and then you are done."
"The sales and executive support have been outstanding compared to the rest of the market... My upgrade paths have been simple on the Pure... It's a lot simpler to implement and a lot simpler to manage."
"Provides fast access and is user-friendly."
"Improves the response of the VMs by having the most used portions on the flashcache."
"We are able to recover to the second, if needed, our data. This greatly improves restore capability, for example, if there is a cryptolocker outbreak or data loss."
"The unit has been running at 100% without an issue."
"It needs integration with cloud vendors for remote storage, and to be able to restore a single machine from a specific volume."
"One of the beautiful parts about it is the whole user interface. It's almost too simple. As an IT professional, you think, "Where are the works, how am I assured that this is actually protecting my data?" The ease of use in terms of deployment, and also the metrics that it feeds back to you are also among the many attractive features of the whole platform."
"Most storage arrays when you buy them, they call it a "forklift upgrade," where a forklift comes in there and pulls out the old storage, and brings in a new storage. But with Reduxio, it can use all your old storage arrays, whether they're NetApp, or IBM, or EMC, or HPE, as targets for doing backups."
"The machine has been easy to use."
"Ease of user interface: prevents distractions and confusion when dealing with real-time catastrophes and high-pressure situations. Overall, it extremely easy to use. My team was trained within less than two hours."
"If we get complaints about any kind of performance metric issues, whether it's storage related or something on the virtual side, we use it to pinpoint what the actual issue is."
"Being able to provide quality of service as promised."
"Individual settings you can put on each individual volume, if you want to do that."
"SolidFire provides seamless performance across your storage system when you need to scale up. Other storage systems do not do that."
"The dashboard is such that you don't need to be a storage expert to administer it."
"Feature-wise, it is a good solution allowing users to monitor and simplify their networks. The solution also provides its users with flexibility by enabling them to utilize its extensions."
"Greater IOPS, speed, it's all-flash. So seeing that everything is going to all-flash, all SSDs, SolidFire fits right in there with the emerging trend in IT."
"Overall performance of the solution."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"It goes at about 95 percent, so we have had some performance issues. It is hard to clear them."
"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."
"I would like to have support available in Spanish."
"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 by being more secure."
"When we were doing some tests, we found that there was an I/O freeze when they were switching the controller."
"The initial setup of the product is complex."
"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."
"Integration is needed with other virtual vendors like VMware, Veeam, Hyper-V; that integration needs to be deeper, not just the way that they're using it now. I know that it's under development, but I think this is one of the disadvantages, for now, as a young company. They have to work with the other players on the market."
"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."
"Scalability. Reduxio has only one product, they don’t have an option, for now, to expand the storage product."
"The user interface for the web console could be more user-friendly, while it is flashy, how to find functions is not necessarily obvious."
"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."
"They're trying to do this, but they need to show more what their growth plan is, the development, what the next steps are, the future."
"the only thing I would say negative about Reduxio is the cabling was a little bit confusing at first, but now that we understand it, it's easy. It was just so different from what we've seen before. That was the only hard part to get used to. The storage array is fully redundant, so there are some cross-connect cables that you have to run, from the A side to the B side, and the B side back to the A side, and we've just never seen anything like that before. But now that I understand the design, it makes complete sense. But initially it was confusing."
"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."
"The inclusion of more protocols and interfaces would make it easier to integrate with other products."
"It would be good to provide administrative access at the root level to be able to do things with the system, if need be."
"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."
"I would like to see integration with the cloud, number one. Being able to spin SolidFire in the cloud."
"So feature-wise, I would say more reporting tools that could be merged into it."
"SolidFire could improve in terms of hardware robustness."
"They could do a file-based NAS: SolidFire NAS-based. It's probably not its niche, but that is our direction, not to use block, and it's block. Solid state block is what it is."
