We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution.""The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes.""It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights.""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.""FlashArray has some fresh efficiency features. I've never seen a storage solution with a compression rating this high before. It's at least 4-to-1 on Oracle databases. It's the best flash storage for Oracle.""The latency is good.""Technical support has been helpful and responsive.""It has good, reliable, fast storage."

"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production.""It’s very good at IOPS.""It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!""We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass.""Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly.""A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge.""Tintri VMstore is rock solid. We have not had a single issue with stability. It is also very low maintenance allowing us to concentrate on project work.""The most valuable feature is the VM management."

More Tintri VMstore T7000 Pros →

"It is very stable, even during multiple power failures.""The implementation of both block and file system storage in a single GUI provides is better situated than most other storages.""The most valuable feature is the auto-tiering, which helps in the speed of data access.""Integration with VMware""Multi-tiering, positively affects the efficiency of the storage space.""From my point of view, the configuration that I can sell is restricted to the EMC best practices. It is hard to make a mistake in a solution. It means the configuration has good performance and scalability options.""I really value deduplication and compression to save space.""Good performance for VM environments"

More VNX [EOL] Pros →

Cons
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center.""Our use cases require more multi-tenant capabilities and additional VLAN interfaces for separating different customers. We currently use it to provide storage, sometimes shared storage, to different customers, but it is less flexible in comparison to a dedicated solution.""The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive.""In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems.""I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution.""We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency.""There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features.""The software layer has to improve."

More Pure FlashArray X NVMe Cons →

"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.""Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster.""Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release.""More cloud integration.""The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great.""In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing.""We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports.""The Tintri OS and GlobalCenter software do a great job of showing you troubled VMs, however it still could be a bit more helpful in diagnosing the issues."

More Tintri VMstore T7000 Cons →

"It would be very helpful to get an automated report that shows you the size of the checkpoints and get warnings when a checkpoint is reaching either maximum capacity per a file system or hitting the ceiling on the SavVol pool consumption.""EMC VNX needs to support bigger SSDs. Next generation EMC Unity will do this.""If the VNX had embedded encryption, that would be great.""Based on our workloads, we see repeatedly in performance reports that the built-in controller (SP) cache of our VNX model is not sufficiently large, resulting in forced cache flushing.""Intel Xeon processors with under 2 GHz processing speeds could be replaced with more recent ones.""EMC VNX needs to support bigger SSD and the Next Generation EMC Unity does this.""There is no easy way to defrag a RAID group. It would be nice to be able to reduce the size of a storage pool if the storage is not needed anymore.""The CLI could be better documented, like with VMAX."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "With Pure Storage, we would like to continue seeing price reductions with flash storage. I don't think we're any different than anybody else when we continue to look to the industry for price reductions of both NVMe and traditional SSD storage. We would like to see these prices continue to decline and erode, even displacing large spinning disks."
  • "We pay approximately $50,000 USD per year in licensing fees."
  • "With VMware, we pay $300,000 annually."
  • "Our licensing fees are $500,000+ USD."
  • "As far as the licensing costs, everything is included in the license."
  • "They can tout the functionality and cutting edge technology that they have, but that's where the price tag comes in. The cost is high, but I think as they grow their business and get more customers that it will probably go down a little bit."
  • "Its price could be better. It is not too expensive, but it is the high-end cost. It is kind of a Rolls-Royce. You pay a lot, but you get a lot out of it. So, the price pressure on the way down would be great, but at the end of the day, if you need to do the work, you just pay for it."
  • "The licensing is on a yearly basis."
  • More Pure FlashArray X NVMe Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "With any SAN purchase, the sizing procedure is the most important step."
  • "The price is the price and is reasonable for the class of storage."
  • "Tintri arrays are cheaper then other vendors while still providing an excellent level of performance."
  • "Performance for the price is amazing."
  • "The cost of all the SW is well spent because it makes you save on backup and DR."
  • "Always could be cheaper."
  • "​I think it is a very good solution. You get a good bang for buck.​"
  • "Prices are not cheap, but it runs."

  • "The initial pricing and licensing are reasonable. Yearly EMC is more expensive."
  • "While EMC tends to be on the expensive side, the stability and support of their products are top-notch and I feel are worth the cost."
  • "Make sure you understand how the licensing works and that you are getting the right set of licenses if you need array-to-array replication."
  • "Over time, VNX has become pricier than its competitors, and we have turned enthusiastically to Unity."
  • "Pricing is somewhat higher, especially in Zambia, perhaps due to the low sales volume."
  • "The initial pricing and licensing are reasonable, the yearly EMC is more expensive"
  • "​Reducing dependency on JavaServer Pages​ (JSP) could improve the administrative overhead.​"
