Pure Storage FlashArray Reviews

We use the space and optimize the makeup of the storage products.

It simplifies the connection between our infrastructure and storage.

The most valuable feature is how it simplifies the management of the SAN.

The product has made our infrastructure more stable and simplified.

I have not had any issues with scalability.

In the past, we had Lenovo. With the Pure Storage, it improved and simplified our connections.

The initial setup was very simple. We put it on the rack, switched it on, and it worked.

We use a reseller for the integration. We had a good experience with them.

We have seen a $15,000 ROI.

The total cost of ownership is not that much lower for flash than SSD.

I would prefer that they lower their pricing.

We only considered Pure Storage. 

My company stays focused with one solution (product) for approximately three years. Then, every three years, we make discussion whether to keep the solution or not.

I would recommend Pure Storage, as it is well-established. It also simplifies and optimizes the right space.

The predictive performance analytics are good.

We use it for storage of critical data, and for storage of replicated backups.

We use Zerto Virtual Replication software. We write all of those backups to Pure, then we use those in our disaster recovery scenarios. 

It has simplified our storage. We use it for a pretty specific use case of replicating between sites. I have two data centers, a primary data center and a secondary data center, with a Pure Storage device in each location. We do backups of critical data in both locations, then replicate them back and forth between the sites. 

The value for the storage, in the way it stores the data, but also the robustness of the product, it's very stable. And then the support that we get when we have an issue.

One to three years.

The stability is very high with almost no problems. 

Excellent. Best of any of the vendors we work with.

Everything with Pure Storage is so straightforward. It was an easy setup, and we were storing data almost immediately.

We used a third party for deployment. When we bought it, we built-in some professional services who did great work. 

We actually originally went with a competitor's product, and after about eight months, a lot of wrangling, had them buy it back from us. And then we bought similar Pure Storage product, and it's just been great.

We're providing some ESXi solutions to our customers with high performance.

We working now with VM Analytics to provide our customers some strategies about their VMs directly.

Asynchronous and synchronous replication between two data centers. Our platform is housed in two centers, and we're using Pure Storage for their replication.

We are very happy with the data deduplication and compression ratio that we have on the platform.

The console is simple to use. It has good performance. It is easy to install, understand, and manage, with a good ratio of deduplication and compression. It is doing its job.

They could improve the price.

It is very stable.

We did some add-ons months ago without any downtime.

Technical support is good. They are proactive about the upgrades and reactive when we have any issues.

Before working with Pure Storage, we were working with an SP and multi-tier solution. Most of our customers were looking for performance. So, we made the choice to have an all-flash platform with replication. At the time, Pure Storage was the only one to be able to provide some all-flash storage with replication, and replication was mandatory for our customers.

It is quite easy to set up.

We have seen a reduction in TCO.

We are basically using it for the department of space and online education purposes. We are using its latest version.

I like its speed. It has all the features that I need.

Its price needs improvement. Its price is almost double than any other flash storage solution.

I have been using this solution for a year and a half.

It is stable.

It is scalable. We have about 81 users.

I have interacted with them. They respond very fast to our queries.

I was using a Sun Microsystems product. Basically, the Sun Microsystems product is nothing but Hitachi Storage. They buy Hitachi Storage and label it as Sun Microsystems.

We tried it on our own and almost reached the final stage, but then we had some doubts. After that, Pure people came and helped us. It took about three to four hours to complete the whole installation.

We did it on our own. We had only two Admins for its deployment.

Its price is almost double than any other flash storage solution.

I would recommend this solution. I am satisfied with this solution, and we plan to keep using this solution.

I would rate Pure Storage FlashArray a nine out of ten.

Our primary use case of this solution is for the fast storage and database. 

This solution has improved the way our organization functions through its reliability and consistent platform for storage. Has helped up to simplify storage because the management tools make everything a lot easier. 

Performance and scalability are the most valuable features for us. 

Very stable. 

It scales well. 

We knew we needed to switch because the older solution we were using was at its end of life. 

The initial setup was straightforward in the way that it was a database vacuum storage.

We used a reseller for the integration and we had a good experience with them. 

We also looked at Dell EMC and NetApp but Pure Storage performed better. 

I would rate this solution an eight. There's always room for improvement, nobody is perfect to get a ten out of ten. They do what they do well. It's not cheap but we it's for the uses that we needed. 

If you're considering this solution, I would tell you to try it. 

It's easy to use, and the maintenance upgrades to get free controllers work really well.

It's stable.

It's scalable to our needs.

The deployment is very easy. It's quick.

All storage is expensive so any price improvement would help.

We always consider other storage options.

I would definitely suggest this solution to a colleague because of the ease of use. Also, the controller upgrades, compared to Pure's competitors, are huge.

We have about 1,000 users using the product in our company.
