"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"The latency is good."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"It's incredibly easy to use and greatly simplified our ability to both deploy and manage our storage subsystems."
"It's helped us because we've changed fundamentally what we talk about. We don't talk about storage and different tiers of storage anymore nor do we talk about servers. We talk now about applications and how applications impact the business and end users."
"It is efficient and very simple for our administrators to use."
"The uptime is the most valuable feature."
"The compression and deduplication are the most valuable features because of the cost savings."
"The most valuable feature is its global cache, which allows for uncompromised performance."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy."
"Enterprise Cloud Storage is the most valuable feature, along with the data services which come with it, plus the deduplication and compression."
"First, it's an enterprise storage solution. This is very important for us. Another important feature is replication."
"The response time, compared to XtremIO, is far better."
"The product's initial setup phase was good."
"The ransomware protection feature is housed in a separate unit, specifically addressing the top twenty most critical threats."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"We need better data deduplication."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"The solution does not use new versions of OS and patches. Its installation is also difficult. The solution is not as fast as other storage in the market."
"Dell needs to offer more midrange storage options with enterprise-class features similar to the PowerMAX."
"We would like more documentation, a guide to the features of the PowerMax."
"The initial setup was complex. ESRS is a very complex solution to put into our environment, because it requires external access to the Internet. That's a very tough thing for us to do, because we are a PCI and PII company. We store a lot of data for people which is personal. Therefore, going out to the Internet is not our preferred path."
"I would like NVMe to be end-to-end in the next release. Right now, it is not end-to-end."
"I would like to see more development in the cloud environment. It would be good if it comes in the cloud kind of setup."
"There is room for improvement in terms of integration with various service providers for public clouds."
"We've had a couple of little things come up, but for the most part, they've been pretty stable."
"Improvements are needed in both partition recovery and scalability."
"The configuration part of the product is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
