Seamless upgrades have boosted reliable block performance and simplified data center operations
Using block storage with Everpure Evergreen One has helped my production workloads primarily through performance and reliability. The performance is excellent because of Pure's simple architecture with just two controllers. Everpure Evergreen One offers exceptional features, including hardware that is compact and does not occupy multiple racks in data centers. The cooling and electricity savings are significant, and the ease of management means that even someone without any experience can manage Pure. The ease of management has helped my team because storage provisioning is straightforward. You can provision storage with just two clicks without waiting. There is no spinning, no loading, nothing—just one action, assuming you have already completed the zoning and added the hosts and host groups. Everpure Evergreen One has positively impacted my organization because the Evergreen model provides a hardware refresh every three years, essentially giving you new hardware and better performance, which is one of the coolest things. From these hardware refreshes, I have seen specific outcomes including no downtime at all. I performed a controller upgrade from M series to X, and it was seamless—no downtime, just one controller replacement at a time, with no performance issues and data still accessible.

Flexible monthly infrastructure has simplified management and improved client cost control
Some valuable points about HPE GreenLake are that it is a managed solution in the same pane of glass. HPE GreenLake integrates well with the existing infrastructure, and it is straightforward. HPE GreenLake positively impacts my organization because it saves money and time, and it improves my sales because I have another solution to reduce costs for the client. The client may need to pay two thousand dollars to change every infrastructure in one payment, but not all clients have the total amount available. However, if it is possible to pay month-to-month for the solution, it is much easier for the client to accept the proposal. HPE GreenLake's real-time monitoring tools are good, and I really need them to improve the services.

Pros

"Everpure Evergreen One has positively impacted my organization by improving sales, enhancing performance of the Pures, strengthening support, and providing our clients with more security in their storage."
"Everpure Evergreen One offers exceptional features, including hardware that is compact and does not occupy multiple racks in data centers, with significant cooling and electricity savings and such ease of management that even someone without any experience can manage Pure."
"The Evergreen program is excellent, and the pricing is quite reasonable. My friends who work there are doing very well and consistently achieving strong results. Like any company, they experience occasional downturns but perform impressively overall."
"Everpure Evergreen One helps us to grow our business and sales; those are the two big points that we continue to offer the brand."
"Pure Storage has the highest Net Promoter Score in the market."
"Everpure Evergreen One has impacted my organization positively because, as an SI company, when we buy it in bulk and share it among multiple other customers, it helps us with the shared model and how we can handle the entire workload."
"Everpure Evergreen One has been my go-to storage platform for years, positively impacting my organization."
"Everpure Evergreen One has positively impacted my organization because it is an easy sell regarding flash storage."
"The biggest thing that it gives us is reportability; that's the critical component. By giving us a monthly bill that is expandable based on usage, we're able to report back to the organization on the value that we're actually getting out of the hardware platform."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to grow into a lower price point at some point in time."
"The fact that we can now add storage on the fly without any downtime means better productivity and scalability on demand."
"HPE has delivered on all their promises for this service."
"The most valuable feature for me is the ability to perform backups with a graphical user interface (GUI). It makes the process easy."
"By establishing a service provider responsible for backup and restore and having monthly service meetings with them, we have reduced our management effort by more than fifty percent."
"Its performance is a significant improvement over the legacy stack that we had."
"We have a service and cost model based on utilization for specific KPIs, measured by memory and storage, with no costs for CPU consumption. This approach has allowed us to manage and optimize utilization and consumption effectively."
 

Cons

"Everpure Evergreen One could be improved by being slightly more flexible with the pricing model."
"Many customers report that the starting price is quite high. However, the overall total cost of ownership can be reduced over time due to features like the Evergreen architecture, which allows savings through less management and environmental benefits."
"The only potential drawback is that Pure Storage might be overkill if you don't need microsecond response times."
"Customers are very happy with Everpure Evergreen One solutions; however, it could be improved with better prices and availability of new storage or flash arrays."
"To me, I think it's a little expensive. Then again, you get what you pay for."
"I would love to explore more options on what Pure Storage Evergreen One can offer in general, mostly from the cybersecurity perspective and air gap."
"It would be nice to have support in Swedish."
"I'm not sure if any improvements are needed."
"I am still struggling with monitoring, particularly with OpsRamp, which is not fully customized to our needs, especially for disaster recovery."
"In the GreenLake portal, I would really like to see more granularity in the costing model."
"I would really like to see more granularity in the costing model. That's the one limitation that we do have: We have a lot of departments. We want to be able to break down, in a granular way, that this department is using X amount of resources, that department is using Y amount of resources... I want to be able to tag it and say, "This is this department's fees, this is that department's fees." That way I could charge back internally to my own departments."
"The support service needs improvement. The support team isn't very active in addressing cases. It should also provide a web application."
"Unfortunately, HPE GreenLake can be sold only in Bahrain, UAE, and the Middle East, meaning it can be sold in only three or four countries because it requires certain approvals from countries where it has to be used."
"The time to receive a price when I am going to a proposal is too long."
"Part of the integration, with cutting things over to Unisys, may have hurt us a bit. We had a couple of rough implementations earlier this year. Part of that was due to some internal system changes on HPE's side. We are keeping an eye on this to make sure it doesn't happen again."
"We are still managing the VMs in our IT operations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is very good."
"It's a small cost per month compared to that one-time purchase. The big thing is if you get your one-time purchase wrong, then you are buying a lot more. With GreenLake, if we miss estimate (which with all the planning, you usually don't), we sign a piece of paper, and then they send more equipment in."
"Our first year costs were approximately $1.2 million instead of spending five to six million dollars."
"HPE GreenLake has been growing in popularity due to its subscription model. The flexibility of the solution allows it to adapt to the changing market trends towards more edge performance and workloads."
"Right now we're paying about $180,000 per year."
"If you are looking to turn some of your capital expense into operational expense, this allows you to do it. It is a good idea."
"HPE GreenLake payment model is you pay for what you use. You can purchase a yearly, quarterly, or half-year license. The overall price of the solution is a little high and hopeful there can be better margins in the future."
"Pricing is based on usage plateaus. The more you use, the more you pay."
"The price could be more flexible."
