Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The solution is scalable."
"The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"The Pure1 component is most valuable at this point in time when comparing it with EMC. Pure1 is where you can have your diagnostics in the cloud, so you can look at things from your mobile phone."
"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"Not only is it high performing, but it is also more compact and fits better in our storage arrays than equipment from other storage providers."
"The quality of the service and management tools let us make contractual guarantees for storage performance for customers. That's something we couldn't do before."
"We use a platform as a service and have multiple application vendors who comprise that platform. There are moments when those application vendors put the blame on us. By working in InfoSight, I am able to say, "No, it is not us." I can actually provide proof, either by using screenshots or through reporting."
"Even if one control fails, it automatically turns on the other controller and everything moves from one to the second instantaneously without any issues."
"The deployment is fast."
"Any updates are just part of your subscription, so you don't have to buy add-ons for new features. You're continually adding value to it."
"InfoSight. It's AI for the data center. It's very easy, it does a lot of the work for the customer... InfoSight and the whole system, help them to deal with troubleshooting."
"Regarding their support, you always get through to somebody who knows exactly what they're talking about."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"I like Tintri's Global Admin feature and the solution's performance. It's incredibly fast storage, which was a significant upgrade for us when we deployed it seven years ago. The Tintri snapshots are brilliant and incredibly reliable."
"It’s very good at IOPS."
"The ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"We need better data deduplication."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"The software layer has to improve."
"We have run into a couple of instances recently where we are running out of space. So we have had to buy some more packs for it and they have deployed fine and it has increased smoothly."
"If they could reduce the cost, that would be ideal."
"Nimble Storage could increase its flexibility by adding more protocol options. Nimble mainly uses fibre channel protocols, whereas many other storage arrays support fibre channel, iCSI, and NFS protocols."
"Scalability, in terms of being able to scale out, is not easy and should be improved."
"We have had some stability issues with one array which has happened twice during subsequent software updates but is due to a bad Postgres database."
"The quality of technical support depends on which member of the support team you speak with."
"There is a new version of the Nimble and 3PAR systems called Alletra and they have a lot of new features."
"The backup solution that they are using now probably has not been deduped."
"The stability can be improved."
"The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
"I would like to be able to add more storage capacity to our 2 units down the road with out buying an additional seprate array."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"On the software side, I suggest adding integration with backups software like CommVault Simpana or Veeam where these products can integrate with the array and trigger things like snapshots for backup, etc."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
