"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is an all-flash system, which means the data access speed is amazing while the latency is almost nothing, and it can deliver IOPS up to 16,000."
"HPE provides good support through their customer service."
"It is a stable and scalable solution with quick and efficient storage capability."
"HPE Primera is an all-flash storage product that's very stable and has a higher storage capacity. It can also give better ROI compared to NetApp."
"It is stable and reliable."
"The performance of the solution is good."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The most valuable feature of HPE Primera is its performance and simple replication."
"The stability is good. This is the number-one product in that regard."
"Nutanix has several unique capabilities to ensure linear scalability."
"The dashboard of Nutanix Acropolis AOS allows for simple management. The dashboard has all the information online about what's going on at any given time."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS makes it easy to use and manage projects and it has a good reputation."
"The best feature of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is the central management of all of our resources. Additionally, it is easy to use"
"One of the most valuable features is how well this solution performs. It's stable, aside from some patch issues, but it's great from a virtualization and scalability perspective."
"The most valuable features are easy cloud administration and management."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"The software layer has to improve."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"Some application solutions can be more acceptable on the HPE Primera site."
"The solution could prove the reporting."
"This solution would be expensive for small business and it could be priced more competitively for that market."
"One of the drawbacks of the model we purchased is that it is not running NVMe drives. Even though they say that it is NVMe-ready, it is still on the SSD drives. The model that we purchased has only eight hard drives, and only the ones on the top could work on NVMe. The rest of them are still on the SSD. Its competitors, such as EMC and Pure Storage, are moving or have already moved to NVMe. HPE should improve this solution for NVMe. HPE should also improve IOs in this solution. IOs in HPE are weaker than Hitachi and Pure Storage."
"On the controller side, I would like to see NAS capabilities."
"The solution could improve by having seamless migration from other storage systems. The process should be made easier."
"There are certain shortcomings in the technical support offered by HPE where improvements are required."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly in that sense that installation and management are still a bit on the high end."
"I would like to see them utilize the spare storage that they use as a redundant space. I feel that now a lot of resources are wasted just for standby purposes because we are using data protection. Instead of utilizing those resources only when something happens, they can have an alternative so that we can utilize these resources all the time."
"Nutanix can be a bit complex to understand."
"The pricing model for software and hardware subscription renewals can be improved."
"The GUI of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could be improved that can be done from the OEM side. It's a very basic stable web browser that they're using. It is not very inclusive."
"We'd like to have more resource management."
"In the licensing, it needs to be clear about features because it is not clear whether Flow is integrated or not."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve by adding some NAS features, similar to the ones that are available in the NetApp solution."
"Notifications could be improved as they're not currently very useful."
