IBM FlashSystem Reviews

We use this solution for database system storage in our organization.

The most valuable features are flexibility and performance.

The Data Reduction Pools (DRP) support could be better.

I have been using this solution for many years.

The solution is stable.

I have found the solution to be scalable.

We have approximately 1,000 users using the solution in my organization. 

The installation is straightforward. The solution is delivered with an operating system, which can be updated in about half an hour. 

We did the implementation ourselves.

We have 10 technicians that do the maintenance for the solution.

The solution requires a license and could be less expensive.

I recommend this solution to others.

I rate IBM FlashSystem a nine out of ten.

I use it for virtualization and databases.

It is simple but stable storage. I use the Snapshot feature.

It is very stable.

Excellent.

I have never used technical support for this solution. I haven't needed support.

I did the initial setup based on the documentation it came with. It was very simple.

I looked at Dell and HPE solutions. I probably wouldn't buy a 3PAR but it does have more features than Storewize.

My most important criteria when selecting a vendor are price, stability, support, and scalability.

I would rate this solution a seven out of 10. It is a good storage solution, but there many other options out there with more resources.
