Pure FlashArray X NVMe Reviews

Our clients primarily use thePure FlashArray X NVMe for their primary storage needs.

Pure FlashArray X NVMe offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates.

There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product.

I have been working with Pure FlashArray X NVMe for six months.

I would rate the stability as a ten out of ten.

I would rate the scalability as an eight out of ten. It is highly scalable, but there is room for slight improvement. It is suitable for both medium-sized and enterprise businesses.

The initial setup is very simple. Installing it usually takes around one hour to get it up and running. The total time depends on what you are putting on it, like your specific data and applications.

I would rate the product as a seven out of ten in terms of costliness.

Overall, I would rate Pure FlashArray X NVMe as a ten out of ten.

FlashArray is used for flash storage for SQL databases, like Oracle or MySQL. Oracle is the best use case for FlashArray.

FlashArray has some fresh efficiency features. I've never seen a storage solution with a  compression rating this high before. It's at least 4-to-1 on Oracle databases. It's the best flash storage for Oracle. 

Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient.

We've been selling FlashArray for a few years.

FlashArray's performance is quite good. We haven't had that many server or hardware issues with FlashArray X. We lost some drives a couple of times, but we replaced them before we got errors. FlashArray is connected to a cloud system, so it sends some warnings before you lose a component. 

FlashArray's latency is the best on the market. I don't know of another product that has latency this low. Read and write latency averages .5 submillisecond. It's good for online financial transactions using Oracle.

I have no complaints about Pure's customer service and support. I've never had a negative experience with these guys. They're always fast, gentle, and ready to help. They offer ample support, and [inaudible 00:06:16]. If you connect FlashArray X to the cloud, they will inform you about any potential issues before they cause an outage. 

We are a solution provider and we sell all sizes of Pure FlashArrays. The FlashArray X NVMe is one of the products that we provide to our customers.

Our clients with their own data centers purchase FlashArray storage because they are replacing old storage systems. They often have HP systems with hard disks and these systems are old and too slow. They are replacing them with faster systems and don't want to have additional costs every three years to renew their storage.

We also have a FlashArray for our own use.

The most valuable feature is the performance.

One of the best features is the support, which is excellent.

The user interface and reporting are good.

It is easy to deploy and administrate this solution.

In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems. They should have direct integration available using Pure APIs. Good candidates would be Rubrik and Veeam.

We have been working with Pure FlashArray storage for more than seven years.

We have not had any problem with stability, even when updating controllers for customer arrays.

We haven't had any issues in terms of scalability.

The support from Pure is excellent.

The deployment is simple. We have a single person for maintenance and they spend one or two hours per month doing it.

This is a good solution and one that I recommend.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

We use the on-premise deployment model of this solution. Our primary use case is for machine learning analytics.

It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights. 

Its agility has been a benefit for our IT organization. We are running VMware on Pure. The main driver was FlashStack. The joint solution has helped my organization through its support. 

The performance is the most valuable feature of this solution. 

We have taken advantage of the VMware integrations developed by Pure with the validated design, FlashStack CVD. The integration has helped in the way that engineers feel competent that the solution is designed correctly.

In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models.

The scalability and telemetry analytics could be improved.

The stability is good. 

It is somewhat scalable but it's not infinitely scalable. They could improve the petabyte-scale with greater capacities. 

We haven't needed to contact technical support. 

We knew that we needed to switch because our system wasn't performing so we knew we had to buy something. We liked Pure because it had a good pitch.

The initial setup was straightforward. 

We did the deployment in-house. 

We have seen a two year ROI. 

With VMware, we pay $300,000 annually. 

We also evaluated Hitachi, Nimble, and EMC. We went with Pure because they have the best pitch.

The advice I would give to someone considering this solution is, don't wait. Go for it. 

I would rate it a seven out of ten. There is room for improvement. 

We use Pure FlashArray for storing all of our data in a machine for storage purposes.

The input and output speed is crucial for us since we use it solely for storage without any special functions. We are satisfied with the performance as it is significantly faster compared to traditional storage options.

Maybe the price can be reduced since the solution is very expensive.

In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified.

We have been using the Pure FlashArray for about five years.

Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution.

The solution is very scalable as you can add capacity very easily. We have about 2000 users using the storage array.

Our licensing fees are $500,000+ USD.

VMware benefits our IT organization because of its ease of deployment and manageability.

We are using VMware on Pure, and we have implemented this because of the speed. VMware is faster, so it helps when you log in.

The cost for Pure may be high, but the reliability and scalability make it well worth the money.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
