Pure Storage FlashArray Reviews

It's easy to use, and the maintenance upgrades to get free controllers work really well.

It's stable.

It's scalable to our needs.

The deployment is very easy. It's quick.

All storage is expensive so any price improvement would help.

We always consider other storage options.

I would definitely suggest this solution to a colleague because of the ease of use. Also, the controller upgrades, compared to Pure's competitors, are huge.

We have about 1,000 users using the product in our company.

Our primary use case of this solution is for the fast storage and database. 

This solution has improved the way our organization functions through its reliability and consistent platform for storage. Has helped up to simplify storage because the management tools make everything a lot easier. 

Performance and scalability are the most valuable features for us. 

Very stable. 

It scales well. 

We knew we needed to switch because the older solution we were using was at its end of life. 

The initial setup was straightforward in the way that it was a database vacuum storage.

We used a reseller for the integration and we had a good experience with them. 

We also looked at Dell EMC and NetApp but Pure Storage performed better. 

I would rate this solution an eight. There's always room for improvement, nobody is perfect to get a ten out of ten. They do what they do well. It's not cheap but we it's for the uses that we needed. 

If you're considering this solution, I would tell you to try it. 

FlashArray is our main repository for all our VMware.

We've been using FlashArray's snapshot for backups. Their replication across sites and response time are also excellent.

When we were doing some tests, we found that there was an I/O freeze when they were switching the controller.

I've been using FlashArray for a year and a half.

For our needs, the stability was very good. 

The scalability was also very good.

The installation was pretty straightforward.

I would rate Pure Storage FlashArray eight out of 10.

The most valuable feature is replication.

Areas for improvement would be the financial operations. In the next release, I would like to see a NAS protocol included.

I've been working with this solution for two years.

This is a very stable solution.

Technical support is very good.

There are some additional costs.

I would rate this solution as ten out of ten.

We use it for storage of critical data, and for storage of replicated backups.

We use Zerto Virtual Replication software. We write all of those backups to Pure, then we use those in our disaster recovery scenarios. 

It has simplified our storage. We use it for a pretty specific use case of replicating between sites. I have two data centers, a primary data center and a secondary data center, with a Pure Storage device in each location. We do backups of critical data in both locations, then replicate them back and forth between the sites. 

The value for the storage, in the way it stores the data, but also the robustness of the product, it's very stable. And then the support that we get when we have an issue.

One to three years.

The stability is very high with almost no problems. 

Excellent. Best of any of the vendors we work with.

Everything with Pure Storage is so straightforward. It was an easy setup, and we were storing data almost immediately.

We used a third party for deployment. When we bought it, we built-in some professional services who did great work. 

We actually originally went with a competitor's product, and after about eight months, a lot of wrangling, had them buy it back from us. And then we bought similar Pure Storage product, and it's just been great.
