"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"The solution is scalable."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"The initial setup is simple."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The greatest advantage is the support when we encounter incidents, as HPE's support is highly responsive."
"The performance of the solution is good."
"In my opinion, HPE is making good progress and moving ahead with InfoSight, which is predictive analytics and artificial intelligence."
"The most important thing that we had found when we purchased this product around six months back was its 100% availability and uptime."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to provide the IOPS ratio which is required by a lot of our customers."
"The most valuable feature of HP Primera is that you don't have to buy an additional product for application replication. It's a stable product. The tool is scalable. I recommend HPE Primera because it's one of HP's most stable product."
"The solution is useful for machine learning and scientific applications, including computer simulations."
"This has been one of the most reliable storage systems that I have ever used."
"It is on the expensive side."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"You cannot tag a LUN with a description, and that should be improved. What I like on the Unity side is that when I expand LUNs or do things, there is an information field on the LUN. This is the Information field that you can tag on your LUNs to let yourself know, "Hey, I've added this much space on this date". Pure lacks that ability. So, you don't have a mechanism that's friendly for tracking your data expansions on the LUN and for adding any additional information. That's a downside for me."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"We need better data deduplication."
"We would like to see VNC integration or be able to use Pure Storage with VNC."
"The software layer has to improve."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"We would like to have more flash storage and its stability. This is an area of challenge for us."
"Only HPE can manage the product."
"The IOPS and throughput could be better. That's the only drawback compared to other vendors."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly in that sense that installation and management are still a bit on the high end."
"The solution could prove the reporting."
"There are certain shortcomings in the technical support offered by HPE where improvements are required."
"The solution could improve by having seamless migration from other storage systems. The process should be made easier."
"Like most storage, we want to see flash become more and more stable. Like any flash that uses MLC or TLC techniques, over time, the more writes you have, the less usable the storage becomes. They try to plan for this and have a lot of extra space in the arrays, but over time, their performance does degrade. This is true for any flash storage."
"The read/write ratio is an area in the solution with some flaws and needs improvement."
"The write performance could be improved because it is less than half of the read performance."
