We performed a comparison between Dell PowerMax NVMe and Fungible Storage Cluster based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Hitachi Vantara and others in NVMe All-Flash Storage Arrays."Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"It's helped us because we've changed fundamentally what we talk about. We don't talk about storage and different tiers of storage anymore nor do we talk about servers. We talk now about applications and how applications impact the business and end users."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"It is very easy to install and configure. It has got excellent diagnostics. If you really need to see how the box is performing, the console gives you a lot of information. You can set thresholds as well as alerts based on the thresholds, which is a very powerful functionality. They are very proactive. They know how to monitor and manage the systems. They see a problem, and they are all over it before us. They see the problem before we see it, which is very good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"The SRDF replication piece is probably the best feature. It's useful for maintaining recoverability in the event of a disaster."
"You can use PowerMax for all workloads and consolidation. We have used it to scale thousands of VMs."
"The speed and the compatible interface with IBM are the most valuable features of the PowerMax product."
"The most valuable feature is its global cache, which allows for uncompromised performance."
"We use ESRS for our call-home, and a lot of times, Dell EMC will respond to the issue before we even know it."
"Uptime by far is the most important thing, and also the replication ability (SRDF). Most of the customers who need this type of availability also want the protection of multiple data centers, and it is able to easily switchover workloads to their other data centers."
"I have been highly satisfied with the resiliency and scalability of the solution."
"We are able to provide storage at the right service levels without overmanaging it."
"The most valuable features are that it is easy to implement and configure, easy to use, and really reliable."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"We need better data deduplication."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"Every time I think of something that needs to improve, they're one step ahead, which I love. The only area I wish to see improve, I believe is coming, is in the FlashBlade product. Blade implementation fell short on a few of the services."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"The initial setup could be easier."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"Setting up PowerMax with VMAX is always complex."
"We have had some trouble with the VMAX-to-PowerMax migration, but the VMAX box will be powered down after the migration. The PowerMax boxes are working fine and we don't have any issues with them."
"We brought up this question to the implementation engineer. We were comparing use cases where a customer is using RecoverPoint, then goes to PowerMax. In our previous setup with XtremIO, we were using RecpverPoint and keeping snapshots for 30 days, every few seconds. With PowerMax, I requested this for every 15 minutes, keeping it for a week. The engineer's answer was, "There will be too many snapshots. It might slow down the system." This is specifically for the use cases where there is RecoverPoint. While PowerMax works with RecoverPoint, and you can use it, there should be some way where you can have even more snapshots and not to worry about performance and system cache."
"The initial setup was complex, and we had experienced people working on it."
"The price cap of Dell PowerMax NVMe is very high."
"There is room for improvement in terms of integration with various service providers for public clouds."
"The security and reporting could be improved."
