Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"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."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"Xtrem10's features are more simple to implement. The integration and interface are also good."
"Dell XtremIO is good for databases and huge workloads."
"The program is very stable."
"The guaranteed sub-millisecond response time for a 4K block."
"The feature I like most about Dell Xtremio is its hardware quality compared to other vendors. It's clear they're continuously improving their research and development."
"Thin storage allocation"
"Deduplication and cloning capability"
"Linear performance – The XtremIO wasn’t the fastest in all tests against other all flash arrays, but even with a massive workload, the response time and user experience were absolutely predictable with no sharp drop-offs."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The most valuable feature is an all-flash system, which means the data access speed is amazing while the latency is almost nothing, and it can deliver IOPS up to 16,000."
"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 greatest advantage is the support when we encounter incidents, as HPE's support is highly responsive."
"HPE Primera is an all-flash storage product that's very stable and has a higher storage capacity. It can also give better ROI compared to NetApp."
"The product is stable."
"When taking into account the price, maintenance required, and performance of HPE Primera, it is an effective solution."
"HPE provides good support through their customer service."
"We have run into a couple of instances recently where we are running out of space. So we have had to buy some more packs for it and they have deployed fine and it has increased smoothly."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"We would like to see VNC integration or be able to use Pure Storage with VNC."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"The software layer has to improve."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"Get rid of the Java aspect of the GUI console."
"This solution is geared toward enterprise-level companies. Small and medium-sized businesses would find it extremely expensive."
"We've encountered challenges in integrating other products with Dell Xtremio, as it tends to be more vendor-locked. This means we can't easily explore other solutions that might work alongside Dell."
"Sometimes we don't get an immediate response from the support team. The initial POC also took a lot of resources."
"It needs a way to determine the deduplication of each LUN and what the impact would be if we were to move data from one LUN to another."
"Right now, external appliances are needed to replicate XtremIO to XtremIO, or to another EMC system."
"I would like to see more scalability."
"I believe having more replication options comparatively to VMAX (other than RecoverPoint) would be great."
"We would like to have more flash storage and its stability. This is an area of challenge for us."
"The product’s price needs improvement."
"HPE Primera's deduplication area is not as good as the one offered by Dell PowerStore, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly in that sense that installation and management are still a bit on the high end."
"The product's stale snapshots feature needs improvement."
"The solution has good performance but it could improve further."
"The solution could improve by having seamless migration from other storage systems. The process should be made easier."
"HPE Primera's pricing model is an area of concern and can be considered for improvement."
