We performed a comparison between Dell XtremIO and Pure FlashArray X NVMe based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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."
"XtremIO’s capability to run any workload without much in the way of design considerations makes this very easy to use and size."
"It was very easy and straightforward to setup."
"It has very good performance for an application which needs lower latency and a better response, for example, in microseconds."
"Very good IOPS performance"
"Initially, we faced numerous issues with our analytical systems. However, we saw performance improvement after the implementation of the solution."
"A valuable feature of XtremIO is that, in terms of administration, it's simple and manageable."
"The most valuable features are that it is fast and reliable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"The duplication algorithm allows us to get a lot more use out of less storage. We're running a five terabyte array right now and we're running probably about 30 terabytes on it. So the duplication rate is pretty phenomenal, without a cost to performance. It still runs pretty smoothly."
"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."
"One thing that should be improved is the reporting and monitoring tools. It should use real time monitoring for storage, IOPS, latency, etc."
"In the next release, the solution could have better integration and if we can host assets on the cloud, such as NetApp has the NetApp volumes, which we can host on the cloud directly called NetApp CVO (cloud volume ONTAP). Dell EMC should come up with something purely on the cloud rather than manage services."
"The implementation isn't exactly complex, but the solution should have some enhancements in it to make the process more centralized."
"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."
"I would like hardware capacity additions to be a little more flexible. The upgrade path for the existing XTremIO units requires you to purchase 2 XBricks at a time and they need to be the same capacity as the existing XBricks."
"They can improve the product by providing an HTML5-based interface instead of the Java GUI based application."
"The product could be improved by reducing the pricing and having better organization in their technical support team."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"If the customer only needs 500 terabytes and doesn't care how much data they'll put in the server, IBM is cheaper than Pure."
"We need better data deduplication."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
