Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"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 system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"The ability to do SnapMirror or SnapVault for data resiliency and backup."
"Setup was simple and easy."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility and level of technical support."
"We can go through and do an upgrade without worrying about any issues with the process"
"The performance is outstanding when it's all Flash. That's the biggest bang for the buck that we get."
"The most valuable feature of NetApp AFF for us is its ability to manage multiple IP spaces for our customers in a shared environment."
"The business copy solution has become faster using SnapMirror."
"Switching to AFF has improved the performance of a lot of our virtual machines in a VMware environment. The number of support tickets that we receive has fallen to almost zero because of this, so it's been a real help for our virtual server support team."
"It's actually shaking hands with the workflow solutions much better than any other storage."
"Our use cases require more multi-tenant capabilities and additional VLAN interfaces for separating different customers. We currently use it to provide storage, sometimes shared storage, to different customers, but it is less flexible in comparison to a dedicated solution."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"It is on the expensive side."
"The software layer has to improve."
"Going forward, I would like improvement in the response latencies, capacity size, cache, and controller size."
"I would like for them to develop the ability to detach the fabric pool. Once you've added it to an aggregate it's there for life and it would be nice to disconnect it if we ever had to."
"FC and ATTO bridges are still needed for cross datacenter replication."
"Customer service is one area of the product line where I would love to see improvement. I have had several vendor experiences with NetApp where I faced challenges in the initial call trying to navigate the requirements of the service level expectation. Their response could be better improved. However, the final result is great. It is just the initial support level where improvement would help to effectively solve problems."
"Additional performance, additional data efficiencies, that's what everybody wants right now."
"In terms of improvement, the support could be a little better."
"They should make these features a little more affordable."
"Going forward, I would like more performance analytics on it, on the area itself, instead of using some other tool."
"It has to be flexible according to the customer's requirements. It has to be aligned with the customer business and the business environment."
