Brad Dyke - PeerSpot reviewer
DSRE Director Of Dev Ops/Operations (Management Executive) at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
Cloud service has streamlined daily monitoring and reporting but still needs smoother setup
When it comes to scalability, we never got to the point where we could scale it, or at least while I was there. Scalability is a tricky word. You design for it, but to actually do it because you have a real need tends to take more time to come into fruition. I wasn't there when that scalability test was done. In terms of using the real-time performance analytics feature of CDW Managed Cloud Services, I think it was something a little different when I was working with it. Maybe it was termed differently. We had a real-time interaction performance report that we dealt with every day. Our goal was to have the tool create information and send it to us instead of us having to look for it. We used a real-time monitoring service functionality to generate a daily report, which my SMEs would then review and take actions in accordance as necessary. When assessing CDW's security management in maintaining data integrity and compliance, you meet the encrypt state compliance requirements and the ISO 9000, which we had requirements for, including the ISNet requirements with the 128-bit encryption states and 512s on the backend for hardware. We didn't have anything else beyond that, which is pretty standard these days. We had no data penetrations during the time I was there.

Seamless upgrades have boosted reliable block performance and simplified data center operations
Using block storage with Everpure Evergreen One has helped my production workloads primarily through performance and reliability. The performance is excellent because of Pure's simple architecture with just two controllers. Everpure Evergreen One offers exceptional features, including hardware that is compact and does not occupy multiple racks in data centers. The cooling and electricity savings are significant, and the ease of management means that even someone without any experience can manage Pure. The ease of management has helped my team because storage provisioning is straightforward. You can provision storage with just two clicks without waiting. There is no spinning, no loading, nothing—just one action, assuming you have already completed the zoning and added the hosts and host groups. Everpure Evergreen One has positively impacted my organization because the Evergreen model provides a hardware refresh every three years, essentially giving you new hardware and better performance, which is one of the coolest things. From these hardware refreshes, I have seen specific outcomes including no downtime at all. I performed a controller upgrade from M series to X, and it was seamless—no downtime, just one controller replacement at a time, with no performance issues and data still accessible.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"CDW Managed Cloud Services enables us to deploy infrastructure services at our pace, not being limited by the availability of resources, providing us another team to review and monitor things for us so we can keep our team smaller as well as tap into a much larger pool of knowledge than what we have."
"CDW built things from the ground up for us, did everything for us and then handed it off and showed us how to use it, freeing up about half of our summer project time and ensuring everything was set up correctly and securely."
"What I like most about CDW Managed Cloud Services is that it is short and concise; it was about getting the configs in place, getting directly to the information we need when we need it, and then getting back focused on being profitable."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services has impacted my organization very positively, with reduced operational overhead, improved cloud performance and reliability, better security and compliance posture, and enhanced business continuity."
"Since using CDW Managed Cloud Services, we have noticed improvements in reduced complexity, enhanced security, and cost management."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services has found pitfalls and various things in the infrastructure, e.g., in routes, IP ranges, and security loopholes, that didn't need to be there. They stripped it down and went to a very flat topography, making it less complicated. So, there are less things to trip over and go wrong, which means less downtime."
"In regards to the cost of CDW Cloud Managed Services, when I consider the costs of engineering resources that can work in multi-cloud environments, the cost of downtime, and the cost of the time to reconcile complex bills from cloud providers, the benefit is immeasurable."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services acts as a security guard and doctor for my cloud."
"Everpure Evergreen One has been my go-to storage platform for years, positively impacting my organization."
"My advice to others looking into using Everpure Evergreen One is to stop looking at other solutions; you have already found the best one."
"The speed of the product is quite a bit better in performance than the previous peer environment we were running on, and it seems to have a better feature set."
"The Evergreen program is excellent, and the pricing is quite reasonable. My friends who work there are doing very well and consistently achieving strong results. Like any company, they experience occasional downturns but perform impressively overall."
"Everpure Evergreen One offers exceptional features, including hardware that is compact and does not occupy multiple racks in data centers, with significant cooling and electricity savings and such ease of management that even someone without any experience can manage Pure."
"Pure Storage has the highest Net Promoter Score in the market."
"Everpure Evergreen One has positively impacted my organization by improving sales, enhancing performance of the Pures, strengthening support, and providing our clients with more security in their storage."
"We have snapshots. We put snapshots on disks, and we can save information. In the case of ransomware, everything is in the snapshot. We have a snapshot lock on it, so it's safe."
 

Cons

"During implementation, I wasn't that impressed with their performance from a project management standpoint, especially for the prices charged."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services needs to work on the costing for the license part, making it more affordable would be beneficial."
"The infamous whiteboard still has some things to deploy from my standpoint and our primary business solution standpoint. So, there is always room to grow. There are a few security things that I would like to deploy, such as single sign-on so the email address and password are the login."
"I would like to see them improve when it comes to helping develop an interface to this environment that's more user-friendly. We're introducing people to the use of a type of cloud scenario that they're not familiar with. We have to train them on and teach them how it's implemented. Having a little bit better interface would be helpful."
"We are still waiting on one thing, but it is not really CDW. It is just something from Microsoft."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services could provide more detailed documentation for their services, expert support, and all of the benefits they provide."
"If you take a dive through their websites, it feels like they were all put together by different teams."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services can be improved in many ways, specifically in terms of operational efficiency, better management of cloud operations, and reduced manual efforts."
"It would be nice to have support in Swedish."
"I'm not sure if any improvements are needed."
"I would love to explore more options on what Pure Storage Evergreen One can offer in general, mostly from the cybersecurity perspective and air gap."
"Everpure Evergreen One could be improved by being slightly more flexible with the pricing model."
"The only potential drawback is that Pure Storage might be overkill if you don't need microsecond response times."
"Many customers report that the starting price is quite high. However, the overall total cost of ownership can be reduced over time due to features like the Evergreen architecture, which allows savings through less management and environmental benefits."
"To me, I think it's a little expensive. Then again, you get what you pay for."
"Customers are very happy with Everpure Evergreen One solutions; however, it could be improved with better prices and availability of new storage or flash arrays."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The biggest factor for us was cost, and at the time, CDW Managed Cloud Services was most efficient for what we needed."
"It is a little more complex than I would like, but I think that's more AWS than CDW. CDW actually saves us money in regards to the way they handle things. We get support without a six-figure commitment from the AWS side, and that's appreciated."
"We have used CDW’s free Recommendation Engine. That is what we use for the cost savings. It helped us find places to reduce our cloud costs."
"A lot of people see the cost, and they are like, "Well, that is a lot if we already have an internal IT person." It's like, "Well, you're not just getting that." You are getting access to resources and peace of mind, to say, "I don't have to worry about this server dying at 2:00 in the morning because these guys will handle it." I will wake up, and if there would have been a problem, it would have been addressed. It would have been notated and fixed."
"The cost is very competitive and appropriate for what we get."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services will not be cheaper than what you are doing on-premises. It will be more expensive."
"The pricing is very good."
