MikaelHellström

IT Manager at Regin Dalarna

Has handled backup storage needs reliably and supports seamless upgrades

In environments requiring high throughput and low latency, Pure Storage FlashBlade provides high throughput and normal latency, but we do not have any application that requires low latency right now, so the latency of three to five milliseconds is considered kind of high. Pure Storage FlashBlade's ability to integrate with enterprise applications is not important for us, as we only want to present an S3 bucket for our backup, which we have done, and it works very fast. We use the Purity software's data reduction techniques; we have a backup software that compresses everything before sending it to the S3 bucket, achieving a data reduction of 1.1 to one. I would recommend Pure Storage FlashBlade to other companies because it's a very fast and scalable solution for anyone who needs it. On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution an 8.

Cloud Architect at DXC Technology

OpEx storage model has simplified SLAs, capacity planning, and cyber‑resilient recovery

The most valuable features in Pure Storage Evergreen One are the SLAs, which are tied to the kind of services that we are going to run. These SLAs govern the consumption and the reporting as well. I find it more attractive when we are tied to a specific SLA, and the VRA is providing the services within that agreed SLA, then there is no requirement for a complete capacity assessment. The entire capacity review, assessment, and recommendations come as part of Pure Storage Evergreen One solution. Pure Storage Evergreen One has a list of services which will provide the services, including cyber resilience. First, they have complete capacity management which is done by them and which will also provide us a heads up on how we are consuming the services and where these services can be improved. Second, it will also provide us some of the key attributes, such as we can take the snapshots and LUN snapshots, which will provide a cyber-resilient copy where data can be secured in case of a cyber attack. We have an option to basically recover the earliest. Third, because of this feature and because of Pure Storage Evergreen One, I am talking about the Evergreen aspect. Because of Evergreen, we also have an option to upgrade the controllers based on the SLAs. If the agreed SLAs are not meeting the requirement, we have a provision to upgrade the controllers and so on. This is giving a good feature for us to evaluate and provide a valuable proposition to the customer who wants to use Pure Storage as a Pure OpEx model.

Jeff Manuszak

CTO at EDSI

Cost-efficient, highly scalable, and installable on different types of hardware

They could improve on support a little bit. We have not had to engage their support much, but when we do have issues, it can take longer to get things resolved. We are pretty lenient as we do a lot of IT support ourselves. We are not very hard on support organizations, but when a customer has a support issue, it would be easier if the support processes were a little bit more automated. It would be beneficial to have an easier way to upload diagnostic dump files. They can make it easy for the customer to collect the diagnostic data. There can be some kind of monitoring solutions to alert users to issues with the appliance or software, making it easy for customers to monitor their systems in the field. This is especially critical because it stores customers' backups, and a failure can have significant business impacts. If a customer does not have the backups and has a disaster, they can be out of business, so monitoring is key.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of this solution are the rewrite speed and the nonstop services."

"Pure Storage FlashBlade is user-friendly. It's replication feature is great because it has active replication and active DR. That's the beauty of the product. It's a perfect solution for block storage."

"The solution is able to handle workloads and is easy to use. It allows us to actually manage the boxes in less time."

"What I like best about Pure Storage FlashBlade is its object storage functionality, plus it has fast underlying hardware. Pure Storage FlashBlade is also very stable. I find its stability one of its valuable features."

"The initial setup is pretty quick."

"The main feature I have found to be product replication."

"The performance of FlashBlade is excellent. It does not necessarily leverage the SOS API that some of the newer products leverage, but I found its speed pretty much on par and comparable. It is fast, and it does what it is supposed to do."

"The ease of deployment and management has helped us simplify our storage."

More Everpure FlashBlade pros

"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."

"Pure Storage has the highest Net Promoter Score in the market."

"The most valuable features in Pure Storage Evergreen One are the SLAs, which are tied to the kind of services that we are going to run, and these SLAs govern the consumption and the reporting as well."

"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."

"The speed of the product is quite a bit better in performance than the previous environment we were running on, and it seems to have a better feature set."

"I would rate QoreStor a ten out of ten for what it offers for the price."

"This software solution can be installed on many different types of hardware, which makes it very flexible. We can run it on virtual machines or virtual servers, providing convenience for solutions of varying sizes, from small to large."

"QoreStor has helped to reduce our backup storage requirements on-premise by at least 90%."

"Deduplication is the most valuable feature. It saves us a lot of space. When we back up 100 terabytes of data, after dedupe, it only uses maybe five to six terabytes for the disk space in QoreStor."

"Quest QoreStor is very stable compared to our previous solution."

"The features we use for the data deduplication are nice because we're able to back up a much larger amount of data, yet it doesn't necessarily take up that much data on the devices."

"QoreStor has helped us to reduce our backup storage requirements on-premises. We've been using the same devices for quite a while, and so it lets us keep using them as opposed to having to rip out all that hardware and create a new on-prem solution. The advantage here is even if we had to retire the hardware tomorrow, the QoreStor part doesn't change. We just have to have additional hardware and put the solution back on whatever hardware we pick and it'll do the same thing."

"The dedupe and compression are pretty extreme. On disk, we're getting dedupe rates of up to 65 percent of data and compression of 34 percent. When you go to the cloud, it's more like 76 percent for dedupe and almost 50 percent for compression."

More QoreStor pros

Cons

"The price of this solution could be made more affordable."

"The integration with S3 needs some improvement."

"I would like to see better integration."

"In terms of scalability, it doesn't expand out quite as robustly as some of the others, but it covers 90% of the market in what it does."

"I would like to see better integration."

"We haven't been able to use much of the cloud area of Pure Storage. We have a storage server and it would be better if it could integrate with other cloud features of this solution."

"There is some room for new features related to authentication and integration with Kubernetes, and other solution using S3 Bucket."

"In the realm of micro-services, I think that Pure Storage can do well if they start getting in there and making their arrays more micro-services ready."

More Everpure FlashBlade cons

"To me, I think it's a little expensive. Then again, you get what you pay for."

"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."

"I'm not sure if any improvements are needed."

"The only potential drawback is that Pure Storage might be overkill if you don't need microsecond response times."

"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."

"It would be nice to have support in Swedish."

"The setup of the software is definitely not the easiest thing in the world."

"The importance of support is significant to me. I was working for a service provider, and all of our customers had a Quest or warning. Sometimes the support really underperforms."

"Overall, I am happy with this solution, but a way to export configuration settings would be beneficial."

"There can be some kind of monitoring solutions to alert users to issues with the appliance or software, making it easy for customers to monitor their systems in the field."

"Overall, I am happy with this solution, but a way to export configuration settings would be beneficial. After everything is set up and configured, there should be a way to export the configuration. In case something happens to the QoreStor server, and we need to reinstall and configure everything, being able to import the configuration would be helpful. This feature does not currently exist."

"The management interface is in need of improvement. The graphical user interface (GUI) for the web management tools appears clunky, and not super intuitive."

"Support is one point of improvement for Quest QoreStor. Support is sometimes not adequate."

"They need to increase their maximum capacity."

More QoreStor cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is very expensive."

"It's a costly solution, but Pure Storage FlashBlade doesn't require additional licenses. All of the software is combined into one bundle."

"I rate the tool's pricing a seven to eight out of ten."

"In my opinion, we have paid the right price for the product. I don't think that it is too much or too little."

"I feel that the price could always be lowered."

"Support is a separate line item. Support is a different cost, but whatever your support is now, that's what you're going to pay forever. If your support's $100 today, six years from now it's $100. It doesn't fluctuate unless you upgrade it, or change it, etc."

"Our licensing is renewed annually."

"I understand that it is competitively priced compared to other brands."

More Everpure FlashBlade pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is very good."

"Its pricing model is very attractive. You have one price, and you get everything from QoreStor."

"Quest QoreStor's pricing is affordable. We evaluated Veeam, a well-known company for backup solutions, but found their pricing to be quite high. Veeam's price was almost double. For us, Quest QoreStor is very affordable."

"The cost is per terabyte, and overall, the cost was reasonable when compared to some competitors."

"The pricing is good. It is competitive for a managed services provider. I like the ability to pay by the terabyte, allowing for an incremental cost that we and our customers can afford, so the solution grows with the customer."
