Supports efficient storage management through volume snapshots and offers reliable non-disruptive upgrades

I have no specific improvements to suggest for Pure FlashArray X NVMe at this time. The performance statistics could be enhanced. I can see the performance statistics in the Pure Storage console, but it does not show the performance by 4K byte unit. It displays IOPS and bandwidth, but IOPS is about real use, and I want to know how many IOPS are currently running in 4K byte units. I cannot see that IOPS because most storage systems report their performance by 4K byte unit. I want to see Pure Storage performance by 4K byte unit to compare with other storage or other internal NVMe SSD.

Offers flexibility and top-notch technology

You can go to bed peacefully if you have a NetApp. If you have NetApp within your data center, you get to know about power failure if you are using it. Your NetApp will still come alive. Even if it does not come alive, I can say that it is not like other tools when it comes to dealing with power failure. The tool is affordable, and the technology is top-notch. It is the only technology that has software for what we call inline compression and deduplication. All the products under NetApp are aiming to use AI. I know that you can achieve whatever you want to do with NetApp EF-Series All Flash Arrays. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Vm-aware storage has simplified vmware management and delivers strong deduplication and savings

There are many good features for Tintri VMstore T7000, especially its nature of understanding VMware. It is VM-aware storage, which is a very good characteristic. When any VM is moved from one host to another host, there is no way to see where it is running. It is very smooth in action. Trintri VMstore T7000 is totally autonomous. We have integrated it with our virtualization environment, so all the VMs and machines running in our environment move between one Tintri VMstore T7000 and another without requiring any manual intervention. The system can schedule resources from its own capabilities. If one Tintri VMstore T7000 becomes full, the machine will be moved to another automatically. This autonomous system is very beneficial. Nowadays, all storage comes with NVMe flash and all storage is coming with flash storages as well. Tintri VMstore T7000 is much easier to handle. We just need to integrate the whole Tintri VMstore T7000 with vCenter and all the work will be done by vCenter. If we want to check what the deduplication will be, there is a really good feature of Tintri VMstore T7000 called TGC. We can integrate all Tintri VMstore T7000 systems from one end and manage all of them from a single endpoint. The major benefit of using Tintri VMstore T7000 is its deduplication and compression ratio, which is around 4x to 5x. No other storage is giving that much ratio. This is really good and much cost-saving for the company. Administrative cost is reduced because Tintri VMstore T7000 gives us a single point where we can manage it. This is both time-saving and cost-saving.

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."

"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."

"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."

"Adding some functions to the product would be beneficial. Storage replication should be essential, and the analytics should not incur extra charges."

"Adding some functions to the product would be beneficial."

"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."

"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."

"The solution should improve its logon requirements."

More Everpure FlashArray X NVMe cons

"The pricing could be cheaper and it should have documentation in more languages, specifically, Russian."

"There could be better integration with some of our Cisco products."

"I would like to see higher-capacity drives, as they come out; I have heard that 15 TB are out on a different NetApp series. Getting those on the EFs would be nice."

"This solution does not have any compression or deduplication."

"This solution has limited storage."

"It was difficult to implement and lacks some additional features that would be useful, but as a solution fits a particular need for our organization."

"The only major drawback is the replication between EF-Series units."

"Obviously to a small, medium size business, you're probably not going to recommend it because it's probably overkill."

More NetApp EF-Series All Flash Arrays cons

"Not a fan of SyncVM being an addition license."

"A solution for SMB traffic for file sharing would have been nice to have."

"Backup integration with Veeam. I would really like to see a way to leverage storage side snapshots for this."

"The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."

"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."

"There are occasional bugs but Tintri has been good about fixing them quickly."

"Moving on to a synched and automated mirror between two data centers was not possible. We have been hearing for a month that this feature will become available."

"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pretty much everything that you need is licensed when you buy the product. Licensing to me is different than the maintenance cost, but they can bleed into one another. We buy the product, and we expect three years of support bundled into what we negotiate on our storage arrays. I would start to see maintenance costs going into the fourth year, but we're not there yet."

"With VMware, we pay $300,000 annually."

"Pure FlashArray X NVMe’s pricing is cheaper than other products."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis."

"They can tout the functionality and cutting edge technology that they have, but that's where the price tag comes in. The cost is high, but I think as they grow their business and get more customers that it will probably go down a little bit."

"We pay approximately $50,000 USD per year in licensing fees."

"Our licensing fees are $500,000+ USD."

"The product is expensive."

More Everpure FlashArray X NVMe pricing and cost advice

"The pricing of this solution is competitive with other vendors here in Egypt."

"Most of my customers pay for the license on a yearly basis. It can be expensive depending on the capacity number."

"One has to opt for a perpetual-based licensing model for one year or three years. After three years, you need to renew the license."

"Price-wise, NetApp EF-Series All Flash Arrays is costlier than Dell. You have to buy a lot of licenses separately."

"It's a lot cheaper than what the other vendors have for the same type of environment. It saves us money."

"The pricing is comparable with other competitors and similar in mid-range solutions, and for high range solutions, it would depend on our requirements or needs."

"Adding more capacity will increase the cost."

"Cheaper pricing is always good. NetApp has been doing everything the right way. They've been figuring out things really well, going in the right direction."

More NetApp EF-Series All Flash Arrays pricing and cost advice

"Prices are not cheap, but it runs."

"Performance for the price is amazing."

"Make sure that you have all licenses in one go. Options afterwards can cost extra."

"What I have heard, price-wise, is that Tinti was definitely very competitive. That's one of the reasons it was chosen for us."

"With any SAN purchase, the sizing procedure is the most important step."

"The price of Tintri VMstore is not overly high compared to similar solutions."

"It is fairly priced, but it is very important to consider the total cost of ownership over time. The solution has excellent compression and deduplication capabilities, often offering up to three times the raw capacity."

"Always could be cheaper."
