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.

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.

"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."

"I appreciate the performance."

"Everything works well, and it is very fast."

"After the testing, it was clear to us that the Pure FlashArray X NVMe was the easiest to manage and configure and had the best performance that we had seen in all the arrays."

"Its speed is superior to our existing Unity x00 model and it has performed substantially better than our x00 model and a little bit better than our x50 model."

"The tool's valuable features are speed, security, data compression, and reliability. Its data compression feature is the best that we have ever seen. It helps us to save money and resources."

More Everpure FlashArray X NVMe pros

"The most valuable feature is the performance, as well as how you manage performance on the system."

"Being able to provide quality of service as promised."

"All those solutions just didn't compare with what we could do with SolidFire in terms of performance, support, product stability."

"The quality of service for minimum iOS, to maximum iOS in a multi-terminal environment is very powerful. The SQL service feature is the best part of SolidFire."

"I would say in terms of architecture and in terms of functionality, the product is quite good."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its scalability."

"It's a very compact device. For a medium-sized business, it's very helpful because the device is efficient and very fast."

"It's got full API functionality and the performance is pretty steady."

More SolidFire pros

"I like Tintri's Global Admin feature and the solution's performance. It's incredibly fast storage, which was a significant upgrade for us when we deployed it seven years ago. The Tintri snapshots are brilliant and incredibly reliable."

"Fast deployment for virtual machines"

"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."

"Customer Service: A+ excellent! Love my Tintri guys."

"In the VDI environment, the "VM-aware" T5060, along with its extremely fast speeds, has removed storage as your typical bottleneck."

"Hands down one of the best investments that we have ever done."

"You can ask for a deployment test with Tintri, and after you test it you will like it, its deployment is really quick and simple, and no other dashboard is needed because you can see the behavior of your storage and the IO performance at the VM level."

"Everyone says wonderful things about what their storage can do but Tintri actually delivers on the promises they make."

More Tintri VMstore T7000 pros

Cons

"One area that I haven't been sold on yet is the POD replication."

"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."

"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."

"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."

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

"Pure is not flexible on your datapak expansions. You're locked into a certain amount of storage."

"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."

"The software layer has to improve."

More Everpure FlashArray X NVMe cons

"On the negative side of it, I'm working on support, and I would get not enough detail or the support tech would say, "Check the manual.""

"You don't have business continuity with SolidFire. I think it could be a nice feature to have in the future."

"We have a large fiber channel infrastructure, and that's one area that we haven't seen implemented in SolidFire, its more iSCSI."

"When you set up the nodes, we have to serial into each one of these nodes to configure the IP ranges. It's still very easy, but it's time consuming."

"You don't have business continuity with SolidFire. I think it could be a nice feature to have in the future."

"For example, the ease of use with the reporting. Right now it's not impossible, but you have to know Sequel."

"In fact, the price is quite high compared to other vendors, but what we really loved about SolidFire was the agility of the team."

"The starting point of SolidFire is really a little bit on the expensive side, but from a scalability perspective, as a total cost of ownership, if you go for it then it's not so expensive."

More SolidFire cons

"Their current replication is really just enough to "check the box" that they do replication. We'll probably implement Actifio, Zerto or EMC RecoverPoint for VMs for more critical data replication."

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

"VMstore as a product is an appliance. It is normal hardware. When there are new releases of, for instance, VMware vSphere, it can sometimes take time on the Tintri side to support that. It can take longer than expected. Tintri could improve by ensuring shorter times for support and compatibility when there are new releases from partners like VMware or Microsoft."

"Good documentation is an improvement point."

"The solution was challenging."

"Integration with Commvault for native storage snapshots"

"More cloud integration."

"Also, we have noticed that while Tintri has improved our infrastructure performance by 30%, the performance drops significantly if we exceed SSD capacity."

More Tintri VMstore T7000 cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is on a yearly basis."

"The product is expensive."

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

"With Pure Storage, we would like to continue seeing price reductions with flash storage. I don't think we're any different than anybody else when we continue to look to the industry for price reductions of both NVMe and traditional SSD storage. We would like to see these prices continue to decline and erode, even displacing large spinning disks."

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

"The tool's pricing is cheap; I rate it a six to seven out of ten. Most of our sales are not subscription-based. We sell the hardware, and customers keep using it. They only renew the service part annually. The support can be a bit pricey, but the solution is more cost-effective than anything else out there."

"The support cost per array is about $20,000 a year for 24/7 support."

"The tool is an investment that we've budgeted for. While the prices may be higher than those of other vendors, we see it as a market leader with benefits. We don't regret purchasing it."

More Everpure FlashArray X NVMe pricing and cost advice

"We would probably use SolidFire more, except we're getting more bang for our buck with our purchases of ONTAP right now, and the deal we made with NetApp, so it's more of just a cost decision"

"The price of this solution is more expensive than others."

"Based on what I heard from other people, its price was on the higher side."

"It might be considered expensive, but when evaluating performance, it represents good value online because you pay for what you get."

"On a scale where one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the solution between three and four. It is an expensive solution."

"Always could be cheaper."

"The price is the price and is reasonable for the class of storage."

"I've always gotten excellent pricing. I'm very satisfied with the pricing that I receive."

"Tintri is reasonably priced for the solution you get. Advanced features do require extra to use."

"We haven't found Tintri's pricing to be a barrier to entry for any of our customers. Tintri works through a number of distributors and when we've had to purchase it for our customers we have found the pricing to be competitive."

"Ensure the storage system "natively" supports the protocols that you wish to use (i.e., CIFS) without the need for the overhead of internal "conversion VMs" that run the protocols."

"The cost of all the SW is well spent because it makes you save on backup and DR."

"I think it is a very good solution. You get a good bang for buck."
