Pure Storage FlashArray has a lot of features.

The price could be better.

I have been using Pure Storage FlashArray for three years.

Pure Storage FlashArray is an absolutely stable solution.

It's a highly scalable product.

In our organization, we have 1,500 users.

We have plans to increase the usage.

The support is excellent.

We were also using other technologies such as EMC, and Hitachi. We were using various other SAN storage systems. It was approximately three years ago.

We switched to Pure Storage FlashArray because it was easier to administer, and it is very powerful and fast.

It is not difficult to install.

It only requires one admin to maintain this solution.

As it's a SAN, it's a corporate solution, that requires experts.

It can be costly, but the return on our investment is extremely high.

Price is always an area that could be improved.

There are no licensing fees or other costs.

We have reviewed other solutions. We looked at a variety of options.

I would encourage them to try the solution.

I would rate Pure Storage FlashArray a 10 out of 10.

We primarily use the solution for general block storage. Usually, the storage product owners are the users.

It's just very easy for general block storage. Generally, the ease of use is what customers comment on. It's very user-friendly.

The initial setup is very straightforward. 

Scalability is possible. You can expand the solution.

The stability and reliability are great.

Technical support has been helpful in general. 

The solution needs an integrated NAS platform, file platform. The file functionality could be better.

I've been dealing with the solution for a couple of years. 

The solution is stable and reliable. The performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

We find the product to be quite scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so. 

The solution is extensively used. Likely usage will increase in the future. 

Technical support is great. They are helpful and responsive. We're quite satisfied with the level of support they offer customers. 

I used to work with Hitachi and switched to this product for ease of use and for performance.

The initial setup is very straightforward and simple. It's not overly complex. 

The actual startup and deployment take about half a day.

From an ROI standpoint, if you consider compression and de-duplication and all that, you get a pretty good ratio.

The pricing of the product is very competitive to others in the market for Flash and NVMe storage. That covers the cost of hardware and support.

I'm a reseller.

I'd advise potential users to try it out and consider it as an option.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten based on the overall performance, scalability, and reliability.

We are using Pure Storage FlashArray for data backups.

The management is simple in Pure Storage FlashArray.

We need to add more storage in Pure Storage FlashArray with the cluster mode activated for us to have better performance.

I have been using Pure Storage FlashArray for approximately one year.

The solution is stable with low vulnerabilities.

The support is very good they quickly react to problems.

We previously used a Hitachi hybrid storage solution with both traditional storage and flash storage.

The initial setup is very simple.

We have two administrators that support this solution.

The price of the solution is not expensive.

I rate Pure Storage FlashArray a ten out of ten.

We use FlashArray for proofs of concept and to bring the clients our infrastructure to test them. We have six clients using the solution. Most of them are using the ActiveCluster configuration.

I like FlashArray's ActiveCluster as well as its snapshot and cloning capabilities. The performance is extremely good. They have a complete replication set, including near-zero RTO and zero RPO. FlashArray integrates with all the new microservices technologies. It integrates with many products like Oracle, Cisco, Veeam, and Rubrik. 

I've been using FlashArray for four years.

FlashArray is highly stable. We don't have very many tickets in our support system. The non-disruptive upgrade works fine. We did a lot of this work for our clients without any problems. The flash disks are solid. In fact, we have very few issues with this infrastructure. 

Scalability doesn't require much work. The expansions are immediately used. We install more disks, which are automatically assigned to the volumes and the files.

Pure support is very proactive. They monitor our infrastructure in real-time, so they respond before we even open a ticket.

Deploying FlashArray is fast and straightforward. We can deploy the infrastructure in half an hour, but installing all the other things takes about two hours to provide the disk to the host. We don't need any help. We integrate the infrastructure with other vendors like Cisco, Veeam, Microsoft Hyper-V, etc., and it works fine. We only need one engineer to deploy FlashArray, but we have three Pure-certified engineers on our team.

Pure Storage doesn't have licenses. You buy the hardware, and all the software is included. The price of FlashArray is very competitive.

I rate Pure Storage FlashArray 10 out of 10. If you are considering FlashArray, you can try and buy. Most clients who try the solution ultimately buy the product. 

The experience has been very good so far for the company. It's very fast and it's very easy to configure the storage. 

It's very efficient. 

The snapshot feature is great. It's very easy to apply. You can see present error applications by going back using snapshot. It's very good for the company.

We haven't had any problems with it in the time we've used it.

I like the user interface.

Support has been helpful.

We have no issues with pricing.

Integration is easy.

The initial setup is simple. It's easy to deploy using the whitepapers on offer. 

The compression is quite good compared to other options.

We would like to be able to connect to data tape for backup, specifically to the LTO backups.

I've been using the solution for three years. 

The stability is good and we haven't had any issues with it. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The scalability is possible. It's pretty simple to just add more storage as needed. We plan to do so next year. Our impression is that it will be an easy process.

We have about 2,000 users at this time. It may even be as high as 10,000 when you factor in academic users. 

Technical support has been good. We haven't had any issues so far with them. We are satisfied with the level of service. 

In the past, we had an IBM storage device, however, when we compare this old storage with the Flash Pure, it's just so much better.

The initial setup is very simple. We have experience in using the storage and using the new Flash Pure Storage is even easier. It's quite an intuitive solution, which makes the setup process a breeze. 

It takes about six months to move from old to new storage. 

There are seven people on half that can handle the deployment process. 

Our organization did use an IT consultant to assist us with the implementation. 

The pricing is okay. We pay to license on a yearly basis. It's just a standard fee with no extra costs. 

We are a user and a customer.

While right now we are using an on-premises deployment, we likely will move to the cloud.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten.

We are using Pure Storage FlashArray for all of our data. We use the deduplication feature and it is working well.

The most valuable features in Pure Storage FlashArray are deduplication and active cluster.

The solution could improve by having a multi-tenant feature.

I have been Pure Storage FlashArray for approximately two years.

Pure Storage FlashArray is very stable.

We have not had an issue with the scalability of Pure Storage FlashArray.

We plan to increase the usage of this solution.

The support has been very good from Pure Storage FlashArray.

The solution is simple to implement. It's a new kind of storage, it is very easy to use. It is similar to NetApp, it is straightforward.

We purchased a license to use this solution and we pay for the storage ourselves.

It is a very good product.

I rate Pure Storage FlashArray a nine out of ten.

The most valuable feature is replication.

Areas for improvement would be the financial operations. In the next release, I would like to see a NAS protocol included.

I've been working with this solution for two years.

This is a very stable solution.

Technical support is very good.

There are some additional costs.

I would rate this solution as ten out of ten.

FlashArray is our main repository for all our VMware.

We've been using FlashArray's snapshot for backups. Their replication across sites and response time are also excellent.

When we were doing some tests, we found that there was an I/O freeze when they were switching the controller.

I've been using FlashArray for a year and a half.

For our needs, the stability was very good. 

The scalability was also very good.

The installation was pretty straightforward.

I would rate Pure Storage FlashArray eight out of 10.
