Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simplicity in management and competitive performance What is our primary use case? I use Pure FlashArray X NVMe for storing and managing data for my client projects. What is most valuable? Pure FlashArray X NVMe stands out for its simplicity in management and its ability to easily collect performance data for future implementation. Its scalability has met my organization's growth needs. Overall, it offers competitive performance, and the Evergreen storage model of Pure fits well with my organization. What needs improvement? There are some challenges with data encryption and reduction. The need for application data to be encrypted and reduced is a big problem, and the selling position with respect to data reduction is not competitive. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The scalability of Pure FlashArray X NVMe meets my organization's growth needs. Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? I have experience with Dell PowerMax, and it seemed to be more scalable than Pure. Which other solutions did I evaluate? I have evaluated Dell PowerMax as an alternative solution. What other advice do I have? On a scale of one to ten, I rate Pure FlashArray as ten. Disclaimer: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer:Partner

Rated 5 out of 5 by from FlashArray optimizes database performance with good support What is our primary use case? The workload is based on the SQL database. NVMe is on top of it. Earlier, I was facing issues despite having a FlashArray, as I was not getting the maximum IOPS. My application needed more than the maximum IOPS. I shifted based on a proper assessment to understand why I was not able to achieve it. The five-year period was completed for the number of storage units, which is why I shifted to Pure Storage. What is most valuable? Everything, especially the VMs inside, is pretty fast. The database workloads are pretty fast because I frequently move data from here to there. Whether it's a normal SQL native backup or manual movement, it happens frequently within the organization. It was one of the main requirements to have a FlashArray, and this really has sorted out these issues. What needs improvement? Adding some functions to the product would be beneficial. Storage replication should be essential, and the analytics should not incur extra charges. This is one of the main things organizations need. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using it for approximately one year. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? Until now, I have not performed any scalability. However, based on the storage I have at the moment, it is scalable. For my requirements, it is scalable enough. How are customer service and support? Technical support is good at least through vendors, not directly with the principal. I would rate it as eight out of ten. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? I changed the previous solution and took Pure Storage afterward. How was the initial setup? The setup was done by the vendors, not directly by me. What other advice do I have? The overall product rating is nine out of ten. Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Faster data storage speeds and good overall performance with room for cost reduction What is our primary use case? We use Pure FlashArray for storing all of our data in a machine for storage purposes. What is most valuable? The input and output speed is crucial for us since we use it solely for storage without any special functions. We are satisfied with the performance as it is significantly faster compared to traditional storage options. What needs improvement? Maybe the price can be reduced since the solution is very expensive. For how long have I used the solution? I have been working with FlashArray for about four to five years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? I would rate the stability of the product at seven out of ten, as sometimes there are minor glitches. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? I also rate the scalability a seven out of ten. How are customer service and support? We did not contact technical support from Pure Storage. How would you rate customer service and support? Neutral Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? AWS, Dell, and HPE are possible competitors. From my perspective, Pure is better than Dell since it is cheaper. How was the initial setup? The initial setup was simple. What about the implementation team? We performed the setup in-house with our team. Which other solutions did I evaluate? What other advice do I have? Overall, I would rate Pure FlashArray a seven out of ten. Which deployment model are you using for this solution? On-premises Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Supports efficient storage management through volume snapshots and offers reliable non-disruptive upgrades What is our primary use case? My use case for using Pure FlashArray X NVMe is that my company is developing a blockchain platform for Ethereum or Bitcoin, and we are running four copies of the same node, each of which has to use isolated storage. They have exactly the same data, and we are using Pure Storage as our storage device, where most of our blockchain nodes have their unique volume, a different volume in Pure Storage. Pure Storage supports snapshots, and every four nodes have exactly the same data. By using Pure Storage, we can save physical storage. What is most valuable? The best features of Pure FlashArray X NVMe include the volume snapshot capabilities, which allow us to save most of the storage space by volume snapshots periodically. We are actively using the volume snapshot and create volume snapshots periodically, once a month for four months. What needs improvement? 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. For how long have I used the solution? I have approximately two years of experience working with Pure FlashArray X NVMe, using Pure Storage X19, 1953. What was my experience with deployment of the solution? We use the Evergreen architecture for non-disruptive upgrades. We attempted an upgrade last month, and there was a significant incident where the storage failed for about 10 hours, causing several of our services to stop. I appreciate the non-disruptive upgrade feature, but it is not perfect. What do I think about the stability of the solution? It is a very stable solution. I have not experienced any errors in usual cases, except for the accident during the upgrade process. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? Pure FlashArray X NVMe is a scalable solution, and I agree with that assessment. How are customer service and support? I would rate technical support from Pure Storage a nine on a scale from 1 to 10, where 10 is perfect. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? Before Pure FlashArray X NVMe, I did not use a different solution; it was my first experience. Currently, I am trying to use other storage devices, such as IBM and NetApp, as we are running a Proof of Concept. What about the implementation team? The partner company for Pure Storage installed and set up the solution. I do not have experience in installation or setup of the storage system. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? The price of Pure FlashArray X NVMe is very expensive, though I do not know the actual price because I am using the Evergreen monthly payment. I do not know the exact device price, but I think the monthly price is not so expensive. However, I believe the physical device price is very expensive, based on what I have heard. Which other solutions did I evaluate? Currently, I am trying to use other storage devices, such as IBM and NetApp, as we are running a Proof of Concept. What other advice do I have? I have experience working with Pure Storage array solutions and have a customer relationship with Pure as an end-user. I have not utilized the AI-driven management features. I have downloaded some articles about the storage. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Pure FlashArray X NVMe a 10. Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
