I think it is easy to choose between all of competitor. At that time, only Pure Storage FlashArray gave us warranty for right-sized, where they guarantee that if the capacity is less than we agreed then they provide additional storage at no cost.
I believe that Pure has set itself way ahead of its competition in the storage market, you could probably find something faster but it will lack in ease of use. You could pay less for something but it will lack a key feature that Pure offers. It is hard to find something like …
The Forever Flash offering from Pure is the deal maker. We will always have new controllers every 3 years and will not need to ever purchase new or upgrade our array.
We liked the licensing more with the Pure Array and its performance at the time was better than others.

Chose Pure Storage FlashArray
It was easier to use but has fewer features. When the selection process was started, the NetApp was was still very difficult to use. The console for Pure won over the team. From a speed perspective, all of the FlashArrays are fast enough for our infrastructure and applications.
At first, they most of our selection criteria but were missing some key components. We could use them for specialized deployments but not shared systems. They worked with us and added the components we required and we now are moving all storage needs to Pure Storage systems. …

All those guys are losers. Definitely, there are no alternatives. This is like EV cars. You can buy whatever, but Tesla is still the reference. Spending money elsewhere is okay because rates are 0%, but this remains crazy. Why pay more for less? All the features are not as good …
NetApp, at the time, was more a hybrid approach as did not have the same level of features and capabilities in the all-flash array market, newer products have since been released to market that would make a closer comparison now, but three years ago this was not the case. Nimble,…
The FlashArray is faster and easier to use than all the other products I've used. Other ones are close, but from our perspective, Pure won in every area.
Pure Storage FlashArray is a lot simpler to configure and manage as you do not need to manage aggregates, volumes, and LUNs separately as you do in NetApp. Pure Storage FlashArray has better deduplication due to the fact it is whole array deduplication as opposed to volume or …
When we looked at retiring the our old VNX arrays we evaluated a lot of different solutions, but the FlashArray beat them across the board. They had the lowest price, the smallest physical footprint to data storage, and fastest time to deliver of all the products we looked at.
Better price/usable storage, better performance, higher dedupe and compression, easy to use and self-explanatory GUI, good support, rack and stack and running in 4 hours were some of the reasons we selected Pure Storage.
