Chose Dell SC Series / Compellent (discontinued)
I have to say that the Pure Storage FlashArray is way simpler to configure, monitor, and update. There are various features that the Pure Storage FlashArray offers, such as viewing your virtual infrastructure to see if the issues lie with your storage or VM's that Dell EMC SC …
Really the deduplication and compression ratio has been all over these guys. The speed on the flash storage seems more customized if I may say and our deployments were smooth. Nothing against these guys since we work with all at the same level, but there are very notable perks …
[They] seemed to have all the right things in place for our environment. A bit costly up front, but good return on less stress, better performance and good support whenever we do have issues.

Chose Pure Storage FlashArray
It beats them hands down on everything. It is faster with better compressions and dedup. Management is at the next level - not legacy at all. Upgrades are easier. Getting a unit online and working was faster, as was expanding storage. vCenter plug-in's are easier to use …
The performance of the Pure arrays is better but there is a difference in products so it is not really a fair comparison since the other arrays have some flash and some slower drives. However, we have had nothing but good experiences when dealing with support on upgrades and …
Pure beats the Dell Compellent hands down on implementation, support, speed, dedupe, use, and management interface. It beats Quantum on everything but dedupe. Quantum has the best dedupe capabilities.
We were looking for a SAN with a large capacity in a small footprint and easy to use interface. The 3Par had a much larger footprint and cost a lot more. Compellent had fewer features then Pure and seem not as easy to use while the dedupe and compression process seemed not as …
Dell and Netapp require constant touching and management in our experience. The Flash Array is the opposite of that. The monitoring that PureOne provides for free is also awesome and costs money from other competitors. The other vendors really didn't have a great answer to the …
Pure Storage FlashArray was chosen due to the performance, reduced management complexity, and support features as compared to other solutions. Some vendors did not offer a support model that fit, compatibility with legacy HPUX, or offered the compression and dedupe features. …
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.
