Pure Storage FlashArray Reviews

[Pure Storage has turned] days and hours into seconds and minutes. We are dramatically more productive from development to servicing our clients.

Consistent costs.

No down time for upgrades and maintenance.

Our FlashArray implementations have had extremely positive impact on our business goals. Our main, heavy-lifting Oracle and MS Sql databases and apps run much faster and provide much faster response times. Our data warehouse ETL completes in much, much less time. (From >12 hours to

Reduced man hours required for storage management

We have moved from a couple of older XtremIOs and a Unity array to 2 Pure arrays. This has saved us a great deal in power, as well as rack space, etc.

In addition to our savings our end users have been impressed with performance.

Very little management after initial setup.

It is quite expensive, so we haven't noticed an ROI on hardware costs, but many less man hours are required to manage the FlashArrays.

The performance provided using a FlashArray over legacy SAN, is probably the biggest ROI we see.

The minimal amount of space required of a Flash Array saves on data enter rack space.

Pure Storage FlashArray has had a great impact on our databases and applications. SQL jobs that used to take hours now take minutes - which has allowed our company to move new product offerings forward faster.

The ease of use of Pure Storage FlashArray has allowed our Storage Admins to focus on other duties and not have to "babysit" the SAN.

I am not responsible for determining ROI.

The performance and reliability have allowed us to implement VDI without any hangups around storage.

The simplicity of the product allows for efficient operations.

In year 3, we receive an upgrade to our storage controllers as part of our maintenance renewal. It's a non-disruptive upgrade.

We already know what our maintenance cost will be, and can easily budget for this.

The FlashArray has allowed us to retire legacy arrays, and we are now considering further consolidation in our storage stack.

The single system that sees the biggest benefit is our financial budgeting system. The time it takes to do a budget model has reduced drastically, so more scenarios can be built before the final option is selected.

While Pure seemed expensive up front, when our cost analysis revealed that over the long term it was less expensive than other solutions, we quickly chose to standardize on Pure.

As part of the whole environment, PureArray contributes to the impressive application uptime that our business currently enjoys.

Our customers enjoy the performance benefits. Jobs that used to run for days on the NetApp now run in a few hours.

Lessens storage administration overhead through its simplicity.

Users in our Tier1 application notice the performance increase instantly. Happy customers are priceless.

We are still fairly new to Pure Storage, so it is somewhat hard to say on the RIO, but I can say that it has made a very positive impact on the manageability of a storage array. With our previous SAN environment, I felt like there were always little things that I didn't know about. I was also using support a lot more with the earlier arrays.

We have been able to expand our storage at a great cost savings and still benefit from SSD speeds

It has simplified imaging.

It has improved VM reliability and performance.

I am a sourcing partner, so ROI I am not aware of.

Most of our source data is using Pure Storage

The array is fairly new so we haven't seen a quantitative ROI yet.

Currently exceeding business expectations on performance and reliability.

Implementation of this array has greatly increased our database performance, along with all VM performance overall. This increased I/O performance has been a great improvement for our line of business applications.

When compared to what we have had to pay to get into some of our legacy storage arrays, Pure Storage has already put us in the black. The ROI writes itself when implementing a Pure FA.

We have been able to scale back the need for a specific storage array admin, as our whole team can administrate a Pure FA due to its simplicity and ease of use.

The Pure arrays allowed us to consolidate from over 30-40 mixed vendor arrays to under 10 flash arrays, saving costs on support contracts.

The Pure Arrays allowed us to offer modern, high tier storage offerings to new and existing customers, making us look more attractive to new customers and also increase contract spend on existing customers.

The Pure Arrays allowed us to simplify our infrastructure offerings and allowed more employees to be able to effectively maintain the hardware.

Cost effective do to the compression/deduplication

The performance of the application has increased dramatically after we started using the All Flash Array.

Overall SQL licensing cost reduced due to better latency and IOPS.

We got more Data reduction and compression on array than what was promised

Performance of storage is rock solid

its been more than 3 years and not disruption noticed during firmware upgrade

The price per GB for an emerging market is too high.

The Support Team is great and being better.

SQL Performance is off the charts. No delays like we used to have with NetApp.

Oracle Performance is off the charts. No delays like we used to have with NetApp.

VM Performance is off the charts. No delays like we used to have with NetApp.

The level of data reduction that we saw with our VDI workloads exceeded expectations and brought down the per/GB cost of the disk even lower than anticipated, resulting in greater cost savings over our previous storage solution.

Better visibility to our workload in terms of performance, growth, etc.

Evergreen controller upgrade was performed with zero downtime and extended the useful life of our system.
