Overall Satisfaction with Pure Storage FlashArray
Pure is our Tier 1 storage solution at two locations for VMware and Microsoft environments.
- Rock solid SAN
- Storage reduction
- Ease of use/management
- Ease of support and upgrading
- Replication
- Lower cost solutions for ROBO
- A NAS solution
- After implementation no one, once, has pointed as storage as a possible reason for slowness.
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 and rock solid vVOL support.

- New volumes from the vSphere plug-in
- Expanding volumes from the vSphere plug-in
- The plug-in works great and makes my life easier
- Restoring/cloning volumes
- There isn't much; mainly it's things that I manually do like going through the steps to manually add a server to a cluster (instead of doing the cluster and having it add and configure everything automatically)
Yes - Works, great - I've checked on the system away from the office and opened and managed tickets. I've shown it to other companies saying you need a mobile app and it should look like this. It's intuitive and easy to use.
