Overall Satisfaction with Pure Storage FlashArray
We currently use the array to run mission critical applications in our VMware environment. It is supporting a few different departments and we have noticed a performance increase since switching over.
- Good customer support, very helpful and they know their stuff.
- You really don't have to do much with it once you have it setup. It's been running for years now and we have done minimal work to keep it that way. You just set it and forget it, so to speak.
- They have a predictive monitoring system that looks for possible failures in your system and lets them know so they can act pro-actively. They notified us that a system drive might be going bad with some of the logs they saw and sent out a replacement. That way it could be swapped out before it failed.
- They are expensive, but you get what you pay for. I have very little issues with their products and how they run. It would make it easier to get more of their equipment through my door if they weren't so expensive.
- I don't worry about the system as much as I worry about our other storage solutions. It allows me to focus more on the other systems and spend less time worrying about the other.
We liked the licensing more with the Pure Array and its performance at the time was better than others.
