Jeeva Kumar Information System Manager in Information Technology at ZeOmega (Hospital & Health Care, 501-1000 employees) Chose Pure Storage FlashArray It was a very tight call before finalizing the solution.

Verified User Chose Pure Storage FlashArray Pure Storage FlashArray came up as being the most cost-effective of the lot plus the extras added like call-home support were very welcome. The competitors' options were a lot more expensive and the call-home support added a lot more to the already high costs. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pure Storage FlashArray The Pure Storage FlashArray blows any other array I've used out of the water. We had an investment in EqualLogic and purchased an all-flash array. A couple of years later and with many performance issues, we purchased our first Pure Storage array and the difference was … Incentivized Helpful? Sateesh Singh Systems Integ Sr. Specialist in Information Technology at NTT DATA (Information Technology and Services, 10,001+ employees) Chose Pure Storage FlashArray We had an outage on EMC Unity because of one of its bugs and also its simplicity and performance is not as good as Pure Storage. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pure Storage FlashArray We tested against HPE Hybrid SANs, which were very nice as well. In the end, Pure Storage FlashArray was a better fit since we were going to be replicating to a DR location. Incentivized Helpful? Ben Bullock Sr. Systems Administrator in Information Technology at Blue Cross of Idaho (Insurance, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Pure Storage FlashArray [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. Incentivized Helpful? Kevin Hannon IT Director in Information Technology at Town of Belchertown (Government Administration, 51-200 employees) Chose Pure Storage FlashArray Pure Storage stands head and shoulders above their competition. Not only is performance and usable capacity better and faster respectively, but the predictable support costs also make this a "no-brainer." Having used other storage arrays, from setup to support, Pure is by far … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pure Storage FlashArray HP, NetApp, and EMC Incentivized Helpful?

John Bartch Systems and Network Programmer II in Information Technology at Foothill-De Anza Community College District (Higher Education, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Pure Storage FlashArray Pure Storage had a much simpler interface and the dedupe and compression was better than all the other products we considered. Other vendors we looked at were Dell, Nimble, Tegile, and a few others I can't remember the names of. Incentivized Helpful? Todd Rasmussen CIO (Chief Information Officer) in Corporate at Paramount Acceptance (Financial Services, 51-200 employees) Chose Pure Storage FlashArray We reviewed Dell EMC and said no because of spin drives, hard upgrades. NetApp was not easy enough to use. Pure Storage was easy of use, had reliability, evergreen, and we got much more in productivity than we could even imagine at the time. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pure Storage FlashArray Pure Storage is completely different solution and meet our expectation in any fields. Simple and reliable storage with good support. Incentivized Helpful? Chris Saenz Lead System Engineer in Information Technology at Azusa Pacific University (Higher Education, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Pure Storage FlashArray NetApp has a lot of issues. Its software is clunky and complicated. It wastes much capacity in the storage operating system. It doesn't do deduplication and compression that well and takes a CPU hit when it does. And all-flash storage was never really an option. At just about … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pure Storage FlashArray 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pure Storage FlashArray NetApp, which is/was the market leader. This is a good system in their own right, but there are two areas where Pure Storage FlashArray beats them all hands-down! First is management. The software interface for management and provisioning is cleaner and doesn't make one jump … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pure Storage FlashArray We liked the licensing more with the Pure Array and its performance at the time was better than others. Incentivized Helpful?

Incentivized Helpful? College325 Hess Sourcing team leader; commputing in Information Technology at College of American Pathologists (Hospital & Health Care, 501-1000 employees) Chose Pure Storage FlashArray Fusion-IO is very expensive per TB and limited to host you can connect. Pure Storage might not be as fast but its ease of use, along with compression and dedupe make up for it. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pure Storage FlashArray FlashArray provides higher throughput and less latency compared to others. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Pure Storage FlashArray HPe 3PAR is a product that tries to emulate the R/W delays times but based on standard technology. The difference for a solution natively built in all-flash technology is way better. Incentivized Helpful?
