Child of Wonder, that line by line ripping apart of a Pure customer's feedback and experience is just mind boggling when honestly it seems that you are a Pure employee or partner. Pure has a good product with good pricing but the numbers game makes me second guess buying them or Nimble until the product is bought out by a larger company to keep things afloat. Don't do the company a disservice with venting online when you can just let the product speak for itself. I have a lot of buddies/old colleagues that work at Pure, there are definitely shady as hell sales guys there. ALL vendors have shady as hell sales guys.
In regards to the feature sets on the box, it is a great product for its price point. With how far the XIO line has come since the 2.0 to 3.0 laughingstock of an upgrade, I'd still give them a look although not want to pay the EMC tax if I don't have to. That ripping apart though really is stopping me in my tracks on the Pure point. We have a Pure array and we love it in our DC, my wifes hospital chain she does telecom for just bought quite a few Pure boxes for raw power. No need to rip people apart for their opinion and experience.
Not trying to rip apart a customer's feedback and I apologize if it comes across that way. A lot of what was stated didn't seem accurate so I wanted to offer some counter points. If kdh's experience with Pure has been that negative, to the point that he no longer trusts his sales team or doesn't see the value in Pure, then I'd like to do whatever I can to help fix that since, yes, I do work for Pure, and I always strive to give my customers the most unbiased and objective information I can. I guess my reflexes to jump in got the better of me.
