We replaced our IBM SVC with Nimble. Very happy with them so far and nobody came close to their price point. We also have EMC XtremIO all flash array. It screams but boy was it pricey.

Ditto EMC. But, for larger organizations they might make sense - they just don't for us, as a smaller organization with only about 200 staff in our HQ. Pure is interesting, and we may ask them to participate in our process, but we don't have an opinion on them yet. Nimble is the favored candidate because of our IT Director's previous experience with them - I don't have any myself.
