Enterprise customer feedback, which has been vetted by Gartner, is available online in black-and-white for you to see what differentiates Infinidat from the competition. This is why so many enterprises make Infinidat their #1 choice.

Heading into 2024, Infinidat had already been named a Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for Primary Storage overall four times – 2023, 2021, 2020, and 2019. Then, earlier this month, Infinidat was named a 2024 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice in the Gartner Peer Insights “Voice of the Customer,” Region Segment: North America for the 2nd year in a row. Based solely on customer reviews and ratings, this special recognition is the sixth time that Infinidat has been identified as a Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for Primary Storage in either the North American regional segment or overall.

In this blog, we’re going to explore recent feedback that enterprise customers have posted on the Gartner Peer Insights site in the 2nd half of 2023.
