We performed a comparison between HPE 3PAR StoreServ and HPE StoreEasy based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NAS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It provides very fast deployment. The performance for our most critical applications is very quick."
"Its snapshot capability is the most valuable feature, because replicate our databases from production to nonproduction for development. This allows us to do it very quickly."
"We can do more, faster, whether it's spinning up more virtual machines or handling large amounts of data."
"Whatever failures you have, there is no single point of failure. So, any failure, you get an alert, you have time, you plan the fix, the replacement, and so on. So your operations are intact."
"With our 3PARs, we have never lost data."
"Its stability is the most valuable. It has soft alerts. When an alert is raised, we get a call from HP saying that there is this type of alert, and they need to do a remote session to check things. Similarly, for firmware updates, they get in touch to say that a firmware upgrade is required on your storage. They schedule a time and take control remotely to upgrade the firmware. In all such cases, there is no downtime. Everything is done when a full-fledged operation is going on. Its user interface is also quite good. We are quite accustomed to this user interface. We can easily take a look at the current usage or the amount of storage. It is quite easily understandable, and I can present those things to my seniors or other people who are not that tech-savvy, and they can easily understand what we are trying to tell them. We can easily show them that we are using around 87% of the storage, so we need to plan for another tree and things like that."
"We also use dynamic optimization to go between tiers."
"It is a rugged, performance system; it is trouble-free and a workhorse."
"This solution allows me to better and more easily manage user data without impacting my primary storage."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the duplication."
"I like the user quotas, integrations, and separations for storage."
"I like the tool's provisioning feature and OneView."
"I can use both the on-premises and cloud storage options. I need to have an APR extension from StoreEasy, and it's that simple."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreEasy is the storing of virtual machines."
"The newer versions have some other characteristics that we are not using. We would like to use them and set them up in our current version."
"Our support in the US has been phenomenal, no issues at all. But the European support was poor initially."
"3PAR has StoreOnce and replication. I would like it if they worked together. Or, if I had Nimble and put that either in DR or a primary cohesive management, but still use the cool features of 3PAR, that would be awesome."
"...sizing is everything. If you don't do the sizing right and you don't understand every detail of the product, how it works, you can be in a very unpleasant situation when you pay half a million dollars and you have a product that does not work as you expected."
"Its price is a bit high for adding another tree."
"The configuration and flexibility should improve."
"I would like to see more flexibility with the cloud. I've actually just been in a presentation about it, here at HPE Discover 2018, so those features are coming."
"We've had some issues when we were trying to upgrade, doing some firmware upgrades."
"We need some monitoring tools and it would be helpful if they were included."
"The support of HPE StoreEasy can improve its responsiveness. Dell support is better."
"The cluster service is not available in the latest version of HPE StoreEasy."
"When I configure the StoreEasy in a complex environment I have problems finding compatibility with all the software."
"It would be better if it were more scalable. In the next release, I would like to access some Microsoft Windows storage server features. I guess the newest version of Windows Server has some restrictions."
"I would like to improve the tool's technical support. I would also like to see the product's hybrid cloud version."
