We performed a comparison between HPE 3PAR StoreServ and Oracle Sun ZFS Storage Appliance based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Modular SAN (Storage Area Network) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We choose 3PAR for its speed. It's so fast and reliable."
"We went to an Active-Active data center, set it up to where both data centers are separate, but they act as one. We can have workloads at either side at any given time, and it is all based on the Peer Persistence architecture."
"From my perspective, it's really easy for me to be able to get in and do any troubleshooting with it and it's very consistent."
"It has improved the ability of the executives to get proper insights."
"It has allowed us to set up a fully functioning disaster recovery site with replication, which we have been able to configure between our 3PAR systems."
"Any action we want to do with a Dell EMC product needs a license. But with 3PAR's converged solution, at least there is no need to purchase more licenses to get the all the features that we need. We can get basic and mid-range features without licenses."
"I benefit from the HPE Call Home feature. It tells me about any issue once I have it."
"Tech support is great, and that is for any of their team who has ever worked with us. They are willing and committed to making sure the customer is treated the way we need to be."
"I like its storage capacity, quick access to the data, speed, and overall storage management."
"We've had some issues when we were trying to upgrade, doing some firmware upgrades."
"I would like to be able to deploy and manage 3PAR within OneView Global Dashboard so we do not have to use the interface for 3PAR."
"I would like to have support for On-The-fly reallocation Data when using VVoL."
"As a management tool, it would help us to have more customer reports."
"It's a very complex platform to manage and it's not cheap either. It doesn't really give us the level of flexibility we had for very, very small workloads."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ could have better integration into the cloud and converged infrastructure."
"HPE has a product that I am very interested in, but it lacks of integration with 3PAR - HPE SimpliVity."
"Extending is not a problem, scalability is okay. But once you buy additional box of disks, you have to wait for HPE to contact you with their plan for implementation, for connecting, and it can take several weeks. So, you have the box and you have to wait for several weeks to actually implement it."
"The main thing Oracle can improve is the cost. It would be better if Oracle opened up the system to enable integration with other vendors. Whether it's the database, application server, or storage appliance, they should make it easy to integrate them. They need to open up more to ensure that it can work in any environment and IT ecosystem."
