We performed a comparison between Dell PowerStore and HPE StoreOnce based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"We're able to get higher-density workloads on the same infrastructure, and we have a smaller physical footprint. The performance is excellent – during our test the bottlenecks are never on the X array, it just keeps picking up the pace to match what you need. The real-time visibility is a differentiator in my opinion."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"Dell EMC PowerStore is scalable."
"The PowerStore's compression ratio is even higher than the Unity system."
"It is a stable solution."
"It's a great product. Integrating PowerStore with the IT workflow is easy."
"The support is very good."
"Overall, we're quite happy with the product because we can move the data that is stored on more than 10 of our current storage devices to a single PowerStore."
"This solution is very useful to us as we use it internally for all of the services that we need. We use it as a lab and we showcase new technology to the customers and how it can help them going forward."
"There is no complicated configuration for queries and calls. You just create a model and go."
"The initial setup is one of the most user-friendly B2B user solutions. It's good, it's easy. Deployment usually takes less than one day. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance."
"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"Deduplication and compression are in a good ratio. It supports the HPE Catalyst protocol, which is much faster than NFS and other protocols. We use CommVault and Veeam, and these two solutions support the Catalyst protocol very well and are integrated at high speed. It is faster than normal access."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Technical support is quite good."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"We would like to see VNC integration or be able to use Pure Storage with VNC."
"The software layer has to improve."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"It is on the expensive side."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"Reporting is an area that could be improved. It's very simplistic sometimes, and some of the very technical guys on my team want to see more of the details and be able to massage the report a little bit better."
"The UI should be a little more user-friendly to manage."
"Horizontal scaling has room for improvement."
"More demonstration and training options are needed."
"With PowerStore, we have to choose between block storage and NAS functionality."
"I would like to see a Snapshot feature. Currently, it is unable to occupy the capacity."
"The cost of technical support is high."
"It doesn't support SSD or Flash."
"One item I wanted to see is SSD drives as a cache, and that was, for a time, still lacking in StoreOnce, however, they have done it now. It's not available yet, however, it will be shortly."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"The latency is a bit high."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"The product's price could be better."
