We performed a comparison between HPE 3PAR StoreServ and Veritas NetBackup Appliance based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"The Pure1 component is most valuable at this point in time when comparing it with EMC. Pure1 is where you can have your diagnostics in the cloud, so you can look at things from your mobile phone."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"The availability of the server has given us increased stability in our environment."
"Provides High-Availability, security, and high performance"
"In the deployment of virtual servers, I can have a new VM up and running in 15 minutes, run the patches, then done. I routinely fire up base images that I have for my servers: Server 2008 R2, 2012 R2, and 2016. I routinely fire those base images up and do all the updates, then prep them again for cloning. With 3PAR, we definitely have the performance to do that. Those images I do keep on SSD just to have that performance to deploy a new VM."
"Stability is awesome. Its performance has been steady and it stays up."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ has a good interface, it is user-friendly and easy to use."
"It has improved uptime, as well as speed to delivery."
"The technical support is good."
"The ease of management is its most valuable feature. It is so much easier to manage storage on a 3PAR array than anything that we have had before."
"I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple."
"The solution is very scalable."
"This is a good backup interconversion solution because all the masters and the targets backups are on the same system. It is easy to administrate for a single point of access for clients."
"We rarely need their help. I would give their technical support an 8.5 out of ten. We are satisfied."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is information backup."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance is a total backup solution. We don't have to buy other applications to do it."
"The most valuable features of Veritas NetBackup Appliance are the ease of use and the familiar interface."
"NetBackup is based on really good architectural hardware, and Veritas has the best backup and replication technology in the world."
"Our use cases require more multi-tenant capabilities and additional VLAN interfaces for separating different customers. We currently use it to provide storage, sometimes shared storage, to different customers, but it is less flexible in comparison to a dedicated solution."
"It is on the expensive side."
"Every time I think of something that needs to improve, they're one step ahead, which I love. The only area I wish to see improve, I believe is coming, is in the FlashBlade product. Blade implementation fell short on a few of the services."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"You cannot tag a LUN with a description, and that should be improved. What I like on the Unity side is that when I expand LUNs or do things, there is an information field on the LUN. This is the Information field that you can tag on your LUNs to let yourself know, "Hey, I've added this much space on this date". Pure lacks that ability. So, you don't have a mechanism that's friendly for tracking your data expansions on the LUN and for adding any additional information. That's a downside for me."
"If the customer only needs 500 terabytes and doesn't care how much data they'll put in the server, IBM is cheaper than Pure."
"This solution is becoming dated."
"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."
"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."
"The solution could be improved in regard to space reclamation by adding automation."
"It would also help if they integrate current technologies, newer technologies, and more efficient technologies, as time progresses. For example, integrate the fourth level of NAND devices."
"The replicating software is pretty complicated. I probably would have put it on a sequence."
"The solution lacks reliability."
"The hard part with the initial setup was that we were on EMC VNX and trying to get those converted over into the HPE 3PAR, that process took awhile, along with scheduling downtime to get some of the physical stuff migrated over to the new device."
"The upgrade process of the solution needs to be improved since it is extremely complicated, especially without the benefit of a support person who can guide one through it."
"It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system."
"NetBackup Appliance's pricing is reasonable, but it could be lower."
"Depending on the setup structure, it can be complex to implement."
"This solution has to have better integration with the cloud, as well as with other solutions such as Business Intelligence products."
"They need to make the licensing more clear. They should give all of the licensing details for the portals and be more clear. I have accidentally purchased the incorrect license because it's not clear."
"The technical support services could be better."
"The desirability of appliance solutions is dwindling in the marketplace."
