We performed a comparison between HPE StoreEasy and NetApp FAS Series 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."I like the user quotas, integrations, and separations for storage."
"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 solution's most valuable feature is the duplication."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreEasy is the storing of virtual machines."
"I like the tool's provisioning feature and OneView."
"This solution allows me to better and more easily manage user data without impacting my primary storage."
"It's an easy product to use that is stable and has good performance."
"End-users like that they can rely on the Snapshot technology so they can do their restores themselves."
"We can manage our applications from a single dashboard."
"It changed the way we do Disaster Recovery (DR) around NetApp replication."
"Ability to use mirroring and SnapVault have made backup no longer necessary."
"The most valuable feature of the NetApp FAS Series is its stability."
"The new FAS series is a good fit for some customers. We have good performance and capacity, even though it is full flash."
"It's a stable product. No issues there."
"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."
"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."
"We need some monitoring tools and it would be helpful if they were included."
"When I configure the StoreEasy in a complex environment I have problems finding compatibility with all the software."
"NetApp needs to put its OS on a microchip rather than on disks."
"The biggest issue we face is parts delivery. There's no local warehouse in Myanmar, so if a customer encounters a technical problem like an IMEI issue, they have to wait a long time for replacement parts."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern, so from an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made cheaper."
"I would like to see less latency and higher IOPS."
"It's not a cheap system. It is very expensive. The pricing has been ridiculous every time that we had to renew the support."
"As I see it, there could be more interfaces, more cache, etc."
"The one aspect of the solution that's negative for us is also more unique to us due to the fact that we did a MetroCluster. The tiebreaker piece that does the monitoring of the two different locations, and determines if one is not talking to the network normally (or if it's truly down) is a little difficult. It feels like it was not designed from the beginning to fit well into the other pieces. It feels like it was thrown in at the last minute and it is not smooth."
"They should add new features to the product."
