We performed a comparison between HPE Nimble Storage 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."The duplication algorithm allows us to get a lot more use out of less storage. We're running a five terabyte array right now and we're running probably about 30 terabytes on it. So the duplication rate is pretty phenomenal, without a cost to performance. It still runs pretty smoothly."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"The most valuable features of Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its superior performance compared to other flash tiers, as well as its ease of use, with an intuitive user interface that is simple to deploy and use."
"It's helped us because we've changed fundamentally what we talk about. We don't talk about storage and different tiers of storage anymore nor do we talk about servers. We talk now about applications and how applications impact the business and end users."
"The solution is scalable."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"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."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"There are a lot of redundancies in all the right areas, so it is pretty stable."
"Scalability is another reason we chose to go with Nimble: upgrading to another storage array. If we need higher capacity or throughput, we can just replace controllers, we don't have to replace or forklift-upgrade the whole chassis."
"We use a platform as a service and have multiple application vendors who comprise that platform. There are moments when those application vendors put the blame on us. By working in InfoSight, I am able to say, "No, it is not us." I can actually provide proof, either by using screenshots or through reporting."
"The solution runs pretty fast."
"The scalability is straightforward."
"In the 20 days that we have been using this solution, it has been stable."
"The most valuable feature is the NVMe flash storage."
"The tool’s support is feasible."
"The initial setup is simple."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"The hardware is strong and all the equipment has a good infrastructure. Personally, I think it's the best storage product in HPE for small to medium-sized businesses."
"The solution is stable."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"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."
"Right now, the box itself is just strictly working as a backend storage system. It would be fantastic if we could access it directly like a NAS device through network access or SIS drives. I think they have an interface, but I am not sure how good it is. If we could address a box directly on the network without having to go through a server, it would be great. The replication schemas could be improved. We are not using replication on the storage level right now. We use a different type of replication. If their replication would be as good as the one that we have, I would probably run the replication schema because it might be faster, but I don't know that for a fact. So, I cannot say that they have good replication. All I can say is that they need to inform us better."
"We need better data deduplication."
"We have run into a couple of instances recently where we are running out of space. So we have had to buy some more packs for it and they have deployed fine and it has increased smoothly."
"I think the scalability of HPE Nimble Storage could be improved."
"You could argue that it would be preferable if everything were cheaper in order to save taxpayer money."
"We face challenges with hardware delivery."
"I would like to see more advanced analytics in the next release of this solution."
"I want it to be an active-active array. Nimble would be great as an active-active array because then everything checks out. It would give a feeling of comfort."
"The backup solution that they are using now probably has not been deduped."
"The solution’s stability could be better. The tool’s pricing is high and depends on the partner."
"We are doing a hybrid and are moving some machines to Microsoft Azure to run in hybrid mode. We are checking the availability of extra software-defined storage so that we can configure it."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
"The latency is a bit high."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
