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."It's simple, powerful, and ready to use."
"The initial setup was really straight forward."
"The console is simple to use. It has good performance. It is easy to install, understand, and manage, with a good ratio of deduplication and compression. It is doing its job."
"Its array houses our entire production environment."
"The most valuable feature is that maintenance is free."
"The solution helps to simplify storage."
"It's actually very stable"
"Processes that used to take 40 minutes to two hours can be completed in five minutes."
"Initially, we faced numerous issues with our analytical systems. However, we saw performance improvement after the implementation of the solution."
"Ease of management, aside from the serious performance, is the best feature."
"The most valuable features are: complete performance and ease of use."
"XtremIO is very stable."
"Performance and deduplication. This is a very robust block storage option that offers both performance and data optimization."
"It was very easy and straightforward to setup."
"Thin storage allocation"
"The program is very stable."
"With the HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity, we can grow as required."
"OneView is a nice interface."
"Whatever failures you have, there is no single point of failure. So, any failure, you get an alert, you have time, you plan the fix, the replacement, and so on. So your operations are intact."
"The solution is stable."
"It has been very stable. We've had very minor issues, but I've loved how HPE is proactive on letting us know. Usually, they let us know before we notice it ourselves and they already have a solution for us. It has been great that way."
"It is a stable solution."
"Proactive support. Before we notice that there's a problem in the storage, or any part, any hard disk, they already notify us, and within four hours, the product is delivered. Within the next hour after product delivery, the engineer is available to support me."
"It has a really powerful tool to measure data, how it is working, the performance, and if we have any bottlenecks."
"They could improve the price."
"Most of our upgrades have not been as smooth as they should have been."
"A minor issue that comes to mind is that, every once in a while, a hard drive will go bad."
"I would like to get a weekly report of how our storage has been used, and if there is any storage sitting there not being used."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"If they could make it cheaper, that would be something."
"As partners, we should have the option to download the software, rather than have to go back through Pure to obtain it."
"I would like to see them lower the costs."
"We've encountered challenges in integrating other products with Dell Xtremio, as it tends to be more vendor-locked. This means we can't easily explore other solutions that might work alongside Dell."
"Management: At the time, there was no snapshot scheduler, so I had to write XSnapCourier to address it. The sad thing is that even after the newest release, which includes a native scheduler, most customers using XSnapCourier chose to stick with it due to a more feature-rich experience."
"XtremIO needs to be lower priced. It also needs better endpoints and scalability."
"The management should be improved and the GUI interface could be better and easier."
"The implementation isn't exactly complex, but the solution should have some enhancements in it to make the process more centralized."
"The solution needs to be simplified. When you integrate your storage with other systems, could use a little bit of automation."
"Dell's technical support could be better."
"I would like to see more scalability."
"The solution could improve by being able to handle larger data."
"Here in Algeria, we are facing a lot of trouble finding partners and getting support from HPE. There should be better support here in our country."
"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."
"Feature-wise, with the InfoSight additions, there is a lot of the stuff missing in the intelligent interface. As they grow and push, a lot of it will not tie into Hyper-V."
"In new releases, I'd really like to see it more targeted towards hyper-converged. They are working that way with Greenlake and integrating their own "build your own" expansion environment within 3PAR."
"There are some weird things that we can't figure out."
"The tool needs improvement in the utilization report at the granular level."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
