We performed a comparison between Dell XtremIO and HPE 3PAR StoreServ 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."It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"The latency is good."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"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 guaranteed sub-millisecond response time for a 4K block."
"The most valuable feature of Dell EMC XtremIO is the data protection (DP) group, it is one of the most advanced features in these types of arrays. The dedupe and compression that this array provides both do a superb job."
"The solution's most valuable features are the inline data reduction and deduplication."
"Linear performance – The XtremIO wasn’t the fastest in all tests against other all flash arrays, but even with a massive workload, the response time and user experience were absolutely predictable with no sharp drop-offs."
"The performance is good, which is important."
"Dell XtremIO is good for databases and huge workloads."
"The feature I like most about Dell Xtremio is its hardware quality compared to other vendors. It's clear they're continuously improving their research and development."
"The program is very stable."
"So far, we have yet to have a disk fail on either system, other than one I forced to fail when we first got the system in. So the reliability of the 3PAR system has been outstanding."
"It provides very fast deployment. The performance for our most critical applications is very quick."
"We use for our tier one and two apps, so they can do failover, synchronous replication."
"It has helped with more than just serving data, but also with recovery."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Our applications are now at least two to four times faster."
"The most valuable feature of HPE 3PAR StoreServ is its storage capabilities."
"They provide very good support for our mission-critical processes."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"We need better data deduplication."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"I would like to see the ease of deployment and built-in Metro clustering."
"The physical architecture could use some higher levels of redundancy."
"It is very expensive to scale. You have to buy an additional system to extend from one disc, for instance. It is scalable, but extremely expensive to do so."
"I believe having more replication options comparatively to VMAX (other than RecoverPoint) would be great."
"Management and reporting need improvement."
"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."
"It needs a way to determine the deduplication of each LUN and what the impact would be if we were to move data from one LUN to another."
"They can improve the product by providing an HTML5-based interface instead of the Java GUI based application."
"The tool has low storage and low performance. This can be solved by adding more disco to the solution. The product’s pricing is also suited for enterprise businesses rather than smaller ones.I would like to see better performance, UI, and compatibility with other products in future releases."
"The new feature sets, like deduplication and compression, are complex to work with. I hope when I view the roadmap that they will be less complex."
"While the stability is pretty good, it could always be improved upon."
"I would like to have single click upgrades because the process is cumbersome right now."
"The replicating software is pretty complicated. I probably would have put it on a sequence."
"Generally, the management of the multiple systems that we have is really the only problem, always having to go to all these separate tools to manage everything."
"We had a minor error when we were configuring this system, which initially detracted from its overall stability."
"It needs the addition of InfoSight, which is the most critical, along with predictive analytics and AI."
