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."The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is the all-flash storage performance, low latency, and efficiency of their de-duplication technology. Additionally, the ease of use is good compared to other storage systems. The features in data protection, snapshotting, and replication between data centers and sites are superior to other solutions."
"The speed of the Pure FlashArray is very, very fast and nothing in the market can compare to it."
"The back-end data reporting for Pure Storage is phenomenal. The data that you can see on the performance of your customers' array, so you can be proactive about upgrades or enhancements, and is a phenomenal tool to have access to as a partner. I haven't seen this type of stuff out of anything of the other storage systems."
"NVMe data storage platform that's easy to set up and easy to use. It's stable, with a lower response time, and quick technical support."
"Their support system has insight into errors on our SAN fabric that we can't see. They've brought attention to and raised awareness for us about things that we couldn't see, when we were experiencing problems."
"All our junior partners can administer the storage arrays. It is simple and easy to use. We don't have to dedicate a whole team of full time people to work on it."
"The tool is simple and easy to use. It has neat features like protection from device removal. Moreover, you can undo the deletes. The solution is easy to work with and not as complicated as CAC"
"It has improved my organization because now have lower latency, we get fewer complaints from customers, and we see a constant response time."
"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 most valuable features are that it is fast and reliable."
"Xtrem10's features are more simple to implement. The integration and interface are also good."
"It was very easy and straightforward to setup."
"Performance and deduplication. This is a very robust block storage option that offers both performance and data optimization."
"Dell XtremIO is good for databases and huge workloads."
"The program is very stable."
"The Metro clustering and solid-state performance, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Very recently, we are able to do a lot of data center automation by being able to script some of the 3PAR actions for our private cloud."
"I am a system integrator, so we sell a lot of 3PAR storage to our customers. Our business has increased compared to previous days."
"The most valuable features for me are the simple management of the platform and its performance."
"We like something called Virtual Volumes and how we can do thin provisioning."
"It has a really powerful tool to measure data, how it is working, the performance, and if we have any bottlenecks."
"The intelligence around the solution is good."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ has a good interface, it is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The product stands on its own in heavy enterprise environments."
"The credentials on the iSCSI interface are only available to type in with the Chrome browser, and not with the Firefox browser."
"I would love for them to have a hyper-converged solution."
"We would like to see more cloud support, which we know is coming, although it's not out yet. It's going to be released in the next versions. That would be the biggest win, if additional cloud support is built into the array."
"It is not possible to create a cluster on top of multiple arrays."
"I would like some performance analytics which go deeper than today. It should be specific to some hosts and applications. This would be good."
"I would like to see active replication. I know that it's available now but I haven't tried it yet. I hope that it works."
"What it needs to do is work a little closer with solutions, like VMware, so it understands the particular workloads that are on it. Today, it does not understand the applications which are running against it."
"Historical analytics would be useful. At the moment, they don't have any type of application built for historical analytics."
"In the next release, the solution could have better integration and if we can host assets on the cloud, such as NetApp has the NetApp volumes, which we can host on the cloud directly called NetApp CVO (cloud volume ONTAP). Dell EMC should come up with something purely on the cloud rather than manage services."
"XtremIO is coming to its end of life."
"I would like to see more scalability."
"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."
"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."
"If you are looking at flash storage solutions, XtremIO doesn't offer any unique features. Most of my customers are migrating their workload from XtremIO to other formats because of this."
"Scalability is something that can be improved because there is an issue when it comes to mixing versions."
"Sadly, the support from HPE has not been all that great. It is tough to get a tech out or get a response from some of the techs that we have."
"The solution must be vertically and horizontally expandable."
"I want artificial intelligence. I don't want anybody from my team to touch it anymore. I want the AI to do everything."
"We would like to see a bigger integration with the Nimble Storage solution, so we can take our smaller regional companies and be able to send them into our bigger data centers and have everything work seamlessly."
"We would like to see the ability to not only be integrated with hybrid IT, but on-prem."
"The solution’s customer support could be improved."
"Sometimes control is rebooting and nobody knows why, so there are issues."
"As a management tool, it would help us to have more customer reports."
