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 improved my organization because now have lower latency, we get fewer complaints from customers, and we see a constant response time."
"Redundancy and the fault tolerance of the platform are the most impressive."
"We put a fair amount of stress on it because we run sequel workloads and we run web applications where the same web files are hit over and over. We have had almost zero stability issues with that SAN, that has been really great for us."
"The data reduction technology part of the scalability has been impressive, like its ability to host additional workloads, volumes of data, and databases."
"The stability and performance are the best things about the solution."
"All updates, upgrades, and hardware work are all performed on-line with no impact."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is its high stability level."
"The security operating system is its most valuable feature because it's very simple, easy to use, and operate. You don't have to do very serious training to operate this equipment. It's user-friendly and pretty straightforward."
"Thin storage allocation"
"XtremIO is very stable."
"Dell XtremIO is good for databases and huge workloads."
"Initially, we faced numerous issues with our analytical systems. However, we saw performance improvement after the implementation of the solution."
"The Metro clustering and solid-state performance, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Deduplication and cloning capability"
"Xtrem10's features are more simple to implement. The integration and interface are also good."
"We've seen great enhancements from the performance point of view. There's good availability, stability, and continuity, but the performance actually has increased by 60 or 70%."
"We're using the all-flash arrays and, with the deduplication and compression, it just really fits our virtualization environment very well."
"There's a lot of good features. HPE 3PAR StoreServ is similar to Dell EMC. It is a high-speed system with automatic failover/failback, integrated with Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware. These are the main reason for choosing HPE 3PAR StoreServ in Denmark. We have a very good consulting service together with the product."
"If it runs, and you don't know about it, that is the best thing that you can have in IT infrastructure. This is what 3PAR does for us."
"Our applications are now at least two to four times faster."
"The most valuable feature is the uptime. It doesn't go down. You can do firmware updates on it, no issues."
"This product is stable, aside from the performance problems we had."
"The compression features are good."
"This solution has given us improved application uptime and performance."
"In the next release I would like to see integration into other third-party player providers like Google."
"Most of our upgrades have not been as smooth as they should have been."
"It was a little costly. The price was ultimately higher than both of the other solutions that we evaluated. I'd say that's the only downside."
"If we suddenly dump large amounts of data onto the storage system, it takes a while to process it."
"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."
"It's not so scalable. It's got moderate scaling capabilities right now. The clustering technology needs a bit of work, they need to improve that."
"I would like to see them lower the costs."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"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."
"The product could be improved by reducing the pricing and having better organization in their technical support team."
"In some cases where we don’t need the flexibility of the virtualization layer, we could free up resources on the VPLEX by using the storage replication."
"They can improve the product by providing an HTML5-based interface instead of the Java GUI based application."
"Management and reporting need improvement."
"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."
"This solution is geared toward enterprise-level companies. Small and medium-sized businesses would find it extremely expensive."
"The solution needs to be simplified. When you integrate your storage with other systems, could use a little bit of automation."
"We would like to see deduplication and hybrid in the next release of the solution."
"Its price is a bit high for adding another tree."
"The solution lacks reliability."
"The first array that they sent us was in some type of a factory mode. We didn't find that out until we loaded a bunch of data onto it, then we had to back it all off. We had to replace the array, which was sort of painful."
"In the next release, I would like to see faster upgrades, where it's really transparent to our host and our end-users."
"As a management tool, it would help us to have more customer reports."
"We are seeing that there are some enhancements which are required in the SSMC console. There are some features that we do not see in the dashboard."
"We have issues with scalability because 3PAR has limited storage capacity, so we have to invest more after a while."
