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 this solution is reliability."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"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 is very easy to install and configure. It has got excellent diagnostics. If you really need to see how the box is performing, the console gives you a lot of information. You can set thresholds as well as alerts based on the thresholds, which is a very powerful functionality. They are very proactive. They know how to monitor and manage the systems. They see a problem, and they are all over it before us. They see the problem before we see it, which is very good."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"The latency is good."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"The program is very stable."
"Speed and reliability:"
"The solution's most valuable features are the inline data reduction and deduplication."
"Dell XtremIO is good for databases and huge workloads."
"The Metro clustering and solid-state performance, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"A valuable feature of XtremIO is that, in terms of administration, it's simple and manageable."
"The most valuable features are: complete performance and ease of use."
"It is great for applications like Microsoft Exchange, ERP, SQL and VDI; basically saved the VDI buy-in from users, as now performance was seamless in comparison to a physical PC."
"Previously, we were using EVA from HPE. When we moved to 3PAR, we noticed a reduction in footprint, reduced by more than 30%. We use the Adaptive Optimization, giving us a reduction in cost and with better performance."
"The product lasts a very long time without having to be replaced. It's had a very long life."
"We're hosting virtual infrastructure on the 3PAR storage and it's been very good for that."
"I really like the new RMC (Recovery Manager Cental) software that was introduced with the 3.0 or 3.1 update. It allows us to use our data protector with our 3PAR and give it a nicer front-end than the SSMC did."
"I have a lot of applications that need higher IOPS, and 3PAR achieves this operation normally without any issues for the management."
"It is reliable, and it seems like a solid product. It has been working well so far."
"It's a very popular product for enterprise storage."
"We're using the all-flash arrays and, with the deduplication and compression, it just really fits our virtualization environment very well."
"We need better data deduplication."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"The software layer has to improve."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"Right now, external appliances are needed to replicate XtremIO to XtremIO, or to another EMC system."
"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 is coming to its end of life."
"Sometimes we don't get an immediate response from the support team. The initial POC also took a lot of resources."
"I am not too impressed with XtremeIO because we had a major failure."
"The physical architecture could use some higher levels of redundancy."
"XtremIO needs to be lower priced. It also needs better endpoints and scalability."
"Get rid of the Java aspect of the GUI console."
"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."
"The tool needs improvement in the utilization report at the granular level."
"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."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ should increase the storage capacity."
"The newer versions have some other characteristics that we are not using. We would like to use them and set them up in our current version."
"The product is quite expensive."
"Security is a mandatory feature because our customer needs to protect delicate information."
"We would like to see dedupe and compression allowed on all drive types."
