We performed a comparison between HPE 3PAR StoreServ and NetApp FAS Series based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NAS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"The standout features for us in Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its robust DDoS protection, seamless transparent failover, and failback capabilities ensuring high availability."
"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."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"It's helped us because we've changed fundamentally what we talk about. We don't talk about storage and different tiers of storage anymore nor do we talk about servers. We talk now about applications and how applications impact the business and end users."
"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."
"The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"HPE can login, fix things, alert us to things, and upgrade. We are there and aware, but we do not do the work. So, that is good."
"Good performance because it's an all-flash system. Basically, our applications run faster."
"It's advantageous in terms of the cost, in terms of the performance, and taking up less space."
"The remote copy group failover is very useful and has helped us."
"We have been able to scale faster and get our applications out in much less time. We don't need to worry about the platform's ability to manage the workload, so we are pretty happy."
"Provides High-Availability, security, and high performance"
"It has improved the ability of the executives to get proper insights."
"It is a rugged, performance system; it is trouble-free and a workhorse."
"The new FAS series is a good fit for some customers. We have good performance and capacity, even though it is full flash."
"We can manage our applications from a single dashboard."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The migration of the volume on the cluster is very useful and easy to use."
"The support is very good."
"Reliable storage solution with an easy setup. It has high availability and makes single file restoration easy. It also has good stability and scalability."
"The most valuable feature of the NetApp FAS Series is its stability."
"Snapshot, deduplication, and compression features are valuable."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"We would like to see VNC integration or be able to use Pure Storage with VNC."
"We need better data deduplication."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"It is on the expensive side."
"Sometimes the required upgrades have been a little bit involved: "You have to do this before you do this," and I want them to explain to me why. It's more work than it should be."
"3PAR needs to keep on increasing its capacity."
"The interface could be improved to match the system."
"It would also help if they integrate current technologies, newer technologies, and more efficient technologies, as time progresses. For example, integrate the fourth level of NAND devices."
"The main problem for 3PAR right now is cost."
"The initial setup was easy. However, we get stuck on preconditions. We were not aware of some of the preconditions."
"We are still waiting for the compression feature to be deployed."
"The cloud-based monitoring Infosight would be better if users are automatically enrolled in the cloud/group based on the configuration or information gathered or uploaded on the internet."
"It could be more flexible in terms of configuration."
"We would like to have further integration with some backup products. They have some of them already, but there could be more."
"If our customer needs a high-performance storage solution then we don't recommend this product."
"The NetApp FAS Series is not as high-performing and is not as fast. Its speed needs improvement, but this could only be done if it's an all-flash solution."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern, so from an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made cheaper."
"It's not a cheap system. It is very expensive. The pricing has been ridiculous every time that we had to renew the support."
"NetApp FAS Series should introduce an FTP application for the broadcast and post-production market."
"The adoption of flash by NetApp has also been lagging behind the trendsetters, like TMS, Nimble, and others."
