Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The console is simple to use. It has good performance. It is easy to install, understand, and manage, with a good ratio of deduplication and compression. It is doing its job."
"I never have to worry about its performance or if it is the root cause of an issue."
"It is always out of the box, and ready to use."
"The stability is perfect. The reliability is 100% and the latency is always lower than 1 millisecond."
"The code upgrades are very smooth."
"It upgrades in place which means we'll be using it well into the future."
"The most valuable feature is test performance. It helps us store large amounts of data along with providing us faster retrieval of data."
"Lone segmentation is simpler and more agile. It's improved the velocity in overall provisioning from project to operation."
"The compression features are good."
"It provides very fast deployment. The performance for our most critical applications is very quick."
"It's a very popular product for enterprise storage."
"It is easy to use and understand. It is also very stable."
"We never had a blackout and we have never been offline."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ is easy to use and has good performance."
"I like that 3PAR can remake the disk online. That's one of the best features because when we first started, that was the best. The team provisioning feature was also a good one. Those features are the best for me, provisioning and online optimization, and the tier you can have for storage."
"It has a really powerful tool to measure data, how it is working, the performance, and if we have any bottlenecks."
"Scale out is a differentiator for them, especially in the enterprise market. It's key for a lot of customers."
"The capacity that we're saving by using Kaminario's K2 is giving us a four-to-one ratio for our deduplication."
"The speed and, for us in particular in what we're doing, the data de-duplication."
"Logic/software management"
"Implementation of the solution is very simple."
"The GUI is very straightforward and easy to use."
"Built-in snapshot support gives us SAN-side functionality most other platforms would have had us license separately."
"Data reduction and snapshot abilities: Smaller footprint in the datacenter (lower cost for power, cooling, etc.)."
"Areas for improvement would be the financial operations. In the next release, I would like to see a NAS protocol included."
"Historical analytics would be useful. At the moment, they don't have any type of application built for historical analytics."
"In terms of the future, I have been excited by some of the copy data management stuff that they're talking about building into the environment. There are feature sets where I've done a lot of automation work. So, I am always looking forward to extensions of their API. They're also talking about a phone home centralized analytics database being used as a centralized management console with a list of new cloud features, but this doesn't seem finalized."
"A three wave application or multi wave application synchronization would be an improvement."
"I would like to see them develop the ability to integrate with more AWS services. There are increasingly more and more services coming out from AWS but there are also certain constraints where we can't move everything over to a cloud as well. We would like for things that are on-premise to be easily integrated with AWS."
"In the next version of this program, I would like to see increased security, higher encryption, and faster throughput."
"We need to add more storage in Pure Storage FlashArray with the cluster mode activated for us to have better performance."
"On a couple of occasions, the waiting time for an upgrade has been pretty substantial."
"The product is quite expensive."
"This solution is now at end-of-life."
"3PAR has StoreOnce and replication. I would like it if they worked together. Or, if I had Nimble and put that either in DR or a primary cohesive management, but still use the cool features of 3PAR, that would be awesome."
"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."
"I would like to see more storage, a better interface, and to move from mechanical disks."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ is at its end of life and they are forcing us to purchase new hardware. They will no longer support this solution. They should provide support for a longer time. For example, 10 years instead of five years."
"The availability of technical resources within HPE is becoming a challenge due to availability."
"I would like to see the ability to be able to migrate to newer versions of the 3PAR without having to take any of our data offline and be able to upgrade on the fly."
"The system currently has a 15TB LUN size limit and that snapshots need to be scheduled through script API instead of the GUI."
"I think it should have better performance with small files. With big data, its performance is top notch, but it is difficult to load small files."
"A single pane of glass to monitor/manage multiple arrays would be helpful."
"The interface look and feel could be improved."
"Access to technical support should be improved for our region. Technical support is good, but they're very hard to access."
"I would love to see capacity on its DRAM. I know it's not cost effective for them to do it, but I think that it could be a big differentiator and was a big differentiator from the beginning."
"I would like to see LDAP for the management panel; I've been notified they might be currently working on it."
"Improved scale and budget planning with flexibility of the solution for budget needs and efficiency for growth with the great optimization ratio due to the nature of our use."
