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."Lone segmentation is simpler and more agile. It's improved the velocity in overall provisioning from project to operation."
"The first year, we started out with one or five terabytes and it took what was 20 terabytes of storage down to less than one terabyte."
"It has made working with storage as easy and simple as it should be."
"The data reduction technology part of the scalability has been impressive, like its ability to host additional workloads, volumes of data, and databases."
"We also like the compactness, the small footprint. It takes up very little space in a data center and uses little power."
"This solution has helped my organization by cutting down on provisioning time. I used to have to provision a VM and it would take ten minutes. Now, it takes thirty seconds."
"We consume less physical storage because of the solution’s deduplication and compression."
"The sales and executive support have been outstanding compared to the rest of the market... My upgrade paths have been simple on the Pure... It's a lot simpler to implement and a lot simpler to manage."
"The Metro clustering and solid-state performance, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its high performance."
"Very good IOPS performance"
"The speed is extremely valuable."
"Initially, we faced numerous issues with our analytical systems. However, we saw performance improvement after the implementation of the solution."
"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."
"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%."
"Ease of management, aside from the serious performance, is the best feature."
"The solutions has increased our performance. We went from 24,000 IOPS to around 70,000 IOPS."
"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."
"Its snapshot capability is the most valuable feature, because replicate our databases from production to nonproduction for development. This allows us to do it very quickly."
"The technical support is very good."
"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 feature of HPE 3PAR StoreServ is its storage capabilities."
"If there is a problem then the HPE facility will detect it and immediately contact me."
"Whatever failures you have, there is no single point of failure. So, any failure, you get an alert, you have time, you plan the fix, the replacement, and so on. So your operations are intact."
"The time-to-market could be better at times, but I think that's true for all vendors of hardware."
"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."
"As long as they always improve on IOPS speed, that's all we're really looking for. The faster the storage can be the more we can do speed of application and speed of use."
"The backend of this solution utilizes an Active/Passive architecture, rather than an Active/Active architecture, which is a disadvantage, when compared to some of its competitors. Its storage capacity should be expanded in the next release."
"I would love for them to have a hyper-converged solution."
"The product should improve its response time. I have also encountered issues with its configuration."
"It would be nice to have a better view of the allocated capacity on their Platform as a Service solution because we have to do some manual calculations to understand how much we are going to pay every month to use the storage that is allocated."
"The scalability of the solution is not as good as it probably could be."
"I am not too impressed with XtremeIO because we had a major failure."
"Native data replication: To replicate data between XtremIO devices, you need to use EMC’s RecoverPoint appliances to move the data."
"Right now, external appliances are needed to replicate XtremIO to XtremIO, or to another EMC system."
"The implementation isn't exactly complex, but the solution should have some enhancements in it to make the process more centralized."
"They can improve the product by providing an HTML5-based interface instead of the Java GUI based application."
"The management should be improved and the GUI interface could be better and easier."
"Get rid of the Java aspect of the GUI console."
"I believe having more replication options comparatively to VMAX (other than RecoverPoint) would be great."
"The setup was complex from the perspective of the employees having to go through five days of training. If they simplified the administrative process of maintaining the unit, that would go a long way."
"HPE gives you how to get everything going, but it would be nice if they could go a little deeper sometimes. That is always the case: To get the value-add, you have to pay for those services."
"Here in Algeria, we are facing a lot of trouble finding partners and getting support from HPE. There should be better support here in our country."
"The initial setup was complex, due to calculating the amount of performance that we needed for the floor."
"The onsite techs have caused outages."
"The solution’s customer support could be improved."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The solution could be improved in regard to space reclamation by adding automation."
