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 solution is easy to scale. I'm running two environments right now, so I need to scale. I'm running a part technology. I've got an A-side and a B-side."
"The best feature is consistently lower latency, even when IOPS crank up to over 75K. The product maintains submillisecond response time, which is incredible."
"The initial setup was straightforward in the way that it was a database vacuum storage."
"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."
"The job of support for the storage engineers dramatically changed. We know more quickly the automation of the provisioning. We can now focus on things that bring more value to the company than just managing storage."
"We are very happy with the data deduplication and compression ratio that we have on the platform."
"It's very fast and very easy to use. It performs well and is both flexible and compatible. We like it because it's easy to use."
"Its array houses our entire production environment."
"Thin storage allocation"
"Very good IOPS performance"
"The speed is extremely valuable."
"A valuable feature of XtremIO is that, in terms of administration, it's simple and manageable."
"Speed and reliability:"
"Ease of management, aside from the serious performance, is the best feature."
"The most valuable features are that it is fast and reliable."
"The most valuable features are: complete performance and ease of use."
"Multi-tier storage was the primary reason that we bought it. I also love the interface that you use for administering it."
"It is very easy to manage. I can provision disks and monitor the performance easily."
"We have our backups set up to replicate between two sites, then we also have our storage set up to replicate between two sites."
"The deduplication is pretty impressive because it will shrink. We also do some clones in addition to the snapshots, where we can have multiple clones. These reduce the actual written storage by as much as 50 percent."
"It's reliable and it's fast."
"We have had it for about two years and had zero problems with it."
"We're hosting virtual infrastructure on the 3PAR storage and it's been very good for that."
"With the HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity, we can grow as required."
"Part of our company works on Dell EMC because Pure Storage did not have synchronous applications when we were purchasing our products."
"I would like to see data tiering to AWS."
"The system has dual controllers but does not have a high level of resiliency built-in."
"Currently, the solution fails to support file screening."
"The time-to-market could be better at times, but I think that's true for all vendors of hardware."
"I would like a feature to integrate with external or cloud solutions. For example, if I want to use this storage for a backup from the cloud, I want to have integration with the cloud vendors, such as Microsoft, Oracles, or Amazon. It could be available as an API to allow seamless integration. Additionally, the solution could improve by having native integration with a cloud provider, such as VMware or Microsoft, this would reduce the need to use third-party solutions to complete the task."
"It took us a year to get it to stabilize and to get the best out of Pure."
"When we were doing some tests, we found that there was an I/O freeze when they were switching the controller."
"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."
"Native data replication: To replicate data between XtremIO devices, you need to use EMC’s RecoverPoint appliances to move the data."
"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."
"Get rid of the Java aspect of the GUI console."
"Management and reporting need improvement."
"I would like to see the ease of deployment and built-in Metro clustering."
"Scalability is something that can be improved because there is an issue when it comes to mixing versions."
"In the next release, the solution could have better integration and if we can host assets on the cloud, such as NetApp has the NetApp volumes, which we can host on the cloud directly called NetApp CVO (cloud volume ONTAP). Dell EMC should come up with something purely on the cloud rather than manage services."
"The price of this solution should be lower."
"I would like to see an automatic re-balancing system or functionality for adaptive optimization."
"We do see room for improvement, especially in regard to expanding the defined storage areas."
"An area of improvement for this solution is an increase in the bandwidth as well as an upgrade of the storage functionality and capabilities. The storage needs to be expandable for future-proofing."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ could have better integration into the cloud and converged infrastructure."
"Although we experienced malfunctions where a virus was running and it failed."
"The GUI was a little hard to figure out how to use."
"We would also like to see improvements to the ease of administration of 3PAR."
