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."Because of the encryption, we have different storage and the encryption can go over both."
"NVMe data storage platform that's easy to set up and easy to use. It's stable, with a lower response time, and quick technical support."
"This is the best all-flash storage array on the market."
"The solution offers amazing performance."
"The GUI is very easy to use and intuitive."
"Our storage phones home. It is smart and intelligent in that aspect, which has been huge for us. We don't have to be storage administrators."
"Having fast storage allows actual servers to perform in high capacity so we don't have slowdowns on our applications."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most comfortable pricing, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"It was very easy and straightforward to setup."
"Snapshots are valuable because of their seamless nature, as well as the minimal space each snapshot takes."
"The most valuable features are that it is fast and reliable."
"The program is very stable."
"Xtrem10's features are more simple to implement. The integration and interface are also good."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its high performance."
"XtremIO’s capability to run any workload without much in the way of design considerations makes this very easy to use and size."
"Dell XtremIO is good for databases and huge workloads."
"The optimization features move chunklets or hot spots to faster drives."
"It is a really stable product. We have not had any major issues at the moment."
"We're able to move things around with more agility. I can take it off one server and slap it on another in a couple of minutes... And the speed is outstanding."
"Technical support for both 3PAR and Dell EMC in my country, Iran, is very difficult because we are under sanctions."
"It is fast and stable. It is really helping us a lot in terms of data store, etc."
"We choose 3PAR for its speed. It's so fast and reliable."
"The availability of the server has given us increased stability in our environment."
"Valuable features include the intuitiveness of the SAN itself, a lot of the built-in logic and functionality, the tiering that it uses to determine what type of disk is best for the various types of workloads, and the automation that is built in. It's also easy to manage."
"The initial setup of the product is complex."
"It would be good to have metrics of the box's performance so we can see what it delivers, but currently, I can't see what it's actually doing."
"We would like to integrate it more with our backup solutions."
"This product has only two active controllers, whereas other solutions can have more. This is something that needs to improve."
"The system has dual controllers but does not have a high level of resiliency built-in."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"The price should be lower."
"In the next version of this program, I would like to see increased security, higher encryption, and faster throughput."
"Scalability is something that can be improved because there is an issue when it comes to mixing versions."
"The product could be improved by reducing the pricing and having better organization in their technical support team."
"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 implementation isn't exactly complex, but the solution should have some enhancements in it to make the process more centralized."
"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."
"In some cases where we don’t need the flexibility of the virtualization layer, we could free up resources on the VPLEX by using the storage replication."
"Get rid of the Java aspect of the GUI console."
"It is very expensive to scale. You have to buy an additional system to extend from one disc, for instance. It is scalable, but extremely expensive to do so."
"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."
"I would like to see improvement in the product's scalability. As a partner, I had serious problems because of the competition from Dell EMC and Pure."
"I would like to see a little bit more integration from a cloud perspective. In this way, I would have some more flexibility to do more with data, how to store it, and where I have it."
"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."
"I would like to see more flexibility with the cloud. I've actually just been in a presentation about it, here at HPE Discover 2018, so those features are coming."
"The price is a little bit high."
"I would like to see an automatic re-balancing system or functionality for adaptive optimization."
"The tool has low storage and low performance. This can be solved by adding more disco to the solution. The product’s pricing is also suited for enterprise businesses rather than smaller ones.I would like to see better performance, UI, and compatibility with other products in future releases."
