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."I like its speed. It has all the features that I need."
"We put a fair amount of stress on it because we run sequel workloads and we run web applications where the same web files are hit over and over. We have had almost zero stability issues with that SAN, that has been really great for us."
"Pure Storage FlashArray's overall speed is its most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are the replication of data and the continuous snapshot that we can take from the disc."
"The speed is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The speed of the Pure FlashArray is very, very fast and nothing in the market can compare to it."
"The data reduction technology part of the scalability has been impressive, like its ability to host additional workloads, volumes of data, and databases."
"Most of the problems that we had in the past with the performance in IOPS have disappeared. It has been a great improvement for our customers' services."
"The guaranteed sub-millisecond response time for a 4K block."
"Deduplication and cloning capability"
"A valuable feature of XtremIO is that, in terms of administration, it's simple and manageable."
"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."
"It has very good performance for an application which needs lower latency and a better response, for example, in microseconds."
"Ease of management, aside from the serious performance, is the best feature."
"The most valuable features are that it is fast and reliable."
"Their support is the most valuable. The support that we are getting from HP Turkey is very good. This product is better than some of the other products in terms of reliability. It is very reliable."
"All-flash has been the most innovative way of using storage based on the 3PAR platform."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ is easy to use, fully featured and has a great graphical user interface."
"The product stands on its own in heavy enterprise environments."
"They are using Ansible to automate the provisioning, so that simplifies the day-to-day operations."
"The most valuable features for me are the simple management of the platform and its performance."
"Our applications are now at least two to four times faster."
"We have much better performance than we managed earlier and are now saving lots of space."
"We would like to see better troubleshooting aspects. It helps us if we can find out where the problem is. Right now, it's difficult. Sometimes it's difficult to pinpoint the issue. If they had more visibility and more troubleshooting feature built into the tool that would really help."
"If they could make it cheaper, that would be something."
"Historical analytics would be useful. At the moment, they don't have any type of application built for historical analytics."
"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."
"I had to contact customer support when a drive failed as I was doing a couple of OS upgrades."
"I would like to see more detailed reporting on the data. However, it would be nice to know what are the exact VMs usage after deduplication and/or what that VMs actual latency and bandwidth is, outside of VMware."
"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."
"In the next release I would like to see integration into other third-party player providers like Google."
"This solution is geared toward enterprise-level companies. Small and medium-sized businesses would find it extremely expensive."
"I would like to see the ease of deployment and built-in Metro clustering."
"I would like to see more scalability."
"The solution needs to be simplified. When you integrate your storage with other systems, could use a little bit of automation."
"Native data replication: To replicate data between XtremIO devices, you need to use EMC’s RecoverPoint appliances to move the data."
"The product could be improved by reducing the pricing and having better organization in their technical support team."
"Sometimes we don't get an immediate response from the support team. The initial POC also took a lot of resources."
"The implementation isn't exactly complex, but the solution should have some enhancements in it to make the process more centralized."
"Our support in the US has been phenomenal, no issues at all. But the European support was poor initially."
"Sometimes control is rebooting and nobody knows why, so there are issues."
"It's a little bit difficult to figure out where the capacity is used. There is deduplication that, of course, saves space, but it sometimes it's hard to find out where the space is used. If you delete something, do you get it back? So it's not very transparent regarding capacity."
"Would like to see some management functions through a web interface."
"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 management console could use some work. All the functionality is there, of course, but it can be hard to find some features or do certain tasks."
"We are still waiting for the compression feature to be deployed."
"We would like to see deduplication and hybrid in the next release of the solution."
