We performed a comparison between HPE 3PAR StoreServ and NetApp FAS Series based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NAS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Processes that used to take 40 minutes to two hours can be completed in five minutes."
"It simplifies storage."
"Because we were able to afford to go all flash, we don't manage the tiers, we're not moving data up, and we're not waiting for overnight cycles."
"The GUI is very easy to use and intuitive."
"We were actually able to do multiple upgrades, including head upgrades and moving between the platforms, M20 and M50, over the years. We have never once lost a ping and have never had an outage due to an OS upgrade or a complete head upgrade."
"Having an intuitive user interface to get things running is great."
"It has made working with storage as easy and simple as it should be."
"The tool has reduced our power consumption."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ has a good interface, it is user-friendly and easy to use."
"It allows us to cohost as needed. We are able to put more systems on one data storage system and it is still able to deliver the availability and speed that we need it to deliver."
"The product stands on its own in heavy enterprise environments."
"It is very stable. That is why we bought it."
"It is a rugged, performance system; it is trouble-free and a workhorse."
"The product lasts a very long time without having to be replaced. It's had a very long life."
"It has been very stable. We've had very minor issues, but I've loved how HPE is proactive on letting us know. Usually, they let us know before we notice it ourselves and they already have a solution for us. It has been great that way."
"The solution offers good stability."
"Compression of the backup Oracle by RMAN on NFS saves space 5:1."
"The storage efficiency provided a maximum savings in our storage utilization."
"Snapshot, deduplication, and compression features are valuable."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It allows our Windows and Unix teams to have a centralized point to share data between the two."
"The product is user-friendly and helps to evaluate the performance of each node. It ensures that if one node encounters an issue, the system can immediately redistribute the workload without interruptions. This setup provides uninterrupted operation for our systems."
"Using the built-in Snapshots and SnapMirror technology, we were able to have better working data protection locally and off-site."
"The strong point is that our clients like this are RadLV (Radiology Low-Value). They also use SnapMirror and MetroCluster."
"There are a lot of things to improve."
"If they could make it cheaper, that would be something."
"The technical support is okay, but could be improved."
"I would like to have support available in Spanish."
"We've had it in place for about a year and a half and have had zero complaints, other than that box-to-box replication is not encrypted."
"Some services could be inserted directly into the SAN, so Pure Storage could complete with the HyperFlex."
"Its price needs improvement. Its price is almost double than any other flash storage solution."
"I would like to see more cloud integration."
"I would like the documentation easy to find. There is a lot of documentation, but sometimes it is hard to find. You have to do a lot of searching to find it."
"The solution could be improved in regard to space reclamation by adding automation."
"I would like to be able to deploy and manage 3PAR within OneView Global Dashboard so we do not have to use the interface for 3PAR."
"3PAR needs to keep on increasing its capacity."
"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."
"We would like to see the ability to not only be integrated with hybrid IT, but on-prem."
"It is suitable for medium-sized businesses and data centers with less number of users and less important data. It is not really an enterprise-level solution. It needs more capacity. It is also not really stable. It should be more stable. It should also support any server model. It is really weak in this area."
"We are still waiting for the compression feature to be deployed."
"We would like to have further integration with some backup products. They have some of them already, but there could be more."
"I think this kind of infrastructure is mostly obsolete. To keep up with developments in this space, you need to move all these features to an All-Flash solution."
"For long term partnership in Myanmar, the local warehouse should be built in Myanmar that's something I'd like to see. We have some issues with supply so there is sometimes a delay in getting the hardware."
"Currently, the newest release is not HCI friendly."
"The user interface could be improved to have better graphics and the performance analyzer could be better."
"There are some technical limitations, but it would be great to have in-line deduplication and in-line compression for the FAS series as well."
"The product should improve its user experience."
"I’ve found that I use command line more often than I thought needed. Some things should be done in the GUI, and command-line switches can be overwhelming and take up a lot of time."
