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."Pure Storage is extremely reliable — it's never failed."
"It helps to simplify storage. For most of our customers, when they move to Pure Storage, storage becomes an afterthought."
"The product cheaper compared to other solutions concerning the technology that they are using."
"The ease of use. That's what our customers love. They say it's very easy, they don't need special training, they don't need to call us or any other company or integrator to help them do their job. That's the main reason they purchase Pure."
"Very efficient storage"
"I like FlashArray's ActiveCluster as well as its snapshot and cloning capabilities."
"We also use VMware integrations developed by Pure, their plugins in our vCenter environment. They help by allowing our non-technical operations teams to deploy new data stores and resize data stores without me having to involve myself all the time to do those simple tasks."
"It has improved my organization because now have lower latency, we get fewer complaints from customers, and we see a constant response time."
"The technical support has been fantastic."
"The solution is stable."
"It has helped a lot for times when our customers do DR testing. Instead of having to spin down and spin up, I can do it live and seamless. I do not have to schedule downtime with an organization."
"OneView is a nice interface."
"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 tech support is great. If we have a problem, we literally will have boots on the ground with senior sales people, as well as the people to fix the problem, to help make sure we are taken care of."
"The all-flash positions our organization for growth. If somebody comes to us who needs an application with performance, we have that already formulated."
"The 3PAR tool is cheaper to maintain with more storage available."
"Two things really stand out for me. First, there's group cloning, which is very nice. It simplifies managing multiple clones across the group. Second, Huawei's multi-controller architecture with load balancing is a good part."
"The platform's most valuable features are reliability, intelligence, and fast performance speed."
"I've been satisfied with the level of attention I'm given when I reach out to technical support."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the price to performance ratio."
"This is a stable product that we can use for DR in production."
"The product offers good performance."
"The platform’s most valuable features are speed, accuracy, and encryption."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"I would like to see support for NVMe, end-to-end."
"I want to learn more about command line usage which I have not explored much yet. However, there are many automated solutions for repetitive tasks. I would like to see additional features like performance monitoring, configuring of alerts, and the customization of alert thresholds in the next release."
"Self-backup is the only feature lacking in this solution."
"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"The price of this solution could be improved."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"They could improve the price."
"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."
"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 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."
"I would like to see an automatic re-balancing system or functionality for adaptive optimization."
"As long as they can keep the solution stable, it will be good. Stability is very important to us."
"This solution only provides active-passive replication, as opposed to active-active."
"Generally, the management of the multiple systems that we have is really the only problem, always having to go to all these separate tools to manage everything."
"I would like to see the ability to be able to migrate to newer versions of the 3PAR without having to take any of our data offline and be able to upgrade on the fly."
"...sizing is everything. If you don't do the sizing right and you don't understand every detail of the product, how it works, you can be in a very unpleasant situation when you pay half a million dollars and you have a product that does not work as you expected."
"I would really like to see Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization in a future release."
"The product could always be faster."
"Difficult integration with third parties."
"The data compression and deduplication ratio of Huawei OceanStor Dorado is not as good as other solutions, such as EMC and Pure Storage. It is important when looking at capacity effectiveness."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
"The solution's price could be better."
"One of the key areas that need enhancement pertains to the software procurement process."
"Engineers with two to three years of experience with Huawei will find that Huawei OceanStor Dorado is a bit complicated to use compared to other Huawei storages."
