"I can use both the on-premises and cloud storage options. I need to have an APR extension from StoreEasy, and it's that simple."
"Data deduplication is one of the most valuable features of this solution."
"The most valuable features are deduplication and compression."
"IBM FlashSystem is a powerful effective storage solution. Additionally, it is user-friendly, anyone can use it."
"The initial customer technical support was efficient and effective."
"One of the valuable features is the performance, it is one of the best in the market."
"The most valuable feature is that is supports a high IOPS rate."
"We are a 100% satisfied with the stability of the solution."
"It's a mature product. It's like a BMW that evolves consistently."
"It would be better if it were more scalable. In the next release, I would like to access some Microsoft Windows storage server features. I guess the newest version of Windows Server has some restrictions."
"We need some monitoring tools and it would be helpful if they were included."
"The cluster service is not available in the latest version of HPE StoreEasy."
"The support of HPE StoreEasy can improve its responsiveness. Dell support is better."
"I would like to improve the tool's technical support. I would also like to see the product's hybrid cloud version."
"When I configure the StoreEasy in a complex environment I have problems finding compatibility with all the software."
"I would like to see an improvement in the handling of large amounts of rights."
"If you want to expand, you cannot expand the disc enclosure. You have to buy a total individual node. Sometimes, this is difficult because we are just looking for capacity and not a node."
"The deduplication and compression ratio is not very good. It's not reaching a very high ratio."
"They can improve its initial configuration. The initial configuration is currently very difficult. There are multiple choices or alternative ways to configure based on the use case and what you are targeting out of the device, that is, more capacity or more performance. These multiple alternatives cause a lot of confusion. They should increase the processing part of the nodes. Currently, you can cluster up to eight nodes. From my experience and the workload that I am facing in my environment currently, I would like to see either a bigger or stronger node or a larger number of nodes that can be clustered together. We formally communicated to them that we need to see either this or that, and they are working on something."
"Their technical support needs improvement in terms of reachability for the clients and response times. They should be more responsive and have more online platforms for support. They should make more technical information available online. There could be some kind of documentation community."
"The security features can be improved such that the encryption does not affect performance in any way."
"Events/log analysis tools."
"When you provision a datastore auto-format takes a long time"
