We performed a comparison between HPE StoreEasy and NetApp Private Storage 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."The solution's most valuable feature is the duplication."
"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."
"This solution allows me to better and more easily manage user data without impacting my primary storage."
"I like the tool's provisioning feature and OneView."
"I like the user quotas, integrations, and separations for storage."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreEasy is the storing of virtual machines."
"NetApp has really added a lot of features over the years to improve the product and performance. They can do things now like control ingress. They can control egress."
"Integration with other NetApp solutions and merging them is manageable."
"The solution scales well."
"As opposed to cloud, we have full control over security, use, who uses it. We own a number of different companies, so we can partition however we want."
"The solution is stable."
"NetApp is faster than other storage brands."
"It gave us a platform which could clearly arrange all our files and volumes."
"At the moment, we are extensively using SnapMirror."
"I would like to improve the tool's technical support. I would also like to see the product's hybrid cloud version."
"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."
"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."
"When I configure the StoreEasy in a complex environment I have problems finding compatibility with all the software."
"NetApp Private Storage is still integrated into the ISCSI connectivity and the FC protocol. I would recommend them to migrate to the FCIP because the SAN switches are moving further to an FCIP, and are scaling out of the ISCSI connectivity. Sooner or later, that will be an issue for NetApp Private Storage. An NFCIP should be available to them moving three years down the line."
"There is room for improvement in the support. It has been a problem for our team."
"I'm not sure how easy it is to use on the cloud versus on-prem. If they have different user experiences, they should work to make the two as similar as possible to make it easy for a user to understand both even if they only deal mainly with one."
"The users find the new version's GUI complicated to use."
"It is not the fastest storage solution."
"They need a little more technical people in Akola. Most of the NetApp people are in Bangalore, Mumbai, or Delhi, but there are very few in Akola. I think NetApp has few technicians in Akola because they mostly rely on partners to service this area."
"I would like to have the Active-Active feature. Some competitors already have it. I would like NetApp to add it to stay competitive."
"The solution could improve by having better support experts. For example, they do not have clear instructions on configuration."
