We performed a comparison between HPE StoreOnce and HPE 3PAR StoreServ based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Based on the parameters we compared, HPE 3PAR StoreServ came out ahead of HPE StoreOnce. Even though both products have similar deployment difficulties, price range, and support quality, HPE StoreOnce has fewer valuable features than HPE 3PAR StoreServ.
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"The duplication algorithm allows us to get a lot more use out of less storage. We're running a five terabyte array right now and we're running probably about 30 terabytes on it. So the duplication rate is pretty phenomenal, without a cost to performance. It still runs pretty smoothly."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"The solution is scalable."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"The biggest benefit is the fact that it's pretty much bulletproof; we never have any issues with them."
"We have much better performance than we managed earlier and are now saving lots of space."
"Its performance is good. We have a lot of applications that have high I/O, and 3PAR handles those with no problem."
"It is easy to scale, easy to manage, and easy to configure."
"This product is stable, aside from the performance problems we had."
"We're hosting virtual infrastructure on the 3PAR storage and it's been very good for that."
"The chunklet technology is the main benefit out of 3PAR. The way it subdivides. It is using more logic to subdivide the drives into smaller pieces."
"The stability is what we consider to be the best feature it provides. The stability of this solution is what conquers us, every day."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"I like the tool’s deduplication feature. We get a ratio of 9:1 for deduplication. The product is also Linux based. Last year, our organization faced some virus attacks. However, the backup was safe because of the product being a Linux version. HPE StoreOnce is a secure product."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"It is on the expensive side."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"Every time I think of something that needs to improve, they're one step ahead, which I love. The only area I wish to see improve, I believe is coming, is in the FlashBlade product. Blade implementation fell short on a few of the services."
"We have run into a couple of instances recently where we are running out of space. So we have had to buy some more packs for it and they have deployed fine and it has increased smoothly."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"I think cloud integration would probably be the biggest part, because that's where everyone is going and the seamless integration between on-premise and cloud is an important part of any IT strategy today."
"The price of this solution should be lower."
"We are still waiting for the compression feature to be deployed."
"3PAR has StoreOnce and replication. I would like it if they worked together. Or, if I had Nimble and put that either in DR or a primary cohesive management, but still use the cool features of 3PAR, that would be awesome."
"The first array that they sent us was in some type of a factory mode. We didn't find that out until we loaded a bunch of data onto it, then we had to back it all off. We had to replace the array, which was sort of painful."
"It's still an older architecture, you've got a lot of physical spinning disks. I would imagine more the memory-based computing is coming."
"We have issues with scalability because 3PAR has limited storage capacity, so we have to invest more after a while."
"It needs better dedupe. It is hard for all the older generation arrays to put up dedupe because they tend to do the other stuff so much better. They have to keep the stability before any other new feature."
"We archive our backups on tape, so I feel like if we could somehow plug our tape drive directly into the StoreOnce device and set it up to where it would archive based on, if some kind of rules based engine or what have you, that would really be an improvement for us."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"HPE StoreOnce Backup to Disk (BTD) is not a good backup solution for NAS devices. It does not have a dual controller, so if one controller fails, the entire system will go down."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
