We performed a comparison between HPE 3PAR StoreServ and Oracle Sun ZFS Storage Appliance based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Modular SAN (Storage Area Network) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's pretty stable and scalable. I think we've only had a couple of issues, three disk outages in six years."
"Scalability, because our customer is fast growing and our solution should be able to start very small and grow very quickly."
"The most valuable feature is the uptime. It doesn't go down. You can do firmware updates on it, no issues."
"Tech support is great, and that is for any of their team who has ever worked with us. They are willing and committed to making sure the customer is treated the way we need to be."
"HPE can login, fix things, alert us to things, and upgrade. We are there and aware, but we do not do the work. So, that is good."
"We have been able to scale faster and get our applications out in much less time. We don't need to worry about the platform's ability to manage the workload, so we are pretty happy."
"It is easy to set up, easy to use, and user-friendly. It is easier to work with HPE 3PAR than with Hitachi. Its technical support is also good."
"Good performance because it's an all-flash system. Basically, our applications run faster."
"I like its storage capacity, quick access to the data, speed, and overall storage management."
"I would like to see a little better integration with OneView and provisioning ESX Hosts."
"I would like an easier user interface and setup to help with deployment. There were many areas of the setup where I was like, “Why don't we do it this way?” Therefore, some of the things in the user interface could have been more refined, so you don't have to click in 5000 different places to accomplish one goal. Less clicks means more efficiency."
"We need additional enhancements to InfoSight, especially from a VM standpoint. Today, we can see in the Azure VM performance stats in 3PAR, but it is so huge, we can't just drill down on each and every VM and look at its performance."
"The initial setup was complex, due to calculating the amount of performance that we needed for the floor."
"With 3PAR, there is remote copy software which isn't very good."
"...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 like to see more virtualization: storage virtualization, data virtualization would be very nice."
"I would like to have support for On-The-fly reallocation Data when using VVoL."
"The main thing Oracle can improve is the cost. It would be better if Oracle opened up the system to enable integration with other vendors. Whether it's the database, application server, or storage appliance, they should make it easy to integrate them. They need to open up more to ensure that it can work in any environment and IT ecosystem."
