Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"The solution is scalable."
"FlashArray has some fresh efficiency features. I've never seen a storage solution with a compression rating this high before. It's at least 4-to-1 on Oracle databases. It's the best flash storage for Oracle."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"The compression features are good."
"The technical support has been fantastic."
"Multi-tier storage was the primary reason that we bought it. I also love the interface that you use for administering it."
"Having moved over from a lefthand, which was seven or eight years old, there's a massive boost in performance. It has definitely improved the speed, the responsiveness, of all our applications."
"3PAR is easy to keep running and does not require too much effort. It has been very reliable, which is key."
"We deployed 3PAR in the national and international markets. It's not bad, the solution."
"It is easy to add drives. When you add drives into it, it automatically recognizes them and spins them up."
"The solution has improved our throughput by helping us keep up with the demand and acquisitions that we have been going through."
"They are a large company with good best practices, and they give good support."
"Technical support has been great."
"We find the pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is very stable...The solution is very scalable."
"The solution uses minimal resources."
"The intelligent policies feature is used in order to protect the VMware infrastructure. One of the things that makes a big difference for our company is the usage of these intelligence policies. The system automatically provides extra protection for any VMware server application or service. From a backup administrator's point of view, this is what we call peace of mind. It reduces the workload and therefore reduces resources needed from the company."
"The initial setup gets easier the more you do it."
"The most valuable features of Veritas NetBackup Appliance are the ease of use and the familiar interface."
"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."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"Our use cases require more multi-tenant capabilities and additional VLAN interfaces for separating different customers. We currently use it to provide storage, sometimes shared storage, to different customers, but it is less flexible in comparison to a dedicated solution."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"An area of improvement for this solution is an increase in the bandwidth as well as an upgrade of the storage functionality and capabilities. The storage needs to be expandable for future-proofing."
"We are using a built-in solution in 3PAR. We are using All-Flash Storage, and there are some difficulties with it. HPE has now developed a new tool system to support All-Flash, and that's why we are changing our investment. They must increase its performance. I want unlimited support, which is very important for performance. I am not interested in spinning disks. HPE is developing new storage systems called Primera, but they must be developed more."
"Integration with some cloud services would be nice... We would like to be able to provision from the 3PAR and decide whether or not we are going to provision onsite or the cloud."
"I would like to see a faster Ethernet connection. Right now, it is 10G. If they could do multiple hundred gigs to speed up the transfer from the array to the servers, that would be good. We are trying to get away from Fibre Channel."
"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."
"HPE could improve by raising awareness when a new product is launched. They must think of ways to better serve and engage with their enterprise customers. HPE is selling enterprise products and mission-critical support."
"I would like to see more virtualization: storage virtualization, data virtualization would be very nice."
"I would like to see an automatic re-balancing system or functionality for adaptive optimization."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve by having a site recovery feature."
"It's hard to get to the backups. There are too many tabs."
"They need to make the licensing more clear. They should give all of the licensing details for the portals and be more clear. I have accidentally purchased the incorrect license because it's not clear."
"They could simplify the process of installing, and provide more space for data during the process."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance can improve by having a more direct connection to the cloud. It should have the technology to be able to directly communicate with the cloud."
"I would like the ability to recover a single folder within the backup of a virtual machine."
"More licensing options could be introduced to the software. It is currently based on capacity only. Compared to competitors, it is difficult to position it economically everywhere. From the usability point of view, they are making many improvements on new interfaces, the SaaS offering, etc."
