We performed a comparison between HPE Primera and HPE StoreOnce based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We're able to get higher-density workloads on the same infrastructure, and we have a smaller physical footprint. The performance is excellent – during our test the bottlenecks are never on the X array, it just keeps picking up the pace to match what you need. The real-time visibility is a differentiator in my opinion."
"The Pure1 component is most valuable at this point in time when comparing it with EMC. Pure1 is where you can have your diagnostics in the cloud, so you can look at things from your mobile phone."
"It's helped us because we've changed fundamentally what we talk about. We don't talk about storage and different tiers of storage anymore nor do we talk about servers. We talk now about applications and how applications impact the business and end users."
"It's incredibly easy to use and greatly simplified our ability to both deploy and manage our storage subsystems."
"The most valuable features of Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its superior performance compared to other flash tiers, as well as its ease of use, with an intuitive user interface that is simple to deploy and use."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"We sold Primera to a public university, and they're happy with it. They have been using it for about four months with no significant problems."
"The most valuable feature is an all-flash system, which means the data access speed is amazing while the latency is almost nothing, and it can deliver IOPS up to 16,000."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Primera's main advantage is its support for NVM drives and normal flash drives. It has some sort of AI analysis that automatically tells us how to optimize the performance."
"The most valuable feature of HPE Primera is its performance and simple replication."
"Our customers have given very positive feedback about InfoSign, which is the management software for this solution."
"The performance of the solution is good."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"The most valuable features for us are the ease of use, the reliability, and the exceptional deduplication that we get across that data that we store on those devices."
"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"We need better data deduplication."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"Right now, the box itself is just strictly working as a backend storage system. It would be fantastic if we could access it directly like a NAS device through network access or SIS drives. I think they have an interface, but I am not sure how good it is. If we could address a box directly on the network without having to go through a server, it would be great. The replication schemas could be improved. We are not using replication on the storage level right now. We use a different type of replication. If their replication would be as good as the one that we have, I would probably run the replication schema because it might be faster, but I don't know that for a fact. So, I cannot say that they have good replication. All I can say is that they need to inform us better."
"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."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"The price of the product is an area of concern. From an improvement perspective, the solution should be made more affordable in terms of price."
"We used to receive hardware errors a lot of times. The ambient temperatures rise rate was approximately 35 to 55 degrees, but when it was approximately 27 or 28, we used to get errors a lot."
"The product’s price needs improvement."
"On the hardware side, you should have the ability to expand capacity to larger numbers."
"They could work to make scalability easier."
"We have not had a good experience with support from HPE Primera. They can improve."
"The reporting console can be improved with out of the box reports."
"Primera should be more user-friendly."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"Agnostic backups."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I believe HPE StoreOnce could learn from competitors like Dell's Data Domain and ExtraHop in refining its architecture."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
