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."It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"It is very easy to install and configure. It has got excellent diagnostics. If you really need to see how the box is performing, the console gives you a lot of information. You can set thresholds as well as alerts based on the thresholds, which is a very powerful functionality. They are very proactive. They know how to monitor and manage the systems. They see a problem, and they are all over it before us. They see the problem before we see it, which is very good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"For access from virtual machines, iSCSI, and NFS, it is very good. It helps increase performance."
"It's a great product. Integrating PowerStore with the IT workflow is easy."
"This solution is very useful to us as we use it internally for all of the services that we need. We use it as a lab and we showcase new technology to the customers and how it can help them going forward."
"It is very easy to use. Access is very friendly. It shows you a lot of important information at the first glance. It has been very easy to use."
"The simplicity and ease of use have been very valuable features. I have a very small team, and only half of the team is well versed in the HP product. Whereas if I bring PowerStore in, everyone can learn it because it will be new on the floor."
"The support is very good."
"Typically, high-performance and high-availability features, such as application snapshots and remote and local replication, are highly valued."
"Its flexibility is valuable because we have had some moments where we had to adapt, and it has been quite flexible."
"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."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"You cannot tag a LUN with a description, and that should be improved. What I like on the Unity side is that when I expand LUNs or do things, there is an information field on the LUN. This is the Information field that you can tag on your LUNs to let yourself know, "Hey, I've added this much space on this date". Pure lacks that ability. So, you don't have a mechanism that's friendly for tracking your data expansions on the LUN and for adding any additional information. That's a downside for me."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"It's also only supported with a limited amount of switches."
"The storage could be improved. I would like a feature for how to best secure an appliance and the storage since we are connecting the container to the public cloud. I would like them to develop another level of security, making it more secure than from what they have now."
"It was very new when we first deployed it a year ago. Even the upgrade processes and knowing what to expect, as well as documentation, could be more robust."
"PowerStore's management console could be improved."
"Dell PowerStore is a good solution overall, but some models could support hypervisors better by allowing for more customization and flexibility for customer needs."
"It needs more mature code."
"After the smooth launch of the product in our company, only the areas around upgrades are a bit problematic. In our organization, we face difficulties when updating the product."
"The pricing could be lower. It is very expensive."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."
"The latency is a bit high."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."
