We performed a comparison between HPE 3PAR StoreServ and NetApp FAS Series based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NAS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"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 features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"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."
"The Call Home feature is really a great feature, so I do not need to monitor the 3PAR. The 3PAR team is monitoring it and letting me know if there are any problems."
"It is a stable solution."
"For virtualization, the failure rate is much less compared to traditional storage where you need more hard drives"
"We saved a ton of power just turning off our old one when we went to the new one."
"Very recently, we are able to do a lot of data center automation by being able to script some of the 3PAR actions for our private cloud."
"With the new flash arrays, 3PAR has improved our performance."
"It works well and we don't have any issues with this solution."
"Its performance is good. We have a lot of applications that have high I/O, and 3PAR handles those with no problem."
"Fast Snapshots"
"It is a scalable solution."
"NetApp FAS Series is simple to set up."
"Reliable storage solution with an easy setup. It has high availability and makes single file restoration easy. It also has good stability and scalability."
"The most valuable feature of the NetApp FAS Series is its stability."
"It's an easy product to use that is stable and has good performance."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Ability to use mirroring and SnapVault have made backup no longer necessary."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"If the customer only needs 500 terabytes and doesn't care how much data they'll put in the server, IBM is cheaper than Pure."
"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."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"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."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"The newer versions have some other characteristics that we are not using. We would like to use them and set them up in our current version."
"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 would like to see deduplication and hybrid in the next release of the solution."
"I need flexibility for interoperability across multiple platforms, not just HPE."
"There are some weird things that we can't figure out."
"As long as they can keep the solution stable, it will be good. Stability is very important to us."
"The initial setup was easy. However, we get stuck on preconditions. We were not aware of some of the preconditions."
"I would like to see NVMe support, not only on the disk side, but also in the NVMe over Fibre Channel."
"It's not a cheap system. It is very expensive. The pricing has been ridiculous every time that we had to renew the support."
"I would like to see less latency and higher IOPS."
"The AutoSupport could be improved to be more proactive in certain cases."
"Cost is always a factor. Some people choose EMC or Dell because they perceive NetApp as being more expensive."
"We are not able to connect to the support of NetApp from Sudan. We have to go through many agents for support, which makes it difficult."
"There is no NetApp infrastructure set up here in Greece."
"The product must support more drives."
"For long term partnership in Myanmar, the local warehouse should be built in Myanmar that's something I'd like to see. We have some issues with supply so there is sometimes a delay in getting the hardware."
