We performed a comparison between Hitachi Universal Storage VM [EOL], HPE 3PAR StoreServ, and VMAX [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Hitachi Vantara, IBM, Dell Technologies and others in Frame-Based Disk Arrays.
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"The availability of the server has given us increased stability in our environment."
"I like the speed capabilities that it provides. The deduplication features definitely have some huge potential. The latest firmware, where they've enabled compression for workloads that aren't very good for deduplication, I can definitely see huge potential there."
"It has a really powerful tool to measure data, how it is working, the performance, and if we have any bottlenecks."
"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."
"The technical support is very good."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"With the support that our organization has, I can talk to someone right away if I have an issue. It has been very good."
"We went to an Active-Active data center, set it up to where both data centers are separate, but they act as one. We can have workloads at either side at any given time, and it is all based on the Peer Persistence architecture."
"Deploying, Expanding, and Modifying systems are easier than ever."
"We have never had a bad experience with it because we never had failures. It has good data availability and the performance is also okay."
"This solution is resilient."
"The most valuable features are the interface and performance."
"The interface is good, and it is also customizable."
"VMAX3 is our main system for storage. All our systems and all our virtualizations are connected to it. In terms of expanding it, we are replacing it with a new system, the PowerMax 2000. So our current VMAX3 platform will be decommissioned soon. We are switching to PowerMax 2000 because we are looking for improved performance. We see it as the best fit for our requirements in terms of the performance and the overall cost."
"A rock solid foundation to deploy applications which cannot incur a disruption of service."
"I like the many new features, especially the all-flash solution."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"The main problem for 3PAR right now is cost."
"Anything new can be complex. There were some things in the initial deployment that I was not happy about. One of my directives was, "However, it's configured, ensure that it can never be overprovisioned." That one key thing was overlooked. This is why I had to have a support call last year, because it actually became overprovisioned and I had to move some stuff around."
"The solution lacks reliability."
"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."
"I want artificial intelligence. I don't want anybody from my team to touch it anymore. I want the AI to do everything."
"We do see room for improvement, especially in regard to expanding the defined storage areas."
"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 be able to deploy and manage 3PAR within OneView Global Dashboard so we do not have to use the interface for 3PAR."
"The cluster support should be improved."
"Better speed to release new features that have become industry standards. EMC created so many standards in the past. Now, it seems they are playing a me-too game and lagging behind in some areas, specifically data reduction."
"The pricing is a bit expensive. That is the reason we are now currently we are looking for other solutions. That's the reason we are looking at AFF and Unity. We are also considering PowerStore."
"I'd like to see improvements where we can scale out an existing array and remove older controllers\drives\etc., within the same subsystem."
"I would like this solution to integrate the solution that EMC vPlex offers."
"Resilience replication, reporting, and performance need to be improved."
"I would like to see support for high-availability."
"The way you configure larger size volumes needs improvement."
