We performed a comparison between HPE 3PAR StoreServ and VMAX [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage.
"The most valuable features are the replication of data and the continuous snapshot that we can take from the disc."
"NVMe data storage platform that's easy to set up and easy to use. It's stable, with a lower response time, and quick technical support."
"The all-flash disc is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"This solution is very scalable."
"This solution has helped my organization by cutting down on provisioning time. I used to have to provision a VM and it would take ten minutes. Now, it takes thirty seconds."
"It gives us capacity planning."
"The support team is available all the time and they seem to know what they are doing."
"It reduces space and the polar consumption. It also accelerates the application."
"The InfoSight feature helps us with troubleshooting problems in our environment."
"We have much better performance than we managed earlier and are now saving lots of space."
"The solution has improved our throughput by helping us keep up with the demand and acquisitions that we have been going through."
"I am a system integrator, so we sell a lot of 3PAR storage to our customers. Our business has increased compared to previous days."
"The solution is quite stable and scalable."
"Any action we want to do with a Dell EMC product needs a license. But with 3PAR's converged solution, at least there is no need to purchase more licenses to get the all the features that we need. We can get basic and mid-range features without licenses."
"We have additional space in the enclosures for additional disks, so we can scale up without any downtime."
"With the HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity, we can grow as required."
"This solution is resilient."
"I like the many new features, especially the all-flash solution."
"We have been able to present storage from the VMAX to hosts without any problems."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the interface and performance."
"A rock solid foundation to deploy applications which cannot incur a disruption of service."
"It works with our replication technology, which is not SRDF, which is native replication technology."
"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."
"Its price needs improvement. Its price is almost double than any other flash storage solution."
"In the next version of this program, I would like to see increased security, higher encryption, and faster throughput."
"A three wave application or multi wave application synchronization would be an improvement."
"I would like to see more detailed reporting on the data. However, it would be nice to know what are the exact VMs usage after deduplication and/or what that VMs actual latency and bandwidth is, outside of VMware."
"I feel like there is too much automation; the user doesn't have any manual input."
"I'd like to see a move towards individual VMs for what the performance of each VM is in a VD infrastructure. I can see the overall volume, but I would love to see things in a more granular level on the VM side."
"I would like to see more cloud integration."
"The only time that we had problems with it was that there was a bug in the VVol implementation but, outside of that, it has been flawless."
"The solution lacks reliability."
"3PAR needs to keep on increasing its capacity."
"The cloud-based monitoring Infosight would be better if users are automatically enrolled in the cloud/group based on the configuration or information gathered or uploaded on the internet."
"We would also like to see improvements to the ease of administration of 3PAR."
"We had a minor error when we were configuring this system, which initially detracted from its overall stability."
"It is suitable for medium-sized businesses and data centers with less number of users and less important data. It is not really an enterprise-level solution. It needs more capacity. It is also not really stable. It should be more stable. It should also support any server model. It is really weak in this area."
"This solution is becoming dated."
"It needs the addition of InfoSight, which is the most critical, along with predictive analytics and AI."
"I'd like to see improvements where we can scale out an existing array and remove older controllers\drives\etc., within the same subsystem."
"The way you configure larger size volumes needs improvement."
"Resilience replication, reporting, and performance need to be improved."
"I would like to see support for high-availability."
"I would like this solution to integrate the solution that EMC vPlex offers."
"The cluster support should be improved."
"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."
"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."
