We performed a comparison between HPE 3PAR StoreServ and Huawei OceanStor 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."The initial setup was straightforward in the way that it was a database vacuum storage."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is its high stability level."
"The solution has probably reduced my power use substantially."
"The support team is available all the time and they seem to know what they are doing."
"The reliability is very good."
"It's extremely stable and has good performance."
"It reduces space and the polar consumption. It also accelerates the application."
"All our junior partners can administer the storage arrays. It is simple and easy to use. We don't have to dedicate a whole team of full time people to work on it."
"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."
"Whatever failures you have, there is no single point of failure. So, any failure, you get an alert, you have time, you plan the fix, the replacement, and so on. So your operations are intact."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ is easy to use and has good performance."
"The intelligence around the solution is good."
"The ease of management is its most valuable feature. It is so much easier to manage storage on a 3PAR array than anything that we have had before."
"The speed is very good."
"It has improved uptime, as well as speed to delivery."
"The compression features are good."
"We get a quick response in case any component defaults. We have seen the benefits mostly."
"The most valuable features of Huawei OceanStor are the dashboards, bandwidth, and data performance."
"The performance and ease of management are the most valuable features."
"Great value for money."
"The most valuable feature is the availability."
"Huawei OceanStor is easy to manage."
"Huawei OceanStor is designed with built-in high availability features, such as fault tolerance, ensuring consistent data access and minimizing downtime."
"Generally stable with good technical support."
"We would like to integrate it more with our backup solutions."
"I would like to see them develop the ability to integrate with more AWS services. There are increasingly more and more services coming out from AWS but there are also certain constraints where we can't move everything over to a cloud as well. We would like for things that are on-premise to be easily integrated with AWS."
"It took us a year to get it to stabilize and to get the best out of Pure."
"The primary drawback is the cost, which can be prohibitive for small configurations."
"The support for NFS protocols right out-of-the-box need improvement. I'm used to other storage vendors who have NFS support right out-of-the-box, and Pure Storage doesn't seem to have anything."
"The initial setup was a little complex. We had some initial issues with the design and had to help correct some of the white papers for it, but it wasn't your standard use case."
"I would like the ability to swap out the network adapters into it. So, without taking out the whole controller, I would like to be able to swap adapters. This would make things easier."
"There's always an opportunity for new feature functionality."
"3PAR has StoreOnce and replication. I would like it if they worked together. Or, if I had Nimble and put that either in DR or a primary cohesive management, but still use the cool features of 3PAR, that would be awesome."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ could have better integration into the cloud and converged infrastructure."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ should increase the storage capacity."
"While the stability is pretty good, it could always be improved upon."
"I would like to see more virtualization: storage virtualization, data virtualization would be very nice."
"I would like to see improvement in the product's scalability. As a partner, I had serious problems because of the competition from Dell EMC and Pure."
"Its price is a bit high for adding another tree."
"This solution should be easier to use."
"Could have a more stable, lighter Metro and better logging system."
"We did experience a little latency with this solution."
"The main concern is regarding the usability of the data storage."
"I would like to see more iterations and direct integration with other solutions."
"Its data replication features work slowly for nodes."
"I would like to see more integration features with different platforms."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"Configuration complexity and the tools available."
