Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Modular SAN (Storage Area Network)."After being properly configured, it has been a very stable product."
"We have much better performance than we managed earlier and are now saving lots of space."
"I have a lot of applications that need higher IOPS, and 3PAR achieves this operation normally without any issues for the management."
"It is a really stable product. We have not had any major issues at the moment."
"It all works in concert using Recovery Manager Central (RMC). HPE coordinates it all, so it is more of a solution instead of products trying to do things together."
"The remote copy group failover is very useful and has helped us."
"The most valuable feature is the uptime. It doesn't go down. You can do firmware updates on it, no issues."
"The speed is very good."
"The performance is better than with our previous version."
"The initial setup was easy. However, we get stuck on preconditions. We were not aware of some of the preconditions."
"Sadly, the support from HPE has not been all that great. It is tough to get a tech out or get a response from some of the techs that we have."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"I would like to have more details on alerting. It is not real granular right now. What It gives you is sort of basic, and we can't do a lot of tweaking on our own. We would like to be able to tweak some of the alerts for our team."
"Cloud integration could be better. They can also add an NVMe to port to that. I would like to see NVMe in the next release. That's the future or the near future for storage. That will give us a real high throughput and some performance."
"I would like to see NVMe support, not only on the disk side, but also in the NVMe over Fibre Channel."
"This solution only provides active-passive replication, as opposed to active-active."
"The hard part with the initial setup was that we were on EMC VNX and trying to get those converted over into the HPE 3PAR, that process took awhile, along with scheduling downtime to get some of the physical stuff migrated over to the new device."
"We are not satisfied with the cost of licensing and would like to have a better price to performance ratio."
