Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The reliability is very good."
"We've been using FlashArray's snapshot for backups. Their replication across sites and response time are also excellent."
"It gives us capacity planning."
"The security operating system is its most valuable feature because it's very simple, easy to use, and operate. You don't have to do very serious training to operate this equipment. It's user-friendly and pretty straightforward."
"Having an intuitive user interface to get things running is great."
"The ease of management is one of the most valuable features of this solution. I would have also said that it's pretty fast but now our SQL servers are starting to beat it up pretty bad."
"Technical support is excellent. I've had very good responses from technical support. We had a couple of cases where we needed support. Some of the communications were purely over email and some has been an actual call to the service desk."
"The code upgrades are very smooth."
"The compression features are good."
"It has allowed us to set up a fully functioning disaster recovery site with replication, which we have been able to configure between our 3PAR systems."
"Our applications are now at least two to four times faster."
"I have a lot of applications that need higher IOPS, and 3PAR achieves this operation normally without any issues for the management."
"With the support that our organization has, I can talk to someone right away if I have an issue. It has been very good."
"After being properly configured, it has been a very stable product."
"I think the storage is very good, the way it stores, the thin provisioning it provides, and the data protection. And it's easy to deploy in any environment. We are using VMware. So for me, it's a right click and it's deployed. We can configure and create LUNS very easily with 3PAR management, and the interface is very user-friendly. Easily understandable."
"Their support is the most valuable. The support that we are getting from HP Turkey is very good. This product is better than some of the other products in terms of reliability. It is very reliable."
"This has been one of the most reliable storage systems that I have ever used."
"The solution is useful for machine learning and scientific applications, including computer simulations."
"I would like to see a Nagios monitoring plugin which watches the health and performance of the system. The only one available just checks volume capacity."
"It is a bit expensive."
"We would like more extended historical data to help with some of the capacity planning. This is something that we are asking for all the time. E.g., what was the historical performance of this particular volume? So, we would like more historicals."
"Pricing could be better in comparison to other solutions."
"It took us a year to get it to stabilize and to get the best out of Pure."
"I can't see where they can make anything better, unless, of course, they lower their prices even more."
"Its price needs improvement. Its price is almost double than any other flash storage solution."
"This product has only two active controllers, whereas other solutions can have more. This is something that needs to improve."
"In the next release, I would like to see faster upgrades, where it's really transparent to our host and our end-users."
"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."
"We need longer names for our volumes. Now it's only 28 characters. It should be 64, or at least more than 32 characters."
"The solution’s customer support could be improved."
"I would like to see the reliability improve. While it has been a good product, the QA of the product could be done a little more thoroughly."
"It's a very complex platform to manage and it's not cheap either. It doesn't really give us the level of flexibility we had for very, very small workloads."
"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."
"HP has several integration elements that work with other vendor storage products. I'd like to see a greater expansion on that so that a customer can do a more seamless migration from other vendor products."
"The write performance could be improved because it is less than half of the read performance."
"The read/write ratio is an area in the solution with some flaws and needs improvement."
