We performed a comparison between HPE 3PAR StoreServ and NetApp Private Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NAS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is quite stable and scalable."
"The solution offers good stability."
"The 3PAR tool is cheaper to maintain with more storage available."
"The compression features are good."
"It allows us to cohost as needed. We are able to put more systems on one data storage system and it is still able to deliver the availability and speed that we need it to deliver."
"It is a really stable product. We have not had any major issues at the moment."
"The solution, stability, and the performance work well for us."
"The solution has improved our throughput by helping us keep up with the demand and acquisitions that we have been going through."
"As opposed to cloud, we have full control over security, use, who uses it. We own a number of different companies, so we can partition however we want."
"It gave us a platform which could clearly arrange all our files and volumes."
"The solution is stable."
"Very stable and very scalable."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"Integration with other NetApp solutions and merging them is manageable."
"NetApp has its own dedicated operating system, so it will not be affected by any wireless piggybacking or malware. That's the beauty of NetApp's operating system."
"NetApp has really added a lot of features over the years to improve the product and performance. They can do things now like control ingress. They can control egress."
"Although we experienced malfunctions where a virus was running and it failed."
"It's still an older architecture, you've got a lot of physical spinning disks. I would imagine more the memory-based computing is coming."
"There are some weird things that we can't figure out."
"Security is a mandatory feature because our customer needs to protect delicate information."
"3PAR needs to keep on increasing its capacity."
"I would like the documentation easy to find. There is a lot of documentation, but sometimes it is hard to find. You have to do a lot of searching to find it."
"This solution only provides active-passive replication, as opposed to active-active."
"We are still waiting for the compression feature to be deployed."
"NetApp Private Storage is still integrated into the ISCSI connectivity and the FC protocol. I would recommend them to migrate to the FCIP because the SAN switches are moving further to an FCIP, and are scaling out of the ISCSI connectivity. Sooner or later, that will be an issue for NetApp Private Storage. An NFCIP should be available to them moving three years down the line."
"It is not the fastest storage solution."
"We had to write a number of custom tools or scripts ourselves to use it as a staging area between our on-premises datacenter and our cloud installation."
"They need a little more technical people in Akola. Most of the NetApp people are in Bangalore, Mumbai, or Delhi, but there are very few in Akola. I think NetApp has few technicians in Akola because they mostly rely on partners to service this area."
"There is room for improvement in the support. It has been a problem for our team."
"The users find the new version's GUI complicated to use."
"I would like to see the GUI management simplified in the next release."
"The hardware does not last as long as it could with new software."
