We performed a comparison between HPE 3PAR StoreServ and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) 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 tool has reduced our power consumption."
"What I like most about this solution, is the speed, resiliency and scalability."
"Their REST API is wonderful, well-documented, and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is its upgradeability."
"Provides fast access and is user-friendly."
"I never have to worry about its performance or if it is the root cause of an issue."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are the management view of the solutions, ease of provision, and deprovision, it is fantastic."
"This solution has allowed for massive performance acceleration of all workloads and massively increased availability (with peer persistence/transparent failover feature)."
"In the deployment of virtual servers, I can have a new VM up and running in 15 minutes, run the patches, then done. I routinely fire up base images that I have for my servers: Server 2008 R2, 2012 R2, and 2016. I routinely fire those base images up and do all the updates, then prep them again for cloning. With 3PAR, we definitely have the performance to do that. Those images I do keep on SSD just to have that performance to deploy a new VM."
"We're hosting virtual infrastructure on the 3PAR storage and it's been very good for that."
"We know exactly the capacity that we need for the upcoming year, and it's much easier for us to enlarge the capacity and expose these disk volumes to the relevant servers."
"I am a system integrator, so we sell a lot of 3PAR storage to our customers. Our business has increased compared to previous days."
"It is worry-free. I do not have to sit there and tend it."
"Tech support is great, and that is for any of their team who has ever worked with us. They are willing and committed to making sure the customer is treated the way we need to be."
"I like the integration with VMware and the provisioning. We also use data compression but not for any of the critical applications."
"The virtualization environment is now much easier to manage and maintain, there is only one vendor to call in case of issues and one single console to manage everything."
"The tool is simple, stable, and easy to upgrade. It also requires few resources to manage, which simplifies our work. The solution's ease of upgrading is its valuable feature. AHV, provided by Nutanix, is excellent in performance and ease of use. It's based on an open-source product called KVM, which I also use for other services."
"The architecture of Nutanix is the best, and the virtualization we get, out of the box, is an advantage. Also, dedupe and compression are done natively, inside the platform, so there are no additional licenses. That adds value to it."
"This is a complete, very user-friendly product."
"The solution is very stable. We haven't had any issues."
"One major thing that comes up again and again is stability. Our downtime is literally based on hardware upgrades that need to be done. Acropolis is very, very user friendly. You don't have to physically have a super IT guy to manage the system. You can actually give it to a younger guy to manage and there won't be problems. And if he makes a mistake, it's very, very easy to fall back and sort out the mistake."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is it has centralized management."
"Acropolis has a great interface and lots of management features packaged with it at an affordable price."
"The solution is not cheap."
"The connectivity needs improvement. You do not have the possibility to have a file and block connectivity at the same time on the same machine. It has limited ability to do so."
"As long as they always improve on IOPS speed, that's all we're really looking for. The faster the storage can be the more we can do speed of application and speed of use."
"Automation could be simplified."
"The setup needs to be improved the most. They can do a little more with the user interface, but the setup is what I would like to see made a bit easier."
"In some cases, we get into very in-depth conversations around movement of specific data and, what's more, chunk sizes. The documentation lacked any description or information on that."
"I would like to have support available in Spanish."
"Pricing could be better in comparison to other solutions."
"HPE has a product that I am very interested in, but it lacks of integration with 3PAR - HPE SimpliVity."
"This solution is becoming dated."
"The price is a little bit high."
"There is a slight difference between what we expected and what was delivered."
"The solution must be vertically and horizontally expandable."
"From an overall perspective, all the latest technologies can improve support and performance. This is very important for us."
"We have had some challenges in the Arabic implementation and in migration, but for daily work, it's fine."
"The tool has low storage and low performance. This can be solved by adding more disco to the solution. The product’s pricing is also suited for enterprise businesses rather than smaller ones.I would like to see better performance, UI, and compatibility with other products in future releases."
"Make it easier to manage."
"The look and feel of the web GUI of this system needs improvement, when compared to other systems. Its hardware integration also needs improvement."
"I would have liked it if Nutanix were a hardware as well as a software platform."
"When we have issues with the solution, they tend to be around networking."
"I would like better integration of XenServer into the AOS and Prism Central."
"The name of the solutions offered by Nutanix does not indicate what the tool does."
"The patch updates of Nutanix Acropolis could be improved. I'm work on the corporate side, but I get feedback from our IT team that patch updates and other updates are taking a significantly longer time. This definitely needs to be resolved. We are in discussion with Nutanix regarding certain configuration issues we are having, so maybe something can be changed to ease these patch updates."
"Nutanix needs to improve network features like Passthrough – SR-IOV. It could be improved by supporting SR-IOV, if they had that support, I would not have needed to implement the VMWare vSAN."
