Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Nasuni and others in NAS."The predictive analytics, where we're getting notifications prior to a failure has been helpful."
"This solution has allowed for massive performance acceleration of all workloads and massively increased availability (with peer persistence/transparent failover feature)."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ is easy to use, fully featured and has a great graphical user interface."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The performance has been fantastic. It has not had many issues whatsoever, and what issues they do have, the support picks up on it quickly. They send us tickets saying that they are doing work without us even having to engage them."
"Scalability, because our customer is fast growing and our solution should be able to start very small and grow very quickly."
"It is easy to manage and performs very well."
"The scalability is good because it is easy to add in new disks. We just add them on the fly, and they are available for use."
"We've found the product to be quite flexible."
"I am impressed with the tool's performance and bandwidth."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ's pricing could be cheaper."
"3PAR did not increase our performance, and it has increased our latency by at least double."
"Feature-wise, with the InfoSight additions, there is a lot of the stuff missing in the intelligent interface. As they grow and push, a lot of it will not tie into Hyper-V."
"The interface could be improved to match the system."
"A lot of tasks, you have to manually set up. They need to already have them set up and working. Then, you can just go in and tweak them if you need to."
"We would like to see deduplication and hybrid in the next release of the solution."
"The Unified Multiprotocol Access to the storage array needs to be improved."
"I would like to see more storage, a better interface, and to move from mechanical disks."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"We have received complaints from customers that the tool is not easy to use. The tool's local technical service is slow. The solution is good for Linux customers and not for customers with other operating systems like Windows. The solution should provide storage without client software integration."
