Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."We have tons of capacity on it."
"The predictive performance analytics is a very good feature, as our system is performing better than before."
"Support has been helpful."
"For us, the most valuable feature is the compression and deduplication. Being able to deploy a three to one ratio for storage is absolutely critical in today's world with the growing need for storage and the growing need for more space."
"I like FlashArray's ActiveCluster as well as its snapshot and cloning capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is that maintenance is free."
"The compression and deduplication features help to make the best use of the capacity."
"It does efficient work of storing data while still delivering the performance that you would normally expect from a higher priced solution."
"I found it easy to deploy and simple to configure the storage."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ is easy to use and has good performance."
"The technical support is very good."
"Very recently, we are able to do a lot of data center automation by being able to script some of the 3PAR actions for our private cloud."
"We have much better performance than we managed earlier and are now saving lots of space."
"The Call Home feature is really a great feature, so I do not need to monitor the 3PAR. The 3PAR team is monitoring it and letting me know if there are any problems."
"Valuable features include the intuitiveness of the SAN itself, a lot of the built-in logic and functionality, the tiering that it uses to determine what type of disk is best for the various types of workloads, and the automation that is built in. It's also easy to manage."
"The speed is very good."
"The solution is useful for machine learning and scientific applications, including computer simulations."
"This has been one of the most reliable storage systems that I have ever used."
"The technical support is okay, but could be improved."
"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."
"Historical analytics would be useful. At the moment, they don't have any type of application built for historical analytics."
"Had some issues with Purity not being entirely compatible with VMware ESXi."
"A minor issue that comes to mind is that, every once in a while, a hard drive will go bad."
"It would be nice if Pure had something in its portfolio that provided higher deduplication and compression for backups."
"I would like to migrate to the cloud in the future and know how that would actually work with this product."
"There are many features which need to be added, particularly on the replication side."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ's pricing could be cheaper."
"In the next release, I would like to see faster upgrades, where it's really transparent to our host and our end-users."
"Setting up 3PAR is somewhat complicated, and it took about a week."
"This solution is now at end-of-life."
"We would like to see dedupe and compression allowed on all drive types."
"I need flexibility for interoperability across multiple platforms, not just HPE."
"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."
"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 read/write ratio is an area in the solution with some flaws and needs improvement."
"The write performance could be improved because it is less than half of the read performance."
