We performed a comparison between HPE EVA and IBM FlashSystem based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Modular SAN (Storage Area Network)."HPE has reliable support for HDD replacement."
"There have been no fail-stop failures for the last five years."
"It is very stable."
"IBM FlashSystem has an easy to use GUI, similar to the IBM Storewize family, which make it one of the best flash storage systems in the market."
"When it comes to the interface of the solution we did not encounter any challenges. Additionally, the solution has good documentation."
"I like most of the features. Its speed, performance, and availability are valuable. We are implementing the data reduction technology the most."
"The speed of the unit is its best feature. It performs very well."
"IBM FlashSystem has been stable in our operations."
"This solution is really user friendly. It also offers good performance and is highly reliable."
"This solution is very stable."
"The most crucial feature of IBM FlashSystem is compression."
"Performance could probably be improve with faster controllers, but it is already an old device. We do have performance problems now, but it is a rather old device, so we have what we have."
"This solution could be improved by offering greater amounts of storage."
"It could be easier to implement."
"The deduplication and compression ratio is not very good. It's not reaching a very high ratio."
"The price is very costly."
"It is slightly more expensive, however, it all depends on your supplier."
"The customer's expectations are what they get on the cloud, they're expecting even in the on-premises deployments, going forward."
"The pricing could be improved, but I think it's getting better and better with each version. IBM needs to implement NAS storage again, as this is a big flaw. Dell EMC is very good at this and if you compared them based on NAS storage, Dell EMC would win right away. IBM's solution for NAS storage is very complicated. We don't have a storage box that provides file sharing from itself, we have to put software on it and go through a whole complicated process. It should be simplified."
"The solution's pricing is a bit high so there is room for improvement."
