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 most valuable feature of HPE StoreEasy is the storing of virtual machines."
"I like the tool's provisioning feature and OneView."
"I like the user quotas, integrations, and separations for storage."
"I can use both the on-premises and cloud storage options. I need to have an APR extension from StoreEasy, and it's that simple."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the duplication."
"This solution allows me to better and more easily manage user data without impacting my primary storage."
"Data deduplication is one of the most valuable features of this solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is compression."
"IBM FlashSystem is the best solution for storage virtualization."
"The compression and deduplication features are the most valuable."
"The GUI is very easy and performance is also good."
"The Flash core models offer amazing performance."
"Ability to manage third-party arrays and virtualise them: One screen to control multiple arrays. Simplified administration."
"The most valuable features are deduplication and compression, which together, enable you to have more space."
"We need some monitoring tools and it would be helpful if they were included."
"The support of HPE StoreEasy can improve its responsiveness. Dell support is better."
"It would be better if it were more scalable. In the next release, I would like to access some Microsoft Windows storage server features. I guess the newest version of Windows Server has some restrictions."
"The cluster service is not available in the latest version of HPE StoreEasy."
"I would like to improve the tool's technical support. I would also like to see the product's hybrid cloud version."
"When I configure the StoreEasy in a complex environment I have problems finding compatibility with all the software."
"Product support is restricted to IBM only. It must be decentralized to IBM partners as well."
"The ease of installation should be improved. We had issues with the configuration model."
"Additional licenses might be added for the fundamental licenses, such as those for copying and flash copies."
"The basic setup can be challenging when it comes to certain IP addresses and the configuration of the IP. You have to go in to different menus to makes changes and ensure it is stable."
"The solution has a low number of NVME host attachments at 16 per IO group over the fiber channel."
"One area for improvement is in the GUI, where host clusters are not properly dealt with. With Hypervisor host clusters, all hosts must see the same volumes in the same order. Using the concept of a “host-group” has been around (even with IBM) for many years, so why not with the V7000?"
"The solution should improve its pricing and the mechanism in the reduction pool."
"Our model does not support compression or deduplication."
