We performed a comparison between HPE StoreEasy and NetApp Private Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NAS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"This solution allows me to better and more easily manage user data without impacting my primary storage."
"I like the tool's provisioning feature and OneView."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreEasy is the storing of virtual machines."
"I like the user quotas, integrations, and separations for storage."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the duplication."
"The most valuable feature of NetApp Private Storage is out-of-the-box integration with the SAN switches. They are much easier compared to Dell solutions. Additionally, the connector that comes with the solution that allows connection back to the Cisco SAN switches is very good. In Dell, I would need to use an FCIP or CIP port that is required."
"The solution is stable."
"At the moment, we are extensively using SnapMirror."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"NetApp is faster than other storage brands."
"As opposed to cloud, we have full control over security, use, who uses it. We own a number of different companies, so we can partition however we want."
"NetApp has its own dedicated operating system, so it will not be affected by any wireless piggybacking or malware. That's the beauty of NetApp's operating system."
"It gave us a platform which could clearly arrange all our files and volumes."
"The cluster service is not available in the latest version of HPE StoreEasy."
"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."
"When I configure the StoreEasy in a complex environment I have problems finding compatibility with all the software."
"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."
"I would like to improve the tool's technical support. I would also like to see the product's hybrid cloud version."
"There may actually be so many features that the end-user gets lost in the volume."
"It is not the fastest storage solution."
"The users find the new version's GUI complicated to use."
"We had to write a number of custom tools or scripts ourselves to use it as a staging area between our on-premises datacenter and our cloud installation."
"I think that it should work better with Microsoft solutions, more integrated with Microsoft. We also need integrated NAS and block storage."
"The solution could improve by having better support experts. For example, they do not have clear instructions on configuration."
"The hardware does not last as long as it could with new software."
"I'm not sure how easy it is to use on the cloud versus on-prem. If they have different user experiences, they should work to make the two as similar as possible to make it easy for a user to understand both even if they only deal mainly with one."
