"The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any issues with glitches or bugs."
"It appears to be very stable and very robust."
"Data is stored in two different places, leveraging more security and availability. Therefore, network problems are having less affect on iSCSI."
"A company can scale it easily."
"The solution is very stable."
"HPE StoreVirtual is very easy to use from the management console."
"Simplicity of not having to buy FC or FCoE SAN. Instead, we buy servers with their own storage."
"It allows compute and storage to operate separately, and has the ability to take SAN nodes out of production for maintenance with little effort and zero downtime."
"They know how to clearly present any important data, including data flow and each drive's IOPS/bandwidth; and allow the user to easily monitor bottlenecks and problems"
"Automatic rebalancing is the feature saving administration time."
"Compared to other products in this category that are competing with Dell EMC, Dell seems to us to always come out on top."
"We are using it as the primary virtualization storage (both for internal corporate users and external customers) for VMware and Hyper-V virtualization platforms."
"The solution needs to ensure it is on par with the industry in terms of availability of features and various other options."
"The management aspect of the solution needs to be improved in order to make the product stronger."
"The initial setup could be simplified to make it easier for new users."
"User interface could be improved."
"In our country, Qatar, most of the industry isn't using too much HP. StoreVirtual doesn't move fast. It's not a popular product."
"The GUI is a bit old-fashioned. It should be updated."
"Configuration of application integrated snapshots for VMware is convoluted and it did not work immediately."
"The product is coming to end-of-life in the next three years."
"There is room for improvement in the area of horizontal scaling."
"If they could introduce a write cache feature, the product would be perfect overall."
"It would be nice to set minimum IOPS per volume, besides just the maximum, to be able to satisfy this demand from customers out-of-the-box, not by calculating number of disks, etc."
"Ecosystem around the product: There is no built-in system for viewing history data, such as volume IOPS. We have to provide graphing by Prometheus and Grafana, which would be a good new feature in ScaleIO."
