The solution’s maintenance is almost negligible.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Overall, I would rate HPE StorageWorks MSA as a ten out of ten.

One engineer is enough for the deployment and maintenance of HPE StorageWorks MSA.

HPE StorageWorks MSA is the best and most cost-effective solution for SMB customers. However, it is not recommended for enterprise customers.

Overall, I rate HPE StorageWorks MSA ten out of ten.

I will definitely recommend the solution. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

It's a great product for the price. It has a lot of capability for what you're paying for.

Basically I would say the same things I said earlier. I would tell him that the products are very easy to use, and there's a lot of online assistance if needed. That's where I always go if I need help, to HP's website for assistance, and if I still really can't figure it out, the customer service is excellent, so that's basically what I would tell them.

Do your own research first on how to configure it and know what you're trying to get out of the equipment prior to trying to install it.

I rate HPE StorageWorks MSA five out of 10. 

It's a good platform for outside the data center. Even inside the data center for certain purposes, so I would rate them high and give them my approval.

So far, our experience with this product has been great. We've had a small number of issues such as a hard disk failure, but that is manageable with RAID so it has not been a problem. This is a product that I recommend for others.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

The solution is a capable product that does what it is supposed to do. 

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

I would rate the solution ten out of ten. It's a very good, simple entry-level storage system that allows for the separation of operations. We've been only using basic aspects of the solution, and only for CCTV, however, it has provided us with everything we've need and we are quite satisfied with its performance.

This is a good product and everything I needed it to do, it did and still does.

My advice for anybody who is implementing the MSA is to hire somebody to deploy it if you don't have the staff.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

Look at reliability primarily. Pricing is also important.

Experience with the interface is very important. Make sure that technical support is available and good. Again, it's about performance and cost and it does a rock solid job for us.

This is an entry-level storage system and I would recommend it to others.

I rate HPE StorageWorks MSA an eight out of ten.

I would rate HPE StorageWorks MSA eight over 10 because just for our use it is okay.

As far as setup and stuff like that, it's very easy to set up. You've got the different RAID levels that you need to use. I'm sure the other products have that too, so it comes down to what feels right for you.

HPE OneView is a better solution for managing and monitoring MSA. You can't add MSA Storage to OneView. We can add OneView, but we can't add MSA Storage to OneView for monitoring and management.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give HPE StorageWorks MSA a rating of eight. If they improved the central management and lowed the price, I would give it a higher rating.
