"The solution is stable."
"The user interface is good, I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"The flexibility of this solution has been valuable for our business."
"I've found the stability to be very good."
"The setup is straightforward."
"The Dell support is helpful and the response is quick. The agents' knowledge is very good."
"It had many features, like a snapshot, replication, on-the-file RAID levels, mix-and-match files, those kinds of things."
"It is reliable, and it seems like a solid product. It has been working well so far."
"It works well and we don't have any issues with this solution."
"We're hosting virtual infrastructure on the 3PAR storage and it's been very good for that."
"HPE 3PAR has all the common storage features like cell provisioning and deduplication. Usually the solution is chosen by the customer as they have a preference, or the setup is already in their environment."
"Remote-copy provides high availability and disaster recovery for the connected clients."
"The intelligence around the solution is good."
"The technical support is good."
"There's a lot of good features. HPE 3PAR StoreServ is similar to Dell EMC. It is a high-speed system with automatic failover/failback, integrated with Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware. These are the main reason for choosing HPE 3PAR StoreServ in Denmark. We have a very good consulting service together with the product."
"This solution could be improved if overall performance was improved and operated with a higher speed and supported a higher volume of RAM."
"This product should be a lot more user-friendly."
"The price could be improved."
"From a performance point of view, it's getting a bit old."
"What I understand is that this is a 13 year old architecture, so it has lived its life and they're phasing it out. Honestly, we were initially struggling with the integration with VMware (but it was fixed with the VMware 6.5) and, then, it was around a 10GB network. At that time, it had the longevity to go to 100GB as well. It got us thinking about, when we go into the containerized architecture, what do we need to do to fix the infrastructure?"
"In some customer cases, customers experienced more performance or latency."
"While the scalability is good, there are certain limitations."
"The configuration could be easier in Dell EMC SC Series."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"It is suitable for medium-sized businesses and data centers with less number of users and less important data. It is not really an enterprise-level solution. It needs more capacity. It is also not really stable. It should be more stable. It should also support any server model. It is really weak in this area."
"If HPE 3PAR could handle NAS and all things related to NAS, you would not need to have a mixture of different storages, storage boxes, one solution could fit all."
"An area of improvement for this solution is an increase in the bandwidth as well as an upgrade of the storage functionality and capabilities. The storage needs to be expandable for future-proofing."
"Setting up 3PAR is somewhat complicated, and it took about a week."
"I would like to see more storage, a better interface, and to move from mechanical disks."
"This solution only provides active-passive replication, as opposed to active-active."
"This product has come to the end of its lifecycle."
