We performed a comparison between Dell XtremIO and HPE 3PAR StoreServ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The amount of throughput that we're getting is really nice."
"My rating of Pure Storage is a ten out of ten because of the price for performance and footprint - the overall value."
"The top-tier support and reliable storage are the most valuable features of this solution."
"This solution has improved our organization. In the past, we had reports that were taking up to two hours and after switching to SSD storage the overall processing power dropped to half an hour. The end users saw an immediate performance gain."
"We also like the compactness, the small footprint. It takes up very little space in a data center and uses little power."
"I like FlashArray's ActiveCluster as well as its snapshot and cloning capabilities."
"They are quite responsive and our local team was pretty good."
"The stability is very good. I've done destructive testing on it and never had any type of storage outages from it."
"Deduplication and cloning capability"
"The most valuable features are: complete performance and ease of use."
"The performance is good, which is important."
"It has very good performance for an application which needs lower latency and a better response, for example, in microseconds."
"XtremIO’s capability to run any workload without much in the way of design considerations makes this very easy to use and size."
"Dell XtremIO is good for databases and huge workloads."
"The most valuable features are that it is fast and reliable."
"Xtrem10's features are more simple to implement. The integration and interface are also good."
"The compression features are good."
"With the new flash arrays, 3PAR has improved our performance."
"It is easy to scale, easy to manage, and easy to configure."
"Being able to provision drives on demand, as opposed to populating a whole stack of drives and not using them. In the latter scenario, you are locking your money in, you don't get a return on investment. On the fly, you can build up your storage as needed, so that's a very good feature."
"The technical support is very good."
"I am a system integrator, so we sell a lot of 3PAR storage to our customers. Our business has increased compared to previous days."
"The solution is quite stable and scalable."
"It runs. I don't have a problem with it. If it needs an update, I can do it in the middle of the day with nobody being the wiser. It is phenomenal in that respect. As a hospital, I get two hours every quarter to reboot things, so it is imperative that nothing goes down."
"The scalability of the solution is not as good as it probably could be."
"A year ago they promised that they would be able to read through the database encryption with more metric and they have not delivered on that patch, which is significant because it gives us back so much more storage room. We want to be able to read through the encryption."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve the recent file storage capabilities because it is lacking a lot of features."
"If they could make it cheaper, that would be something."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"As long as they always improve on IOPS speed, that's all we're really looking for. The faster the storage can be the more we can do speed of application and speed of use."
"Self-backup is the only feature lacking in this solution."
"XtremIO is coming to its end of life."
"This solution is geared toward enterprise-level companies. Small and medium-sized businesses would find it extremely expensive."
"I would like hardware capacity additions to be a little more flexible. The upgrade path for the existing XTremIO units requires you to purchase 2 XBricks at a time and they need to be the same capacity as the existing XBricks."
"XtremIO needs to be lower priced. It also needs better endpoints and scalability."
"We've encountered challenges in integrating other products with Dell Xtremio, as it tends to be more vendor-locked. This means we can't easily explore other solutions that might work alongside Dell."
"One thing that should be improved is the reporting and monitoring tools. It should use real time monitoring for storage, IOPS, latency, etc."
"Management and reporting need improvement."
"I would like to see more scalability."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ could have better integration into the cloud and converged infrastructure."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ's pricing could be cheaper."
"It needs the addition of InfoSight, which is the most critical, along with predictive analytics and AI."
"There were a few goofy things with support where we were trying to do OS upgrades and HPE MyRoom failed. However, they would not get on WebEx because they are only allowed to get on HPE MyRoom."
"It's still an older architecture, you've got a lot of physical spinning disks. I would imagine more the memory-based computing is coming."
"While the stability is pretty good, it could always be improved upon."
"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."
"They should add AI-enabled dashboards to the solution."
