We performed a comparison between Dell XtremIO and HPE StoreOnce 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."We put a fair amount of stress on it because we run sequel workloads and we run web applications where the same web files are hit over and over. We have had almost zero stability issues with that SAN, that has been really great for us."
"The GUI is very easy to use and intuitive."
"The data reduction technology part of the scalability has been impressive, like its ability to host additional workloads, volumes of data, and databases."
"The sales and executive support have been outstanding compared to the rest of the market... My upgrade paths have been simple on the Pure... It's a lot simpler to implement and a lot simpler to manage."
"The management is simple in Pure Storage FlashArray."
"The solution is easy to scale. I'm running two environments right now, so I need to scale. I'm running a part technology. I've got an A-side and a B-side."
"The deduplication and compression rates are beyond impressive."
"It simplifies building out the storage."
"I like the deduplication and auto-tiering features."
"The solution's most valuable features are the inline data reduction and deduplication."
"Deduplication and cloning capability"
"Xtrem10's features are more simple to implement. The integration and interface are also good."
"It is great for applications like Microsoft Exchange, ERP, SQL and VDI; basically saved the VDI buy-in from users, as now performance was seamless in comparison to a physical PC."
"XtremIO’s capability to run any workload without much in the way of design considerations makes this very easy to use and size."
"The program is very stable."
"A valuable feature of XtremIO is that, in terms of administration, it's simple and manageable."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"HPE StoreOnce is particularly useful in situations where organizations require a backup solution to store their data. Its deduplication feature is quite impressive, providing a deduplication ratio of around 25 to 26."
"The initial setup is one of the most user-friendly B2B user solutions. It's good, it's easy. Deployment usually takes less than one day. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"It is very easy to implement."
"The solution saves a lot of storage capacity."
"We would like to see more cloud support, which we know is coming, although it's not out yet. It's going to be released in the next versions. That would be the biggest win, if additional cloud support is built into the array."
"CIFS and SMB Shares cannot be mounted directly."
"A minor issue that comes to mind is that, every once in a while, a hard drive will go bad."
"Going forward, don't complicate things for the customers."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve by being more secure."
"I’d love to view the average, minimum and maximum performance in the reports (Analysis tab - Performance) but it is only graphics and you need to export data in CSV to find this information."
"I would like to see support for NVMe, end-to-end."
"Dell's technical support could be better."
"One thing that should be improved is the reporting and monitoring tools. It should use real time monitoring for storage, IOPS, latency, etc."
"It is very expensive to scale. You have to buy an additional system to extend from one disc, for instance. It is scalable, but extremely expensive to do so."
"The management should be improved and the GUI interface could be better and easier."
"The product could be improved by reducing the pricing and having better organization in their technical support team."
"Ease of use is key in the converged and hyper-converged world that requires administrators to have both hypervisor and storage skills."
"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."
"I believe having more replication options comparatively to VMAX (other than RecoverPoint) would be great."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"Agnostic backups."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"The latency is a bit high."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"The setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational."
"The product's price could be better."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
