Find out in this report how the two NAS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Hitachi NAS Platform is very stable."
"The product’s technical support services are good."
"The pricing of this solution is good, which is an advantage that positions this product well."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to handle a high number of users while maintaining both stability and performance."
"Hitachi is reliable with high availability and solid performance. It performs well regardless of the workload."
"Simple and extremely reliable."
"The product has valuable features for data migration."
"The solution has increased our performance by about 40 percent."
"HPE can login, fix things, alert us to things, and upgrade. We are there and aware, but we do not do the work. So, that is good."
"It is fast and stable. It is really helping us a lot in terms of data store, etc."
"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."
"The scalability is good because it is easy to add in new disks. We just add them on the fly, and they are available for use."
"Being able to snapshot things for backup purposes has been key. We do that on our databases four times a day."
"The product has definitely improved throughput. We are able to more efficiently see patients because all of our medical records and practice management software seems to run faster. Uploading images and charts is a lot faster. Recalling information in the exam rooms is faster. The overall throughput of data, going back and forth, is so we can more efficiently see patients, and it also helps increase our patient flow. We can see patients a lot faster, getting them in and out a lot more quickly."
"We're hosting virtual infrastructure on the 3PAR storage and it's been very good for that."
"I do not like Hitachi NAS because it's an old-school NAS solution, compared to the other, newer-type solutions such as Isilon from Dell or Qumulo."
"The monitoring tool is not well developed."
"I encounter challenges while installing the upgrades for the product."
"Hitachi could be more flexible and have a simpler management interface."
"I would like to see the inclusion of support for cloud-connectivity to providers like AWS."
"Hitachi NAS Platform is expensive."
"Hitachi NAS Platform's pricing could be reduced. It is high compared to other competitors."
"I'd really it to be able to interact with older 3PAR storage, and possibly even non-HPE. I would like to be able to pull stuff off of old things and bring it up to the standard that has been set, simply, quickly, and efficiently. That would be a really nice feature. Right now it is a big pain. It seems to work but we tend to get some latency behind."
"We've started to see an issue with the older models that we have. We've had issues where facilities would have unscheduled power outages or scheduled power outages and the 3PARs weren't able to come up successfully. We actually had an incident recently where it wiped data that we didn't anticipate would be wiped."
"We are still waiting for the compression feature to be deployed."
"The GUI was a little hard to figure out how to use."
"It needs the addition of InfoSight, which is the most critical, along with predictive analytics and AI."
"Anything new can be complex. There were some things in the initial deployment that I was not happy about. One of my directives was, "However, it's configured, ensure that it can never be overprovisioned." That one key thing was overlooked. This is why I had to have a support call last year, because it actually became overprovisioned and I had to move some stuff around."
"The cloud-based monitoring Infosight would be better if users are automatically enrolled in the cloud/group based on the configuration or information gathered or uploaded on the internet."
"We would also like to see improvements to the ease of administration of 3PAR."
