We performed a comparison between Hitachi Universal Storage VM [EOL], HPE 3PAR StoreServ, and VMAX [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Hitachi Vantara, IBM, Dell Technologies and others in Frame-Based Disk Arrays."The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"If you design it right and implement it right, it's headache free. Just keep it there and it does what it's suppose to do."
"I have a lot of applications that need higher IOPS, and 3PAR achieves this operation normally without any issues for the management."
"We deployed 3PAR in the national and international markets. It's not bad, the solution."
"It is reliable, and it seems like a solid product. It has been working well so far."
"It was the easiest SAN that I have ever set up."
"The speed is very good."
"The tool is fast and easy to use. You can also configure it easily. The product also has good performance tuning."
"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."
"We have been able to present storage from the VMAX to hosts without any problems."
"A rock solid foundation to deploy applications which cannot incur a disruption of service."
"We have never had a bad experience with it because we never had failures. It has good data availability and the performance is also okay."
"VMAX3 is our main system for storage. All our systems and all our virtualizations are connected to it. In terms of expanding it, we are replacing it with a new system, the PowerMax 2000. So our current VMAX3 platform will be decommissioned soon. We are switching to PowerMax 2000 because we are looking for improved performance. We see it as the best fit for our requirements in terms of the performance and the overall cost."
"The interface is good, and it is also customizable."
"The most valuable features are the interface and performance."
"I like the many new features, especially the all-flash solution."
"Deploying, Expanding, and Modifying systems are easier than ever."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"This solution only provides active-passive replication, as opposed to active-active."
"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."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ could have better integration into the cloud and converged infrastructure."
"We are using a built-in solution in 3PAR. We are using All-Flash Storage, and there are some difficulties with it. HPE has now developed a new tool system to support All-Flash, and that's why we are changing our investment. They must increase its performance. I want unlimited support, which is very important for performance. I am not interested in spinning disks. HPE is developing new storage systems called Primera, but they must be developed more."
"Upgrades on them are a bit tricky. For us to do a head swap on one is a full outer joiner storage frame, which is obviously not that easy to do in a production environment."
"I would like to see more cloud-based integrations and more file storage capabilities."
"Security is a mandatory feature because our customer needs to protect delicate information."
"This product has come to the end of its lifecycle."
"The pricing is a bit expensive. That is the reason we are now currently we are looking for other solutions. That's the reason we are looking at AFF and Unity. We are also considering PowerStore."
"I would like to see support for high-availability."
"I would like this solution to integrate the solution that EMC vPlex offers."
"The cluster support should be improved."
"Resilience replication, reporting, and performance need to be improved."
"Better speed to release new features that have become industry standards. EMC created so many standards in the past. Now, it seems they are playing a me-too game and lagging behind in some areas, specifically data reduction."
"The way you configure larger size volumes needs improvement."
"I'd like to see improvements where we can scale out an existing array and remove older controllers\drives\etc., within the same subsystem."
