We performed a comparison between HPE 3PAR StoreServ and Huawei OceanStor 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."Technical support is excellent. I've had very good responses from technical support. We had a couple of cases where we needed support. Some of the communications were purely over email and some has been an actual call to the service desk."
"The first set up we had was really straight forward and simple."
"The best feature is consistently lower latency, even when IOPS crank up to over 75K. The product maintains submillisecond response time, which is incredible."
"The tool is simple and easy to use. It has neat features like protection from device removal. Moreover, you can undo the deletes. The solution is easy to work with and not as complicated as CAC"
"Having an intuitive user interface to get things running is great."
"Data deduplication is one feature I found to be the most valuable in the tool...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Their technical support is excellent. It's the best out of any of the vendors we work with."
"As soon as we introduced our first Pure Storage FlashArray, the first benefit was at least twice the performance increase. Our production databases simply ran twice as fast with no other change."
"Resilience and reliability, unmatched. They take good care of us."
"The product stands on its own in heavy enterprise environments."
"You can have SSD drives, fast disk drives, and slower drives, redundancy between drives, and hot-swappable drives on the SSDs, the faster hard drives, and the slower drives."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ is easy to use and has good performance."
"The most valuable features for me are the simple management of the platform and its performance."
"It allows us to cohost as needed. We are able to put more systems on one data storage system and it is still able to deliver the availability and speed that we need it to deliver."
"The technical support has been fantastic."
"Remote-copy provides high availability and disaster recovery for the connected clients."
"The performance and ease of management are the most valuable features."
"The support is excellent."
"Huawei OceanStor is stable."
"The solution has improved our organization by speeding up our operations."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in the rail, as it is hybrid storage."
"OceanStor is cheaper than Dell EMC, and its management interface is quite simple."
"Huawei OceanStor is easy to manage."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
"A minor issue that comes to mind is that, every once in a while, a hard drive will go bad."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve some aspects. There are certain features that are good and there are some features that I see some issues with at the technical level. Those issues are related to replication. They need to resolve those issues, which I have already highlighted to the Pure team. Additionally, there are some issues in the active cluster that could improve."
"I recognize it's a difficult challenge, but I would like to see them make the pricing more reasonable."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see automated copy data management for SQL Server."
"Data reduction is an area that needs improvement. There is a garbage collection service that runs but during that time, system utilization increases."
"The price could be better."
"We would like more extended historical data to help with some of the capacity planning. This is something that we are asking for all the time. E.g., what was the historical performance of this particular volume? So, we would like more historicals."
"It's too early to tell if we've seen a reduction in total cost of ownership. The solution is expensive."
"The availability of technical resources within HPE is becoming a challenge due to availability."
"I would like to see the ability to be able to migrate to newer versions of the 3PAR without having to take any of our data offline and be able to upgrade on the fly."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ is at its end of life and they are forcing us to purchase new hardware. They will no longer support this solution. They should provide support for a longer time. For example, 10 years instead of five years."
"3PAR did not increase our performance, and it has increased our latency by at least double."
"We have had some bad issues on stability."
"Generally, the management of the multiple systems that we have is really the only problem, always having to go to all these separate tools to manage everything."
"We are waiting for compression."
"The hard part with the initial setup was that we were on EMC VNX and trying to get those converted over into the HPE 3PAR, that process took awhile, along with scheduling downtime to get some of the physical stuff migrated over to the new device."
"The management is not a good feature in all of Huawei products. It's not easy or simple. Huawei has some problems with management and handling storage information from one interface."
"The duration of the built-in snapshot technology must be improved."
"The security could be a bit more robust."
"I would like to see more iterations and direct integration with other solutions."
"The speed has room for improvement."
"The user interface is not so user friendly."
"The solution needs to improve the compression side of the application."
"In the future release, Huawei OceanStor should improve on what they already have. It is a good solution."
