We performed a comparison between HPE 3PAR StoreServ and IBM System Storage DS5000 Series based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Modular SAN (Storage Area Network) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The 3PAR tool is cheaper to maintain with more storage available."
"The solution fetches quick responses in milliseconds which can be within 40-50 milliseconds."
"The most valuable features for me are the simple management of the platform and its performance."
"It is a really stable product. We have not had any major issues at the moment."
"The solutions has increased our performance. We went from 24,000 IOPS to around 70,000 IOPS."
"The all-flash positions our organization for growth. If somebody comes to us who needs an application with performance, we have that already formulated."
"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."
"It has improved the ability of the executives to get proper insights."
"The stability is excellent."
"IBM System Storage DS5000 series enhances clients' data handling capabilities through improved security, fast systems, and added value features."
"We use it for applications, databases, media, files, etc."
"The most valuable feature is compression."
"I like that it's stable, and I am satisfied with it. We have had some issues, but that is normal in IT. IBM System Storage DS5000 works fine most of the time."
"I also like all the software features you get from the IBM System Storage DS5000 Series such as the SVC (SAN volume controller). You can put the code on the controllers, and it really gives you the advantage because you'll have HyperSwap."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The solution is stable. I rate its stability a nine out of ten."
"With 3PAR, there is remote copy software which isn't very good."
"It needs the addition of InfoSight, which is the most critical, along with predictive analytics and AI."
"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."
"There is a slight difference between what we expected and what was delivered."
"This solution is now at end-of-life."
"The management interface is not intuitive."
"The price is a little bit high."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ should increase the storage capacity."
"Regarding improvements, there's a common perception, primarily during pre-sales, that IBM storage solutions are expensive, though studies often prove otherwise. As for additional functionality, supporting two to three sites for applications might be a potential enhancement."
"It would be nice if duplication was possible at the hardware level. As it is now, duplication is a software feature, whereas compression is a hardware feature."
"IBM is not always as agile as other competitors when it is about cloud integration and user interfaces. They're not renewing themselves very often. They have been slow to evolve from the old GUI. The user interface should be improved, especially regarding performance analysis, which has always been a little bit weak as compared to other solutions. As a global solution, it lacks the feature for containing integration object storage. Even though they have now started to offer this feature, it is quite young and not as developed as some other vendors. There are also no mass possibilities at all. They have a lot of competition in the mid-range segment. They need to have a NAS gateway or something like that. It doesn't specifically need to be integrated into the controllers that are keys to the gateway."
"The product should improve its support."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"IBM talks about integration when we talk about Safeguarded Copy. It integrates with QRadar, but it seems as though IBM still is too separate, that is, the way IBM is measured on software and hardware."
"The amount of storage could be increased."
"IBM System Storage DS5000 is expensive when compared to other vendors."
