Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."It is pretty much just plug and play. There is not that much to do with it. It is very easy to use."
"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."
"It helps us maintain uptime much better than other solutions we've used in the past, and the support is extremely quick and responsive."
"The stability and performance are the best things about the solution."
"The scalability options are very nice because you can scale it much better and faster. The scalability was there in the previous environment also, but this is far better than what we had before. It basically helps the user in case they are looking for more storage. We can scale it much faster."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. You simply plug it in and turn it on."
"This solution is very scalable."
"All our junior partners can administer the storage arrays. It is simple and easy to use. We don't have to dedicate a whole team of full time people to work on it."
"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."
"This solution has allowed for massive performance acceleration of all workloads and massively increased availability (with peer persistence/transparent failover feature)."
"It's a very popular product for enterprise storage."
"It has helped with more than just serving data, but also with recovery."
"The most valuable feature of HPE 3PAR StoreServ is its storage capabilities."
"I found it easy to deploy and simple to configure the storage."
"It is fast and stable. It is really helping us a lot in terms of data store, etc."
"I think the storage is very good, the way it stores, the thin provisioning it provides, and the data protection. And it's easy to deploy in any environment. We are using VMware. So for me, it's a right click and it's deployed. We can configure and create LUNS very easily with 3PAR management, and the interface is very user-friendly. Easily understandable."
"We find the pricing is reasonable."
"The reporting is very good compared to other tools."
"I think the solution is very intuitive, effective, and easy to use."
"I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The solution has a very easy-to-navigate user interface."
"The solution uses minimal resources."
"The most valuable features of Veritas NetBackup Appliance are the ease of use and the familiar interface."
"The initial setup was a little complex. We had some initial issues with the design and had to help correct some of the white papers for it, but it wasn't your standard use case."
"As long as they always improve on IOPS speed, that's all we're really looking for. The faster the storage can be the more we can do speed of application and speed of use."
"They should work on their upgrades, they're not smooth."
"We did have one hiccup with the integration of vCenter. When we were installing Pure Storage, we were using vCenter 6.7, which defaults to the HTML5 Web Client. The current plugin for Pure Storage doesn't show up in that client at all. You have to go and use the legacy FlexFlash client to see the Pure Storage plugin in vCenter."
"It's not so scalable. It's got moderate scaling capabilities right now. The clustering technology needs a bit of work, they need to improve that."
"Had some issues with Purity not being entirely compatible with VMware ESXi."
"I want to learn more about command line usage which I have not explored much yet. However, there are many automated solutions for repetitive tasks. I would like to see additional features like performance monitoring, configuring of alerts, and the customization of alert thresholds in the next release."
"As partners, we should have the option to download the software, rather than have to go back through Pure to obtain it."
"Sometimes the required upgrades have been a little bit involved: "You have to do this before you do this," and I want them to explain to me why. It's more work than it should be."
"The product is quite expensive."
"Sadly, the support from HPE has not been all that great. It is tough to get a tech out or get a response from some of the techs that we have."
"HPE could improve by making an old flash system in order to compete with the current market. For the solution to be more competitive in the mid-range market they could increase the performance."
"Here in Algeria, we are facing a lot of trouble finding partners and getting support from HPE. There should be better support here in our country."
"Would like to see some management functions through a web interface."
"We would like to see the ability to not only be integrated with hybrid IT, but on-prem."
"The price of this solution should be lower."
"The product should provide more AI and ML features."
"The technical support services could be better."
"It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system."
"The product must improve its recovery features."
"The desirability of appliance solutions is dwindling in the marketplace."
"With technical support, it feels like they aren't well trained and it takes forever to get answers out of them."
"It's an expensive solution."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve by having a site recovery feature."
