Find out in this report how the two NAS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I can use both the on-premises and cloud storage options. I need to have an APR extension from StoreEasy, and it's that simple."
"This solution allows me to better and more easily manage user data without impacting my primary storage."
"I like the tool's provisioning feature and OneView."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the duplication."
"I like the user quotas, integrations, and separations for storage."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreEasy is the storing of virtual machines."
"The file sharing feature is most valuable."
"I like the unified management feature because sometimes you end up running a single protocol on the entire system."
"Good for NAS and unified solutions."
"The tool's most valuable features are ease of use, ease of access, expandability, availability, and performance. NVMe drives have improved their performance."
"It is very easy to expand disks and manage CIFS."
"Ability to use mirroring and SnapVault have made backup no longer necessary."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It's a stable product. No issues there."
"When I configure the StoreEasy in a complex environment I have problems finding compatibility with all the software."
"The support of HPE StoreEasy can improve its responsiveness. Dell support is better."
"It would be better if it were more scalable. In the next release, I would like to access some Microsoft Windows storage server features. I guess the newest version of Windows Server has some restrictions."
"We need some monitoring tools and it would be helpful if they were included."
"I would like to improve the tool's technical support. I would also like to see the product's hybrid cloud version."
"The cluster service is not available in the latest version of HPE StoreEasy."
"The solution's configuration is not flexible."
"NetApp is costly when compared to Dell."
"The one aspect of the solution that's negative for us is also more unique to us due to the fact that we did a MetroCluster. The tiebreaker piece that does the monitoring of the two different locations, and determines if one is not talking to the network normally (or if it's truly down) is a little difficult. It feels like it was not designed from the beginning to fit well into the other pieces. It feels like it was thrown in at the last minute and it is not smooth."
"The solution could do more than just data."
"NetApp systems are somewhat more complex, though not excessively so. If you're transitioning from a Windows server environment to NetApp, get training or education; otherwise, you might struggle with this solution."
"The AutoSupport could be improved to be more proactive in certain cases."
"We no longer have OEM support in South Africa which is not helpful, it can be difficult. They should add an office back to the country because it was better."
"It lacks automatic tiering, When you use data, some of it goes cold. It is not hot data, so the system should automatically move that data to the SATA, while the hot data is kept on tier-one, the SaaS or SSD drives."
