We performed a comparison between HPE StoreOnce and IBM FlashSystem 9100 NVMe 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."It simplifies storage."
"The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are the management view of the solutions, ease of provision, and deprovision, it is fantastic."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most comfortable pricing, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The mobile app is very helpful."
"One of the features that my customers are really interested in is immutable snapshots. There are immutable snapshots to which your applications can be reverted back if you are hit by some kind of ransomware threat or malicious attack. That's kind of a key deal, and it is one of the selling points I use to point out to my customers the value and the features that Pure Storage brings to the table."
"We are very happy with the data deduplication and compression ratio that we have on the platform."
"We like the speed. It's very low latency. In virtualization, you can mask lots of problems, and even in code you can mask lots of problems, with low latency. It's just pure speed and low latency."
"The deduplication and compression meet all of our system requirements."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."
"The most valuable features for us are the ease of use, the reliability, and the exceptional deduplication that we get across that data that we store on those devices."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"HPE StoreOnce is particularly useful in situations where organizations require a backup solution to store their data. Its deduplication feature is quite impressive, providing a deduplication ratio of around 25 to 26."
"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"Good performance with a user-friendly UI."
"IBM FlashSystem 9100 NVMe is one of the leading storage systems in the world...I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten."
"The high performance and high availability improved our overall processes."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The solution is more available for IOPS warehousing, resolving issues, and reporting than other products."
"The most valuable feature of IBM FlashSystem 9100 NVMe is the snapshot. We use it daily for all of the storage units."
"There are many valuable features of IBM FlashSystem 9100 NVMele I have found to meet my needs. Specifically, the maintenance cycle is a standout feature of this solution. The main component of the IBM FlashSystem 9100 NVMe is the maintenance of the batteries, which have a predetermined and reliable four-year life cycle. This is in stark contrast to other solutions that may use spinning disks, which can fail unexpectedly, causing unwanted downtime and maintenance. Having a predictable maintenance cycle is a significant advantage and has made this solution a preferred choice for me."
"The most valuable features of IBM FlashSystem 9100 NVMe are its steady performance and usefulness in high-traffic environments."
"The credentials on the iSCSI interface are only available to type in with the Chrome browser, and not with the Firefox browser."
"FlashArray's capacity for forecasting should be improved because it needs to be a bit more current. I think it's bundled with the deduplication and other compression factors. We need more user interfaces for forecasting in this software and more interfaces need to be integrated with this array management tool."
"In the next release I would like to see integration into other third-party player providers like Google."
"I would like to see active replication. I know that it's available now but I haven't tried it yet. I hope that it works."
"Having something native in the Pure Storage ecosystem would make it integrated and in one single company, and we wouldn't have to work with multiple organizations."
"I would like the ability to swap out the network adapters into it. So, without taking out the whole controller, I would like to be able to swap adapters. This would make things easier."
"The time-to-market could be better at times, but I think that's true for all vendors of hardware."
"What it needs to do is work a little closer with solutions, like VMware, so it understands the particular workloads that are on it. Today, it does not understand the applications which are running against it."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"HPE StoreOnce Backup to Disk (BTD) is not a good backup solution for NAS devices. It does not have a dual controller, so if one controller fails, the entire system will go down."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."
"The solution's compression feature could be better."
"The ZIO interface could be improved."
"The support could be better."
"In the future, the limitation is upgrading the same storage by adding a shelf to the desk. There is a limitation in the backend connection between the storage and extended shelf."
"Other vendors have included a block and file system. IBM doesn't include a file system. And yet, it's very necessary for all organizations' networks to have file systems. We have other systems for the file system, however, ideally, we would like to have one system with these features."
"The efficacy of the GUI in IBM FlashSystem 9100 NVMe could be enhanced, and it would be beneficial to include a feature that can prevent ransomware attacks."
"Deduplication and compression should be improved."
"The pricing should be more competitive."
