We performed a comparison between HPE StoreOnce and Lenovo ThinkSystem DE Series 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."The solution has probably reduced my power use substantially."
"We have seen savings in our storage. The speed of deployment has gone from several days to a few minutes. This product has reduced that time into minutes, simplifying storage for us."
"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."
"It's extremely stable and has good performance."
"The most valuable feature is replication."
"Because of the encryption, we have different storage and the encryption can go over both."
"It is noticeably easier to manage than other appliances that we have."
"Redundancy and the fault tolerance of the platform are the most impressive."
"The scalability is very good."
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."
"The deduplication feature in this product is amazing."
"Technical support is quite good."
"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"Lenovo ThinkSystem DE Series is simple to use"
"This solution is good for virtualization and meets the need for CPU and RAM requirements."
"ThinkSystem's storage performs well, and the price per gigabyte is good, especially on SSD solutions. It's also easy to use."
"Fewer features is not necessarily a negative as it leads to simpler operation and lower price."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"Its initial setup process is easy."
"We have been working with the solution for around a year and so far it has shown itself to be stable."
"The primary drawback is the cost, which can be prohibitive for small configurations."
"Its price could be cheaper. It is not the cheapest one out there, but I'm not directly involved in the figures and negotiations."
"The problem is that we can only make a few groups, around five or six groups. I like groups and we need a lot of them. We had to put all the information in only a few groups and cannot make a more detailed separation of them."
"I would like to see them lower the costs."
"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."
"A three wave application or multi wave application synchronization would be an improvement."
"The credentials on the iSCSI interface are only available to type in with the Chrome browser, and not with the Firefox browser."
"I would like some form of QoS implemented. As a service provider, it would be beneficial to have it."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed."
"The solution should continue to refine its integration capabilities. I also see they are starting to use cloud integration as well, which is good, but they should do more to integrate with it."
"The appliance doesn't have the global deduplication, it has StoreOnce deduplication. It does not deduplicate across the appliance, it will deduplicate in one particular store. With the global deduplication, I could store more data."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"In terms of areas for improvement, I believe HPE StoreOnce could learn from competitors like Dell's Data Domain and ExtraHop in refining its architecture."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."
"One item I wanted to see is SSD drives as a cache, and that was, for a time, still lacking in StoreOnce, however, they have done it now. It's not available yet, however, it will be shortly."
"The solution could be more scalable, although it suits our present needs."
"ThinkSystem could be better integrated with backup software like Commvault, Veritas, or Symantec."
"Its performance could be faster."
"There could be a snapshot feature in the solution."
"The difficult part comes when dealing with the host. You have to enable multi-pathing and other aspects that are needed for proper configuration. I don't know if there is room for a more hyper-conversion structure to work with, but this would be easier."
"Improvements can be made to the product's performance."
"It would be useful to have structured solutions replicated to other sites."
"Usually, when a part fails, we have to replace it and it takes a while. It would be better if the part could be available locally here in Kenya so we don't have to wait so long to repair the solution."
