We performed a comparison between HPE StoreOnce and NetApp NVMe AFF A800 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's very fast and very easy to use. It performs well and is both flexible and compatible. We like it because it's easy to use."
"FlashArray has many valuable features. It's very user-friendly and it has high availability, so there is comparatively less downtime. During maintenance, there is no shutdown procedure, so you can directly power off the Array and manage the shutdown process without any data loss, which is a unique feature. Managing replication and data migration is also very easy."
"Pure is simple to set up and manage on a day-to-day basis."
"NVMe data storage platform that's easy to set up and easy to use. It's stable, with a lower response time, and quick technical support."
"Non-disruptive upgrades: You can upgrade at anytime without worry."
"It is pretty much just plug and play. There is not that much to do with it. It is very easy to use."
"It helps to simplify storage. For most of our customers, when they move to Pure Storage, storage becomes an afterthought."
"All updates, upgrades, and hardware work are all performed on-line with no impact."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."
"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"I like the tool’s deduplication feature. We get a ratio of 9:1 for deduplication. The product is also Linux based. Last year, our organization faced some virus attacks. However, the backup was safe because of the product being a Linux version. HPE StoreOnce is a secure product."
"Over the eight years, we've been using NetApp with ONTAP, we've never lost a bit of data, and we've only experienced a few minutes of downtime in that entire time."
"The most valuable features are stability and performance."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a product that is fast and provides a fast I/O."
"NetApp NVMe AFF A800 is easier to use than some other solutions and the UI is very good to use for day-to-day activities. Overall, the solution has good technology."
"During the use cases of the solution, its reliability and suitability are the best."
"Low latency is the most valuable feature."
"The product can be scaled vertically as well as horizontally."
"We find the product to be very flexible."
"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"Going forward, don't complicate things for the customers."
"It would be nice to have a better view of the allocated capacity on their Platform as a Service solution because we have to do some manual calculations to understand how much we are going to pay every month to use the storage that is allocated."
"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."
"There are a lot of things to improve."
"The scalability of the solution is not as good as it probably could be."
"We haven't seen ROI yet."
"Pricing could be better in comparison to other solutions."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"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."
"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 product's price could be better."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"The setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"Stability is an area with a certain shortcoming where the solution needs to improve"
"The product’s UI could be better."
"Sometimes, it takes a while to get somebody competent on the other end of the line. They do have engineers in multiple time zones around the world. However, their level-one support is not always the best."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Increasing the RAM, and including physical cords would be beneficial."
"The cost of the solution is quite high. It would be ideal if they could adjust it so that it's a but less."
"The product's performance has some shortcomings, making it an area that could be a little better."
"The initial setup should be easier, and more like a plug-and-play approach."
