We performed a comparison between HPE StoreOnce and Zadara 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 helps simplify storage. When you're running Pure all-flash, you don't have to do a lot of the old Oracle best practices. You don't have to worry about putting log files on a different disk channel than the data files, and those types of issues... That has made it vastly easier to do large volumes, rapid provisioning in databases, without taking a performance hit."
"The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are simplicity, ease of use, and dashboard management."
"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 code upgrades are very smooth."
"Very efficient storage"
"The speed is the most valuable feature, along with the ease of getting it connected. We were able to get it online in less than a day."
"The predictive performance analytics are good."
"The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are management and administration user-friendliness, provisioning, and performance."
"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"The hardware is strong and all the equipment has a good infrastructure. Personally, I think it's the best storage product in HPE for small to medium-sized businesses."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression capabilities."
"The processing is much faster with this product."
"It's very easy to expand and compared to other storage systems that we've used, it's a lot more expandable and a lot more flexible in how it's deployed."
"One of the most useful features is that they provide iSCSI as a service."
"A nice feature is the immutable object storage, which can be used in conjunction with Veeam."
"The most valuable features of Zadara are its visibility and simplicity to use."
"The most valuable feature of Zadara is its ease of use and safety. Overall the solution is a complete package, it has all the features needed."
"One of the most valuable features is its integration with other cloud solutions. We have a presence within Amazon EC2 and we leverage compute instances in there. Being able to integrate with compute, both locally within Zadara, as well as with other cloud vendors such as Amazon, is very helpful, while also being able to maintain extremely low latency between those connections."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in terms of deployment options."
"I had to contact customer support when a drive failed as I was doing a couple of OS upgrades."
"In some cases, we get into very in-depth conversations around movement of specific data and, what's more, chunk sizes. The documentation lacked any description or information on that."
"I would like to have an easy way to determine the cost per VM so that I can present a solution to our customers."
"Historical analytics would be useful. At the moment, they don't have any type of application built for historical analytics."
"From a scalability perspective, it is a very small storage solution, so it's not very expandable."
"It is a bit expensive."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see automated copy data management for SQL Server."
"Pure Storage support could be a little better."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"Agnostic backups."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."
"Some of the features are a little bit slow to come to market."
"In the next release, there can be some improvements to the web console by adding more features because the console is simple. Additionally, the calculator could improve."
"The range of support of VMware could be better. It can support Windows, however, it cannot support other operating systems like IBM AIX. This needs to improve."
"I would like to see them be a little bit more proactive in terms of the patches and updates that are available. I would like to see more disclosure and information around what fixes or what enhancements are available within a patch, and help in coordinating and scheduling that. Right now, it's driven more by the customer in reaching out via a support ticket."
"Having iSCSI over the internet using a VPN, the IPSec tunnel is really the only thing that I find missing from this product."
"The management interface is more geared towards end-users rather than a service partner like ourselves, and there are improvements that can be made around that."
"The initial setup of the solution is complex."
"There are still some storage features that they lack. For example, other vendors implemented the auto-tiering feature a long time ago, while Zadara Storage Cloud is just coming out with this feature today. So, they are a little bit late compared to the market."
