HPE 3PAR StoreServ Reviews

I am a solution architect, solution designer. Depending on the customer requirements and type of setup, some use the latest versions while others use previous versions.

The solution is used in production environments and cloning environments. We have cloned it multiple times to get better optimization of the storage usage in terms of deduplication.

HPE 3PAR has all the common storage features like cell provisioning and deduplication. Usually the solution is chosen by the customer as they have a preference, or the setup is already in their environment.

If HPE 3PAR could handle NAS and all things related to NAS, you would not need to have a mixture of different storages, storage boxes, one solution could fit all. 

I have been working with HPE 3PAR StoreServ for 7 years.

HPE 3PAR StoreServ is a stable product.

This solution is scalable.

I have compared HPE 3PAR with NetApp, they have a monopoly over the NAS and can handle NAS very well. 

I would rate HPE 3PAR StoreServ an 8 out of 10  as a solution.

HPE 3PAR StoreServ is used as a flash storage system.

HPE 3PAR StoreServ is easy to use and has good performance.

The solution could improve by being more secure.

I have been using HPE 3PAR StoreServ for approximately six years.

I have not contacted the support from HPE.

The installation is straightforward.

We have a technical team of approximately 20 engineers and administrators that supports HPE 3PAR StoreServ. 

I recommend this solution to others.

I rate HPE 3PAR StoreServ a nine out of ten.

We use HPE 3PAR StoreServ for many purposes, such as our database files.

The solution has been good since it was installed, we have not had many problems. We are trying to upgrade the solution to a more current improved solution because it is at its end of life.

The solution could improve by being able to handle larger data.

I have been using HPE 3PAR StoreServ for a few months. The company has been using the solution for approximately five years. The version we are using is at its end of life, it is a traditional server setup in our environment.

HPE 3PAR StoreServ has been stable.

We're being supported locally, but when we have issues with and we have contacted the HPE support, their support is good, it is quick.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate HPE 3PAR StoreServ an eight out of ten.

It's a very convenient product. I find it easy to use.

It's very flexible in terms of management.

It's an enterprise tool.

The integration is good. We've integrated it with other UNIX platforms and Windows platforms.

The solution is easy to install.

The pricing is okay.

I'm not sure how good the security is. 

While the stability is pretty good, it could always be improved upon. 

I've been using the solution for almost four years at this point. I've used it for a while. 

The solution has been very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

The solution is scalable and a company can expand it if they want to. 

We only have 100 people that actually use the solution. 

The support on offer is very good. We don't have any issues with them. They are helpful and responsive and we are satisfied with the support we get when we need it. 

We did use Hitachi last year.

The initial setup is not overly difficult or complex. it's pretty simple and straightforward. 

The deployment is fast and within a day you can have everything up and running. 

We have engineers available that can assist with deployment and maintenance. 

We had support from HPE directly. They assisted us in the implementation. 

We're using it as a SaaS. The pricing is reasonable. It's not cheap, however, I don't consider it to be overpriced. 

We have an annual support contract. It will contain a certain percentage of the storage cost.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I've been pretty happy with its capabilities. 

I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations. 

We don't have plans to leave this solution any time soon. We'll likely have it for the next two to three years. 

We use the solution for database backups.

I have been using HPE 3PAR StoreServ for more than four years.

The solution is stable.

HPE 3PAR StoreServ is scalable.

We have approximately 15 customers using this solution.

The technical support is very good but it is expensive.

I have used IBM FlashSystems.

We used three engineers from HPE to do the implementation and it took two days.

The price of the solution could be reduced for the license and for support.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate HPE 3PAR StoreServ a nine out of ten.

This is an amazing solution, it's been very good for all our projects. 

We use the old disk and we can't make a VMO in HPE 3PAR without getting an upgrade. We activated a new disk but it failed, it's hard to manipulate and format it. The disk might be okay but when we put it in the storage array, it failed.

I've been using this solution for seven years. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is an older solution so if you're replacing, buy the new products like Primera and Nimble.

I rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

We use it on a project basis and based on the customer's requirements. We use the HPE systems in data centers with servers and virtual environments. This is the most common use case.

I like that it's stable. This is the reason why we're using these products. We work in the broadcast market, and stability is very important. HPE has global services, and that's also important. Dell and HPE are some big companies, and their solutions are robust and stable.

From an overall perspective, all the latest technologies can improve support and performance. This is very important for us.

As a company, we have been selling HPE 3PAR StoreServ for more than 24 years. Personally, I've been dealing with it for more than 18 years.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give HPE 3PAR StoreServ a nine.

We use it mostly for databases and file share. 

I like that 3PAR can remake the disk online. That's one of the best features because when we first started, that was the best. The team provisioning feature was also a good one. Those features are the best for me, provisioning and online optimization, and the tier you can have for storage.

Cloud integration could be better. They can also add an NVMe to port to that. I would like to see NVMe in the next release. That's the future or the near future for storage. That will give us a real high throughput and some performance.

I have been working with HPE 3PAR StoreServ for about ten years or since the beginning when the product was in the market.

It's quite stable. The only problem that I have found with this product is when you are missing storage space. When you lack storage space, and the disk is full is when you have most of the problems with this product. But if you don't have these issues, you'll almost never have a problem with it.

Scalability could be better. I think it's getting short right now, and another product has more scalability. This product, I think, is medium if that's acceptable. I don't know how to measure it.

I think it's excellent. I actually think they are very good.

The initial setup is easy. It takes between two to four hours to upload the functions.

It's a good price.

If you want to run this solution, I would say that this product is mostly dying from my point of view. If you're my customer, I would recommend not to buy a 3PAR because there are a lot of new products. I would recommend Nimble, depending on the size, or a Primera if they need a really big solution. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give HPE 3PAR StoreServ a seven.
