We performed a comparison between Dell EqualLogic PS series and HPE 3PAR StoreServ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Modular SAN (Storage Area Network) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Technical support, when we had access to it, was very good."
"We were attracted by the flexibility of being able to put in a new shelf whenever we needed to, to expand."
"If you have one datacenter fail, the VMs will start to run inside the other data center."
"Dell EqualLogic PS series is a highly stable solution."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Its high availability. It has a lot of redundancy and good management software as well as good alerting."
"The most valuable feature of Dell EqualLogic PS series auto tiering by using this feature, the customer can get higher performance on a valuable budget."
"The solution has been working well overall."
"The technical support is very good."
"The features which are most valuable are the availability of the system and the management."
"We use all the features, but some of the most valuable are the replication, priority optimization, provisioning, and deduplication. There are a lot of good features in this product."
"I have a lot of applications that need higher IOPS, and 3PAR achieves this operation normally without any issues for the management."
"It has helped with more than just serving data, but also with recovery."
"We also use dynamic optimization to go between tiers."
"Tech support is great, and that is for any of their team who has ever worked with us. They are willing and committed to making sure the customer is treated the way we need to be."
"Good performance because it's an all-flash system. Basically, our applications run faster."
"Individual file recovery would be a nice additional feature."
"The solution is out of date and the new version has a lot of advanced features."
"6510 and 6610 have two iSCSI connections in each controller. Why do 6110xxx members have only one, and why do the same members have the possibility of having an active iSCSI interface in the passive controller? It could make a lot of noise with a failover."
"I can't buy any more solutions provided by EqualLogic...Since I can't buy it anymore, I don't receive any updates on the solution. Also, this is the last year in which one can buy support for the solution."
"It is at the end of support and no longer supported. We have to move our VMware to another storage platform, and we have decided to use Dell PowerStore. We like Dell's products, and it is a new platform with a lot of features."
"Dell EqualLogic PS series could improve by providing fiber channel connectivity. Fiber channel connectivity is not supported, which is a requirement of advanced applications, such as SAP HANA. SAP HANA recommends fiber channel connectivity, but the Dell EqualLogic PS series is only an ISCSI data storage."
"The replication efficiency needs to be improved."
"There is no inline deduplication capability."
"Would like to see some management functions through a web interface."
"Upgrades on them are a bit tricky. For us to do a head swap on one is a full outer joiner storage frame, which is obviously not that easy to do in a production environment."
"The onsite techs have caused outages."
"We do not use Memory-Driven Flash in the old 3PAR. Perhaps we will use it in the new 3PAR. That is part of the reason why we are upgrading."
"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 would like to see compatibility with NVMe."
"We are still waiting for the compression feature to be deployed."
"We would like to see the ability to not only be integrated with hybrid IT, but on-prem."
