We performed a comparison between HPE StoreOnce and HPE 3PAR StoreServ based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Based on the parameters we compared, HPE 3PAR StoreServ came out ahead of HPE StoreOnce. Even though both products have similar deployment difficulties, price range, and support quality, HPE StoreOnce has fewer valuable features than HPE 3PAR StoreServ.
"The most valuable features of Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its superior performance compared to other flash tiers, as well as its ease of use, with an intuitive user interface that is simple to deploy and use."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"The latency is good."
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"The standout features for us in Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its robust DDoS protection, seamless transparent failover, and failback capabilities ensuring high availability."
"If you can handle the IOPS, throughput is a natural byproduct. Usually, IOPS is where you are capped. HPE has done a great job in making sure that our IOP-intensive EMRs stay up and running. We have really good performance on them."
"It has a really powerful tool to measure data, how it is working, the performance, and if we have any bottlenecks."
"The solutions has increased our performance. We went from 24,000 IOPS to around 70,000 IOPS."
"Whatever failures you have, there is no single point of failure. So, any failure, you get an alert, you have time, you plan the fix, the replacement, and so on. So your operations are intact."
"The Remote Copy Group is amazing for the replication stuff."
"The deduplication functionality is great. We have seen a lot of benefits in the deduplication ratio. So, it has proven that it is a good cost savings."
"The solution, stability, and the performance work well for us."
"We're able to move things around with more agility. I can take it off one server and slap it on another in a couple of minutes... And the speed is outstanding."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."
"The initial setup process is simple."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"The initial setup is simple."
"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."
"The initial setup is one of the most user-friendly B2B user solutions. It's good, it's easy. Deployment usually takes less than one day. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance."
"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."
"It is very easy to implement."
"Every time I think of something that needs to improve, they're one step ahead, which I love. The only area I wish to see improve, I believe is coming, is in the FlashBlade product. Blade implementation fell short on a few of the services."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"It is on the expensive side."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"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."
"The tool needs improvement in the utilization report at the granular level."
"I want artificial intelligence. I don't want anybody from my team to touch it anymore. I want the AI to do everything."
"The management console could use some work. All the functionality is there, of course, but it can be hard to find some features or do certain tasks."
"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."
"From an overall perspective, all the latest technologies can improve support and performance. This is very important for us."
"I would like to see an automatic re-balancing system or functionality for adaptive optimization."
"Would like to see some management functions through a web interface."
"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"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."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity."
"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."
"Some high-level cybersecurity features could be achieved with some entities, and their integration could be built into the store."
"We archive our backups on tape, so I feel like if we could somehow plug our tape drive directly into the StoreOnce device and set it up to where it would archive based on, if some kind of rules based engine or what have you, that would really be an improvement for us."
