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."The technical support for EqualLogic has been universally outstanding."
"Dell EqualLogic PS series is a highly stable solution."
"You can always trust it. It is stable."
"Its high availability. It has a lot of redundancy and good management software as well as good alerting."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution has been working well overall."
"Technical support, when we had access to it, was very good."
"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."
"If there is a problem then the HPE facility will detect it and immediately contact me."
"Multi-tier storage was the primary reason that we bought it. I also love the interface that you use for administering it."
"We can quickly see performance per CPG and per LUN. You can drill right down to see actual performance to the virtual volumes themselves. That's really good."
"The Call Home feature is really a great feature, so I do not need to monitor the 3PAR. The 3PAR team is monitoring it and letting me know if there are any problems."
"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."
"It is easy to set up, easy to use, and user-friendly. It is easier to work with HPE 3PAR than with Hitachi. Its technical support is also good."
"The ease of management is its most valuable feature. It is so much easier to manage storage on a 3PAR array than anything that we have had before."
"The availability of the server has given us increased stability in our environment."
"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."
"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 only challenging part in the tool was related to some site recovery area. In order to exploit the site recovery area, my company had to purchase additional VMware products."
"Why is it not possible for both controllers to be simultaneously active (load balancing)?"
"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."
"Synchronous replication uses space inefficiently."
"The performance isn't as good as, for example, Nimble."
"I think cloud integration would probably be the biggest part, because that's where everyone is going and the seamless integration between on-premise and cloud is an important part of any IT strategy today."
"This product has come to the end of its lifecycle."
"Its price is a bit high for adding another tree."
"I would like to have single click upgrades because the process is cumbersome right now."
"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."
"There is a slight difference between what we expected and what was delivered."
"I'd really it to be able to interact with older 3PAR storage, and possibly even non-HPE. I would like to be able to pull stuff off of old things and bring it up to the standard that has been set, simply, quickly, and efficiently. That would be a really nice feature. Right now it is a big pain. It seems to work but we tend to get some latency behind."
"We would like to see a bigger integration with the Nimble Storage solution, so we can take our smaller regional companies and be able to send them into our bigger data centers and have everything work seamlessly."
