Find out in this report how the two NAS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is fast and stable. It is really helping us a lot in terms of data store, etc."
"The predictive analytics, where we're getting notifications prior to a failure has been helpful."
"We have much better performance than we managed earlier and are now saving lots of space."
"In the deployment of virtual servers, I can have a new VM up and running in 15 minutes, run the patches, then done. I routinely fire up base images that I have for my servers: Server 2008 R2, 2012 R2, and 2016. I routinely fire those base images up and do all the updates, then prep them again for cloning. With 3PAR, we definitely have the performance to do that. Those images I do keep on SSD just to have that performance to deploy a new VM."
"The features which are most valuable are the availability of the system and the management."
"The availability of the server has given us increased stability in our environment."
"It is very stable. That is why we bought it."
"Being able to snapshot things for backup purposes has been key. We do that on our databases four times a day."
"I can use both the on-premises and cloud storage options. I need to have an APR extension from StoreEasy, and it's that simple."
"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreEasy is the storing of virtual machines."
"I like the tool's provisioning feature and OneView."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the duplication."
"This solution allows me to better and more easily manage user data without impacting my primary storage."
"I like the user quotas, integrations, and separations for storage."
"HPE could improve by raising awareness when a new product is launched. They must think of ways to better serve and engage with their enterprise customers. HPE is selling enterprise products and mission-critical support."
"Anything new can be complex. There were some things in the initial deployment that I was not happy about. One of my directives was, "However, it's configured, ensure that it can never be overprovisioned." That one key thing was overlooked. This is why I had to have a support call last year, because it actually became overprovisioned and I had to move some stuff around."
"A lot of tasks, you have to manually set up. They need to already have them set up and working. Then, you can just go in and tweak them if you need to."
"Although we experienced malfunctions where a virus was running and it failed."
"It's still an older architecture, you've got a lot of physical spinning disks. I would imagine more the memory-based computing is coming."
"I need flexibility for interoperability across multiple platforms, not just HPE."
"There are issues formulating the upgraded disk."
"They should add AI-enabled dashboards to the solution."
"It would be better if it were more scalable. In the next release, I would like to access some Microsoft Windows storage server features. I guess the newest version of Windows Server has some restrictions."
"I would like to improve the tool's technical support. I would also like to see the product's hybrid cloud version."
"The support of HPE StoreEasy can improve its responsiveness. Dell support is better."
"When I configure the StoreEasy in a complex environment I have problems finding compatibility with all the software."
