We performed a comparison between HPE 3PAR StoreServ and Veritas NetBackup Appliance based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."We're able to get higher-density workloads on the same infrastructure, and we have a smaller physical footprint. The performance is excellent – during our test the bottlenecks are never on the X array, it just keeps picking up the pace to match what you need. The real-time visibility is a differentiator in my opinion."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"The latency is good."
"The standout features for us in Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its robust DDoS protection, seamless transparent failover, and failback capabilities ensuring high availability."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"The solution is scalable."
"It's helped us because we've changed fundamentally what we talk about. We don't talk about storage and different tiers of storage anymore nor do we talk about servers. We talk now about applications and how applications impact the business and end users."
"We have additional space in the enclosures for additional disks, so we can scale up without any downtime."
"Remote-copy provides high availability and disaster recovery for the connected clients."
"We're hosting virtual infrastructure on the 3PAR storage and it's been very good for that."
"If you design it right and implement it right, it's headache free. Just keep it there and it does what it's suppose to do."
"There's a lot of good features. HPE 3PAR StoreServ is similar to Dell EMC. It is a high-speed system with automatic failover/failback, integrated with Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware. These are the main reason for choosing HPE 3PAR StoreServ in Denmark. We have a very good consulting service together with the product."
"They are using Ansible to automate the provisioning, so that simplifies the day-to-day operations."
"Being able to snapshot things for backup purposes has been key. We do that on our databases four times a day."
"Having moved over from a lefthand, which was seven or eight years old, there's a massive boost in performance. It has definitely improved the speed, the responsiveness, of all our applications."
"The solution is useful for backups."
"The solution is very stable...The solution is very scalable."
"Compared to a homemade installation, this appliance is very stable."
"It has been our go-to product for backup."
"The most valuable feature is that the backup and restoring process is very fast."
"It’s quite scalable."
"The solution uses minimal resources."
"I personally find Veritas NetBackup Applicance hassle-free."
"We have run into a couple of instances recently where we are running out of space. So we have had to buy some more packs for it and they have deployed fine and it has increased smoothly."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"It is on the expensive side."
"Our use cases require more multi-tenant capabilities and additional VLAN interfaces for separating different customers. We currently use it to provide storage, sometimes shared storage, to different customers, but it is less flexible in comparison to a dedicated solution."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"The availability of technical resources within HPE is becoming a challenge due to availability."
"I would like to see the ability to be able to migrate to newer versions of the 3PAR without having to take any of our data offline and be able to upgrade on the fly."
"There were a few goofy things with support where we were trying to do OS upgrades and HPE MyRoom failed. However, they would not get on WebEx because they are only allowed to get on HPE MyRoom."
"3PAR has StoreOnce and replication. I would like it if they worked together. Or, if I had Nimble and put that either in DR or a primary cohesive management, but still use the cool features of 3PAR, that would be awesome."
"Generally, the management of the multiple systems that we have is really the only problem, always having to go to all these separate tools to manage everything."
"The newer versions have some other characteristics that we are not using. We would like to use them and set them up in our current version."
"I would like to see improvement in the product's scalability. As a partner, I had serious problems because of the competition from Dell EMC and Pure."
"It needs the addition of InfoSight, which is the most critical, along with predictive analytics and AI."
"We had some problems with the backup of the physical server."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"The upgrade process of the solution needs to be improved since it is extremely complicated, especially without the benefit of a support person who can guide one through it."
"I would like the ability to recover a single folder within the backup of a virtual machine."
"They could simplify the process of installing, and provide more space for data during the process."
"They could improve the interface a bit."
"The installation is cumbersome."
"The technical support services could be better."
