HPE Primera vs HPE StoreOnce comparison

"The high availability of the product is the most valuable feature."

"I appreciate the performance."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."

"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."

"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."

"Everything, especially the VMs inside, is pretty fast."

"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."

"The solution uses newer technology for deduplication and compression."

"The initial setup is very straightforward. It's not overly complex."

"Our customers have given very positive feedback about InfoSign, which is the management software for this solution."

"The product has better replication features than the previous products."

"HPE Primera is scalable."

"The high availability was most valuable because they come with what's called 100% data availability. With special terms, they license and guarantee 100% data availability. That was probably one of the key features or components that HPE was offering with that model."

"It is stable and reliable."

"Primera's main advantage is its support for NVM drives and normal flash drives. It has some sort of AI analysis that automatically tells us how to optimize the performance."

"In my opinion, HPE is making good progress and moving ahead with InfoSight, which is predictive analytics and artificial intelligence."

"HPE StoreOnce is particularly useful in situations where organizations require a backup solution to store their data. Its deduplication feature is quite impressive, providing a deduplication ratio of around 25 to 26."

"The solution is stable."

"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."

"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"

"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreOnce is the virtual drive."

"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."

"The important feature is compression and duplication. It has a good compression ratio and is very stable."

"Quick recovery."

"There are some challenges with data encryption and reduction."

"Right now, the box itself is just strictly working as a backend storage system. It would be fantastic if we could access it directly like a NAS device through network access or SIS drives. I think they have an interface, but I am not sure how good it is. If we could address a box directly on the network without having to go through a server, it would be great. The replication schemas could be improved. We are not using replication on the storage level right now. We use a different type of replication. If their replication would be as good as the one that we have, I would probably run the replication schema because it might be faster, but I don't know that for a fact. So, I cannot say that they have good replication. All I can say is that they need to inform us better."

"Adding some functions to the product would be beneficial. Storage replication should be essential, and the analytics should not incur extra charges."

"The software layer has to improve."

"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."

"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."

"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."

"It feels more suitable for small and medium-sized businesses rather than enterprises."

"The initial setup is not straightforward."

"Price is always important in Turkey, so HPE could lower the price to keep it competitive. It's not as competitive as other solutions in this market."

"I would like to see improved training offered with HPE Primera."

"The product’s price needs improvement."

"Recently, we had many issues with HPE Primera storage, mainly in the leveling process, which caused many problems for the customers."

"The pricing is very high."

"The product's stale snapshots feature needs improvement."

"Some application solutions can be more acceptable on the HPE Primera site."

"The latency is a bit high."

"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."

"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The appliance doesn't have the global deduplication, it has StoreOnce deduplication. It does not deduplicate across the appliance, it will deduplicate in one particular store. With the global deduplication, I could store more data."

"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce should be more user-friendly. Additionally, the configuration and troubleshooting could be better."

"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."

"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."

"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."

"The tool's pricing is cheap; I rate it a six to seven out of ten. Most of our sales are not subscription-based. We sell the hardware, and customers keep using it. They only renew the service part annually. The support can be a bit pricey, but the solution is more cost-effective than anything else out there."

"With Pure Storage, we would like to continue seeing price reductions with flash storage. I don't think we're any different than anybody else when we continue to look to the industry for price reductions of both NVMe and traditional SSD storage. We would like to see these prices continue to decline and erode, even displacing large spinning disks."

"With VMware, we pay $300,000 annually."

"Pure FlashArray X NVMe’s pricing is cheaper than other products."

"Given its price, Pure is not the first option."

"Its price could be better. It is not too expensive, but it is the high-end cost. It is kind of a Rolls-Royce. You pay a lot, but you get a lot out of it. So, the price pressure on the way down would be great, but at the end of the day, if you need to do the work, you just pay for it."

"As far as the licensing costs, everything is included in the license."

"We pay approximately $50,000 USD per year in licensing fees."

"From what I see, this is competitively-priced and HPE are doing their best to stay competitive."

"The cost is $75,000 for a three-year contract."

"The price to capacity ratio is good."

"The solution is cost-effective. I rate it an eight out of ten, with ten being excellent."

"HPE Primera service is cost-effective."

"I believe HPE Primera and Pure Storage are similar in price."

"The solution is quite cost-effective."

"It is basically in the mid-range of the price. It is not cheaper than Hitachi, but it is cheaper than Pure Storage. There are no additional costs. Everything was taken care of in the price."

"The cost of HPE StoreOnce is very expensive."

"I rate the platform's pricing a seven out of ten."

"The solution is pretty expensive."

"With the same capacity of Data Domain and ExaGrid, which is 80 terabytes, HPE is the cheapest one."

"I think the product is competitive in terms of pricing. Other products like the one from Dell are costlier compared to the tool."

"The product's pricing is medium."

"To be honest, we were quite happy with the price, but we always want things cheaper than they are. I think for what we got, we felt that the price was quite reasonable comparing it to other products that provide that same level of functionality."

"Price-wise, it comes with a high price tag when compared to other products."
