HPE 3PAR StoreServ Reviews

We host and store everything we have in HPE 3PAR StoreServ. We created the laws and connected them to our servers, and on those servers, we have VMware as a hypervisor. We make backups of all the data from the servers.

HPE 3PAR StoreServ has a good interface, it is user-friendly and easy to use.

I have used HPE 3PAR StoreServ within the past 12 months.

The solution has been working perfectly, we have not had any issues since we purchased it. HPE 3PAR StoreServ is highly reliable.

HPE 3PAR StoreServ is scalable.

Here in Algeria, we are facing a lot of trouble finding partners and getting support from HPE. There should be better support here in our country.

Recently we had an issue because we added some hard drives to HPE 3PAR StoreServ and we needed to upgrade the VMware to allow support by HPE 3PAR StoreServ hard drives.

We were discussing with our IT manager if we were going to stay with this solution or are we going to use another solution for a disaster recovery plan because we need a disaster recovery plan.

I rate HPE 3PAR StoreServ a nine out of ten.

I am a solution architect, solution designer. Depending on the customer requirements and type of setup, some use the latest versions while others use previous versions.

The solution is used in production environments and cloning environments. We have cloned it multiple times to get better optimization of the storage usage in terms of deduplication.

HPE 3PAR has all the common storage features like cell provisioning and deduplication. Usually the solution is chosen by the customer as they have a preference, or the setup is already in their environment.

If HPE 3PAR could handle NAS and all things related to NAS, you would not need to have a mixture of different storages, storage boxes, one solution could fit all. 

I have been working with HPE 3PAR StoreServ for 7 years.

HPE 3PAR StoreServ is a stable product.

This solution is scalable.

I have compared HPE 3PAR with NetApp, they have a monopoly over the NAS and can handle NAS very well. 

I would rate HPE 3PAR StoreServ an 8 out of 10  as a solution.

HPE 3PAR StoreServ is used as a flash storage system.

HPE 3PAR StoreServ is easy to use and has good performance.

The solution could improve by being more secure.

I have been using HPE 3PAR StoreServ for approximately six years.

I have not contacted the support from HPE.

The installation is straightforward.

We have a technical team of approximately 20 engineers and administrators that supports HPE 3PAR StoreServ. 

I recommend this solution to others.

I rate HPE 3PAR StoreServ a nine out of ten.

We use HPE 3PAR StoreServ for many purposes, such as our database files.

The solution has been good since it was installed, we have not had many problems. We are trying to upgrade the solution to a more current improved solution because it is at its end of life.

The solution could improve by being able to handle larger data.

I have been using HPE 3PAR StoreServ for a few months. The company has been using the solution for approximately five years. The version we are using is at its end of life, it is a traditional server setup in our environment.

HPE 3PAR StoreServ has been stable.

We're being supported locally, but when we have issues with and we have contacted the HPE support, their support is good, it is quick.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate HPE 3PAR StoreServ an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for database backups.

I have been using HPE 3PAR StoreServ for more than four years.

The solution is stable.

HPE 3PAR StoreServ is scalable.

We have approximately 15 customers using this solution.

The technical support is very good but it is expensive.

I have used IBM FlashSystems.

We used three engineers from HPE to do the implementation and it took two days.

The price of the solution could be reduced for the license and for support.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate HPE 3PAR StoreServ a nine out of ten.

This is an amazing solution, it's been very good for all our projects. 

We use the old disk and we can't make a VMO in HPE 3PAR without getting an upgrade. We activated a new disk but it failed, it's hard to manipulate and format it. The disk might be okay but when we put it in the storage array, it failed.

I've been using this solution for seven years. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is an older solution so if you're replacing, buy the new products like Primera and Nimble.

I rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

We use it mostly for databases and file share. 

I like that 3PAR can remake the disk online. That's one of the best features because when we first started, that was the best. The team provisioning feature was also a good one. Those features are the best for me, provisioning and online optimization, and the tier you can have for storage.

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.

I have been working with HPE 3PAR StoreServ for about ten years or since the beginning when the product was in the market.

It's quite stable. The only problem that I have found with this product is when you are missing storage space. When you lack storage space, and the disk is full is when you have most of the problems with this product. But if you don't have these issues, you'll almost never have a problem with it.

Scalability could be better. I think it's getting short right now, and another product has more scalability. This product, I think, is medium if that's acceptable. I don't know how to measure it.

I think it's excellent. I actually think they are very good.

The initial setup is easy. It takes between two to four hours to upload the functions.

It's a good price.

If you want to run this solution, I would say that this product is mostly dying from my point of view. If you're my customer, I would recommend not to buy a 3PAR because there are a lot of new products. I would recommend Nimble, depending on the size, or a Primera if they need a really big solution. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would give HPE 3PAR StoreServ a seven.

 The primary use of this solution is exclusively for VDI.

 I find the most valuable feature to be compression and deduplication. 

The solution could be improved in regard to space reclamation by adding automation. This should be added to the next release.

I have been using the solution for four years.

I have only had to adjust the solution four times in the time I have used it, it is stable. 

The solution is moderately simple to scale. We have approximately 1000 computers using the solution.

The technical support has been fantastic.

The initial setup was straightforward, it took approximately 45 minutes.

We purchased the solution as CapEx and we only pay support now. I find the pricing fantastic. 

My advice to others looking into the implementation of the solution is to pay attention to detail if you are on iSCSI. 

I rate HPE 3PAR StoreServ a nine out of ten.
