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."I think the storage is very good, the way it stores, the thin provisioning it provides, and the data protection. And it's easy to deploy in any environment. We are using VMware. So for me, it's a right click and it's deployed. We can configure and create LUNS very easily with 3PAR management, and the interface is very user-friendly. Easily understandable."
"We like something called Virtual Volumes and how we can do thin provisioning."
"The solution fetches quick responses in milliseconds which can be within 40-50 milliseconds."
"With our 3PARs, we have never lost data."
"Multi-tier storage was the primary reason that we bought it. I also love the interface that you use for administering it."
"It is very easy to manage. I can provision disks and monitor the performance easily."
"After being properly configured, it has been a very stable product."
"Any action we want to do with a Dell EMC product needs a license. But with 3PAR's converged solution, at least there is no need to purchase more licenses to get the all the features that we need. We can get basic and mid-range features without licenses."

"There have been no fail-stop failures for the last five years."
"We are seeing that there are some enhancements which are required in the SSMC console. There are some features that we do not see in the dashboard."
"The initial setup was pretty complex. There were a lot of different things that had to happen which was the reason why they had to send out the HPE engineers to help us."
"The onsite techs have caused outages."
"The initial setup was complex, due to calculating the amount of performance that we needed for the floor."
"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."
"There are issues formulating the upgraded disk."
"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."
"I would like to see more cloud-based integrations and more file storage capabilities."
"Performance could probably be improve with faster controllers, but it is already an old device. We do have performance problems now, but it is a rather old device, so we have what we have."
"I faced some issues during the disk replacement process in HPE EVA."
