We performed a comparison between HPE 3PAR StoreServ and Oracle Sun ZFS Storage Appliance based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The overall quality of the product is fantastic. Advanced Optimization is one of the best features I never thought I needed until I actually used it and saw it in action."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ is easy to use and has good performance."
"All-flash has been the most innovative way of using storage based on the 3PAR platform."
"The predictive analytics, where we're getting notifications prior to a failure has been helpful."
"Its snapshot capability is the most valuable feature, because replicate our databases from production to nonproduction for development. This allows us to do it very quickly."
"It has improved uptime, as well as speed to delivery."
"I benefit from the HPE Call Home feature. It tells me about any issue once I have it."
"It was the easiest SAN that I have ever set up."
"I like its storage capacity, quick access to the data, speed, and overall storage management."
"The configuration and flexibility should improve."
"It's a very complex platform to manage and it's not cheap either. It doesn't really give us the level of flexibility we had for very, very small workloads."
"This solution is now at end-of-life."
"The hard part with the initial setup was that we were on EMC VNX and trying to get those converted over into the HPE 3PAR, that process took awhile, along with scheduling downtime to get some of the physical stuff migrated over to the new device."
"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."
"...sizing is everything. If you don't do the sizing right and you don't understand every detail of the product, how it works, you can be in a very unpleasant situation when you pay half a million dollars and you have a product that does not work as you expected."
"It would also help if they integrate current technologies, newer technologies, and more efficient technologies, as time progresses. For example, integrate the fourth level of NAND devices."
"I need flexibility for interoperability across multiple platforms, not just HPE."
"The main thing Oracle can improve is the cost. It would be better if Oracle opened up the system to enable integration with other vendors. Whether it's the database, application server, or storage appliance, they should make it easy to integrate them. They need to open up more to ensure that it can work in any environment and IT ecosystem."
