Dell XtremIO vs HPE StoreOnce comparison

"Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."

"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."

"It has good, reliable, fast storage."

"The solution is scalable."

"The most valuable features of Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its superior performance compared to other flash tiers, as well as its ease of use, with an intuitive user interface that is simple to deploy and use."

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

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

"Pure Storage has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"The performance is good, which is important."

"The most valuable features are that it is fast and reliable."

"The speed is extremely valuable."

"The program is very stable."

"The Metro clustering and solid-state performance, are the most valuable features of this solution."

"Xtrem10's features are more simple to implement. The integration and interface are also good."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its high performance."

"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."

"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."

"The hardware is strong and all the equipment has a good infrastructure. Personally, I think it's the best storage product in HPE for small to medium-sized businesses."

"It is a very scalable solution."

"I think the most valuable feature is the catalyst technology, which is in the StoreOnce appliance."

"Quick recovery."

"The most effective features for data deduplication are maximizing storage capacity and minimizing expenditure."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its UI. The product's UI makes it easy for users to configure the tool."

"It is on the expensive side."

"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."

"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."

"Adding some functions to the product would be beneficial."

"Managing data isn't difficult for me. The performance is usually perfect, but we sometimes have capacity problems."

"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."

"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."

"The software layer has to improve."

"The solution's stability has certain shortcomings where improvements are needed."

"Management and reporting need improvement."

"I am not too impressed with XtremeIO because we had a major failure."

"The interface could be simplified for beginners to ease the configuration of special objects in the system."

"XtremIO needs to be lower priced. It also needs better endpoints and scalability."

"Dell's technical support could be better."

"It can be more cost-efficient."

"This solution is geared toward enterprise-level companies. Small and medium-sized businesses would find it extremely expensive."

"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."

"Some high-level cybersecurity features could be achieved with some entities, and their integration could be built into the store."

"The GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement."

"The solution could always be less expensive."

"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."

"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."

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

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

"They can tout the functionality and cutting edge technology that they have, but that's where the price tag comes in. The cost is high, but I think as they grow their business and get more customers that it will probably go down a little bit."

"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."

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

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

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

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

"The product is expensive."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis."

"It's not cheap, but it absolutely gets the job done. I don't have any real comment regarding licensing specifically."

"Licensing is approximately $200,000 per year."

"This is the best flash array on the market for high-end workloads, so expect to pay for that. But the support subscription cost is fixed for seven years, which made it easier for us to plan on the maintenance costs."

"Dell XtremIO's price is affordable and I would rate it a five out of ten."

"XtremIO is pretty straightforward about pricing. However, you need to look at your data so you can estimate, with the advice of DEL EMC, what data reduction ratio you will reach. In our case, a 3:1 reduction ration gave us a positive case compared to other storage arrays."

"This solution is a little bit pricey."

"With some workloads that benefit from compression and deduplication, costs are actually better than some tier 2 subsystems (while latency remains <1ms)."

"There are costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"The licensing schemes could improve in HPE StoreOnce and the price is high. They should reduce the price."

"The price of the product is reasonable."

"The product is not expensive. It is available at a good price."

"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."

"The solution is pretty expensive."

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

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