"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."
"It is easy to set up, easy to use, and user-friendly. It is easier to work with HPE 3PAR than with Hitachi. Its technical support is also good."
"Tech support is great, and that is for any of their team who has ever worked with us. They are willing and committed to making sure the customer is treated the way we need to be."

"Feature-wise, with the InfoSight additions, there is a lot of the stuff missing in the intelligent interface. As they grow and push, a lot of it will not tie into Hyper-V."
"We had a minor error when we were configuring this system, which initially detracted from its overall stability."
"This solution should be easier to use."
"The availability of technical resources within HPE is becoming a challenge due to availability."
"The solution lacks reliability."
"if it were easier for us to manage the product ourselves without having to get HPE to connect, because it sometimes it does take a bit to get the scheduling worked out with the HPE support. If it were simpler, then it might be easier for us to handle it ourselves."
"I want artificial intelligence. I don't want anybody from my team to touch it anymore. I want the AI to do everything."
"The first array that they sent us was in some type of a factory mode. We didn't find that out until we loaded a bunch of data onto it, then we had to back it all off. We had to replace the array, which was sort of painful."
"We need some monitoring tools and it would be helpful if they were included."
"I would like to improve the tool's technical support. I would also like to see the product's hybrid cloud version."
"The support of HPE StoreEasy can improve its responsiveness. Dell support is better."
"When I configure the StoreEasy in a complex environment I have problems finding compatibility with all the software."
"The cluster service is not available in the latest version of HPE StoreEasy."
