HPE StoreEasy vs IBM FlashSystem comparison

"The tool's data protection capabilities are robust."

"This solution allows me to better and more easily manage user data without impacting my primary storage."

"I like the tool's provisioning feature and OneView."

"The most valuable feature of HPE StoreEasy is the storing of virtual machines."

"I can use both the on-premises and cloud storage options. I need to have an APR extension from StoreEasy, and it's that simple."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the duplication."

"I like the user quotas, integrations, and separations for storage."

"The most beneficial feature of HPE StoreEasy for us is its easy implementation and maintenance."

"IBM FlashSystem is a stable solution."

"One of the most valuable features is that it's very easy to use and configure. It used to be more difficult, but now it's almost flawless."

"No queuing and high ops, speed, and performance."

"We've found the solution to be very stable so far."

"The most valuable features in IBM FlashSystem are IOPS, performance, duplication, and compression."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The ability to create LUNs and modify them are the most valuable features of this solution."

"FlashSystem offers proven technology in a compact package."

"The support of HPE StoreEasy can improve its responsiveness. Dell support is better."

"We need some monitoring tools and it would be helpful if they were included."

"It would be better if it were more scalable. In the next release, I would like to access some Microsoft Windows storage server features. I guess the newest version of Windows Server has some restrictions."

"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."

"The areas of HPE StoreEasy that need improvement are scalability and migration."

"I would like to improve the tool's technical support. I would also like to see the product's hybrid cloud version."

"There is a default Windows installation. Sometimes, when it crashes, the HPE support team asks the customer to reinstall it. That is the only issue customers are facing."

"The GUI for monitoring performance metrics could provide better visibility. For example, it doesn't let me segregate the IOPS per volume."

"The security features can be improved such that the encryption does not affect performance in any way."

"I would like to see bigger modules."

"The Data Reduction Pools (DRP) support could be better."

"If you want to expand, you cannot expand the disc enclosure. You have to buy a total individual node. Sometimes, this is difficult because we are just looking for capacity and not a node."

"The pricing could be improved, but I think it's getting better and better with each version. IBM needs to implement NAS storage again, as this is a big flaw. Dell EMC is very good at this and if you compared them based on NAS storage, Dell EMC would win right away. IBM's solution for NAS storage is very complicated. We don't have a storage box that provides file sharing from itself, we have to put software on it and go through a whole complicated process. It should be simplified."

"Include an option to upload the support package to the IBM ECuRep when opening an IBM PMR."

"This product lacks some of the options we wanted. For example, expansion was difficult and it required a lot of patching to be done."

"Based on what I hear from our customers, it is not very expensive. From the cost perspective, I see nobody complaining about its cost."

"This is an economical solution for the company and I am satisfied with the pricing."

"I would rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten. You need to pay additional costs for the solution."

"The price of HPE StoreEasy is approximately $15,000 to $20,000 and it is a one-time purchase. The price is similar to competitors, such as Dell."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"Pricing can be considered as per market competition."

"The solution has good pricing, but it is not cheaper."

"Overall the price of the solution is expensive and this includes the license."

"Its price is very good."

"I would rate the pricing of this solution a four out of five."

"Regarding licensing make sure you add at least three years software maintenance from IBM at the beginning, because you will not be able to download firmware updates or any fixes/patches without this."

"This is an expensive product and if the price were reduced it would be better."
