HPE Alletra Storage Reviews

We've been able to optimize storage with Alletra.

The data availability guarantee is great. Fortunately, we haven't had to use it, however, it's good to know it's there as an insurance policy.

It's helped us reduce time spent on storage provisioning. It's gone from weeks to days to hours and minutes. The automated tools and intelligence built in make provisioning storage a lot easier. 

It's helped increase storage performance for IOPs. With every new controller family comes more IOPs plus NVMe it's boundless.

We haven't had any issues with the solution so far.

We haven't had any issues with stability. Upgrading is easy. 

The product is easy to scale.

Technical support is excellent. Nimble support is the gold standard. They are always there and the follow-up is great. 

Positive

We've used EMC and 3PAR in the past. Alletra is easy to provision and rock solid. It also has INfoSight analytics. 

Many clients are using a variety of clouds, including AWS, Microsoft, etc. 

It's easy to deploy out of the box.

We help our clients with the implementation.

As a reseller, I can't speak to ROI. 

Licensing is great, even with the additional cost of data cloud services and the cloud console. As customers adapt to that and bring more cloud into their management plane, it's easy to see why many have moved to the cloud base, which is where customers want to be.

We have a lot of customers who are looking at Pure and other storage vendors. The ease of use and ease to provision alongside rock-solid support make Allertra a standout.

I'm a reseller, not a customer.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. It's easy to set up with a rock-solid performance. InfoSight is a clear differentiator compared to all the other storage companies.

We are running different types of workloads on HPE Alletra Storage, and it provides us with good performance.

We purpose-built it for a specific requirement, consuming features like encryption and deduplication between sites. It offers good deduplication ratios, comparing well with Pure Storage. HPE Alletra Storage helps simplify storage operations, integrating with vCenter. Many modern storages provide a unified view, which we utilize. Overall, it has streamlined our analysis process, thanks to automation and reporting features.

We recently started consuming HPE Alletra Storage.

We have not seen any performance issues. In fact, it assists in monitoring IOPS fluctuations and analyzing transaction patterns. We do monthly analyses of our storage consumption trajectory.

HPE Alletra Storage provides predictable performance and capacity.

We have not faced any scalability issues with HPE Alletra Storage.

HPE technical support is good, with no complaints so far.

Neutral

We already had Pure Storage and replaced Nimble Storage, leading us to adopt HPE Alletra Storage for the upgrade.

The initial setup was straightforward, taking about two and a half weeks from data center configuration to full provisioning and testing.

Our internal team handled the deployment. The backend physical setup was simpler, while the process took time for completion.

I will know more about ROI in a couple of months as we recently commissioned the storage. So far, it is breaking even with our investment plans.

I cannot quantify the cost reduction yet, but modern storages come with many features that benefit customers.

The consideration was an upgrade from Nimble, and so we evaluated HPE Alletra Storage.

I rate HPE Alletra Storage an eight or nine. I would like to see further support for features like ransomware protection. Exploring Alletra MP in the future could be beneficial. The current interface is satisfactory.
