We performed a comparison between HPE 3PAR StoreServ and Tintri VMstore based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution has probably reduced my power use substantially."
"The management features are well organized and they have a very good dashboard."
"Their technical support is excellent. It's the best out of any of the vendors we work with."
"It has good stability for our company."
"We can store more for a cheaper price as opposed to paying for larger devices and larger rack spaces which get outdated sooner and which we'd have to change every two years. It simplifies storage for us."
"I find two features of Pure Storage most valuable. The first is the "safe mode" function, and the second is its simplicity."
"We were actually able to do multiple upgrades, including head upgrades and moving between the platforms, M20 and M50, over the years. We have never once lost a ping and have never had an outage due to an OS upgrade or a complete head upgrade."
"The solution offers amazing performance."
"When we bought it, the big sell for us was what they called "wide striping", how they striped the data and could get performance on a cheaper disk. Nowadays, the newer models that are out, which we are going to in the next couple of years, the most valuable feature is mainly being able to achieve such high IOPS in such a small chassis."
"It has helped with more than just serving data, but also with recovery."
"The solution is easy to use and very stable."
"The technical support is very good."
"The deduplication functionality is great. We have seen a lot of benefits in the deduplication ratio. So, it has proven that it is a good cost savings."
"The product lasts a very long time without having to be replaced. It's had a very long life."
"We're hosting virtual infrastructure on the 3PAR storage and it's been very good for that."
"The tool is fast and easy to use. You can also configure it easily. The product also has good performance tuning."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"The Deduplication feature in VDI environments. If Tintri says we can host 3000 VMs in our storage, I know we can host 3000 VMs there. Believe the results."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly."
"Performance, cost, and ease of storage management."
"It is a set and forget environment with a very good tooling to view performance and delivers the IOPS we need for our VDI environment."
"Historical analytics would be useful. At the moment, they don't have any type of application built for historical analytics."
"The GUI could improve, it could be more intuitive. There is hidden functionality."
"CIFS and SMB Shares cannot be mounted directly."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"We would like more extended historical data to help with some of the capacity planning. This is something that we are asking for all the time. E.g., what was the historical performance of this particular volume? So, we would like more historicals."
"It was not proactive communication."
"Part of our company works on Dell EMC because Pure Storage did not have synchronous applications when we were purchasing our products."
"I would like to have an easy way to determine the cost per VM so that I can present a solution to our customers."
"HPE gives you how to get everything going, but it would be nice if they could go a little deeper sometimes. That is always the case: To get the value-add, you have to pay for those services."
"I would like to be able to deploy and manage 3PAR within OneView Global Dashboard so we do not have to use the interface for 3PAR."
"There are some weird things that we can't figure out."
"The availability of technical resources within HPE is becoming a challenge due to availability."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ could have better integration into the cloud and converged infrastructure."
"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."
"We need longer names for our volumes. Now it's only 28 characters. It should be 64, or at least more than 32 characters."
"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."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"Technical support is an area where we had several issues, and it was hard to get some support in a specific case we had. I'm not very satisfied with them."
"Their current replication is really just enough to "check the box" that they do replication. We'll probably implement Actifio, Zerto or EMC RecoverPoint for VMs for more critical data replication."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
