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."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."
"This is the best all-flash storage array on the market."
"It simplifies building out the storage."
"I use all the features of this solution and I find them to be easy to use and functional, such as the compression and capacity to expand."
"The performance and the ever-growing maintenance are the most valuable features of this solution."
"We've been using FlashArray's snapshot for backups. Their replication across sites and response time are also excellent."
"The data reduction technology part of the scalability has been impressive, like its ability to host additional workloads, volumes of data, and databases."
"It's actually very stable"
"It's a really stable solution. We have no problems with the customer, no negative feedback from them on this."
"The biggest benefit is the fact that it's pretty much bulletproof; we never have any issues with them."
"The optimization features move chunklets or hot spots to faster drives."
"The product has definitely improved throughput. We are able to more efficiently see patients because all of our medical records and practice management software seems to run faster. Uploading images and charts is a lot faster. Recalling information in the exam rooms is faster. The overall throughput of data, going back and forth, is so we can more efficiently see patients, and it also helps increase our patient flow. We can see patients a lot faster, getting them in and out a lot more quickly."
"With the HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity, we can grow as required."
"The most valuable feature of HPE 3PAR StoreServ is its online upgrades."
"We have been able to scale faster and get our applications out in much less time. We don't need to worry about the platform's ability to manage the workload, so we are pretty happy."
"After being properly configured, it has been a very stable product."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"Performance, cost, and ease of storage management."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"It’s very good at IOPS."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"Most of our upgrades have not been as smooth as they should have been."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve the recent file storage capabilities because it is lacking a lot of features."
"The price of this solution could be improved."
"We would like to see better troubleshooting aspects. It helps us if we can find out where the problem is. Right now, it's difficult. Sometimes it's difficult to pinpoint the issue. If they had more visibility and more troubleshooting feature built into the tool that would really help."
"If they could make it cheaper, that would be something."
"The technical support is okay, but could be improved."
"Pricing could be better in comparison to other solutions."
"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 see more virtualization: storage virtualization, data virtualization would be very nice."
"The tool needs improvement in the utilization report at the granular level."
"The initial setup was pretty complex. There were a lot of different things that had to happen which was the reason why they had to send out the HPE engineers to help us."
"I would like to see the reliability improve. While it has been a good product, the QA of the product could be done a little more thoroughly."
"It's still an older architecture, you've got a lot of physical spinning disks. I would imagine more the memory-based computing is coming."
"We do not use Memory-Driven Flash in the old 3PAR. Perhaps we will use it in the new 3PAR. That is part of the reason why we are upgrading."
"HPE has a product that I am very interested in, but it lacks of integration with 3PAR - HPE SimpliVity."
"There were a few goofy things with support where we were trying to do OS upgrades and HPE MyRoom failed. However, they would not get on WebEx because they are only allowed to get on HPE MyRoom."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"I would like it to have the ability to store data other than virtual machines. At the moment, you can only connect VMs to it, and that’s a bit disappointing."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"The biggest area for improvement, and there has been some roadmap work in this area already, is cloud integration... Tintri has been investing in this area and I'm sure will continue to, but cloud integration has been the biggest area that we've been crossing our fingers and hoping for quick development around."
"I would like to be able to add more storage capacity to our 2 units down the road with out buying an additional seprate array."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
