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."I find two features of Pure Storage most valuable. The first is the "safe mode" function, and the second is its simplicity."
"It has good stability for our company."
"Technical support is excellent. I've had very good responses from technical support. We had a couple of cases where we needed support. Some of the communications were purely over email and some has been an actual call to the service desk."
"All our junior partners can administer the storage arrays. It is simple and easy to use. We don't have to dedicate a whole team of full time people to work on it."
"The performance of the storage is just unbelievable."
"The stability of Pure Storage is very very good."
"The availability and ease of use are the big features."
"The deduplication and compression rates are beyond impressive."
"The technical support is very good."
"It provides very fast deployment. The performance for our most critical applications is very quick."
"Remote-copy provides high availability and disaster recovery for the connected clients."
"The solution offers good stability."
"The features which are most valuable are the availability of the system and the management."
"It is fast and stable. It is really helping us a lot in terms of data store, etc."
"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."
"It's a very popular product for enterprise storage."
"Among the most valuable features are its granular replication, the ability to define asynchronous or synchronous replication, which gives us very definable RTOs and RPOs around that type of service, and granular quality-of-service configuration, which allows for cases where you've got multiple customers on a single Tintri, but you want to be able to offer strong quality-of-service metrics and KPIs."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"Tintri VMstore is rock solid. We have not had a single issue with stability. It is also very low maintenance allowing us to concentrate on project work."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"I would love for them to have a hyper-converged solution."
"I would like to see active replication. I know that it's available now but I haven't tried it yet. I hope that it works."
"It goes at about 95 percent, so we have had some performance issues. It is hard to clear them."
"In some cases, we get into very in-depth conversations around movement of specific data and, what's more, chunk sizes. The documentation lacked any description or information on that."
"The system has dual controllers but does not have a high level of resiliency built-in."
"I would like to see some improvements on the FlashBlade side around the CIFS space support. I am not super familiar with all the different NAS protocols that they run on their box, but there could be some improvements made on SMB CIFS side."
"Automation could be simplified."
"The GUI could improve, it could be more intuitive. There is hidden functionality."
"We are using a built-in solution in 3PAR. We are using All-Flash Storage, and there are some difficulties with it. HPE has now developed a new tool system to support All-Flash, and that's why we are changing our investment. They must increase its performance. I want unlimited support, which is very important for performance. I am not interested in spinning disks. HPE is developing new storage systems called Primera, but they must be developed more."
"3PAR did not increase our performance, and it has increased our latency by at least double."
"...sizing is everything. If you don't do the sizing right and you don't understand every detail of the product, how it works, you can be in a very unpleasant situation when you pay half a million dollars and you have a product that does not work as you expected."
"The product is quite expensive."
"This solution should be easier to use."
"We would like to see deduplication and hybrid in the next release of the solution."
"I would like to have single click upgrades because the process is cumbersome right now."
"The solution’s customer support could be improved."
"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."
"On the software side, I suggest adding integration with backups software like CommVault Simpana or Veeam where these products can integrate with the array and trigger things like snapshots for backup, etc."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"Tintri's Cloud Connector currently only goes to AWS and IBM Cloud, and we don't use either because we're Microsoft Silver Partners. It would be great to get the Cloud Connector feature with Azure. If it's not already on Tintri's roadmap, that's something I'd like to see."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"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."
