"The connections are a lot faster than what we had in the past. One InfiniBand does what we did on all of our Fibre Channels."
"For us, the most valuable feature is the compression and deduplication. Being able to deploy a three to one ratio for storage is absolutely critical in today's world with the growing need for storage and the growing need for more space."
"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."
"Processes that used to take 40 minutes to two hours can be completed in five minutes."
"Our storage phones home. It is smart and intelligent in that aspect, which has been huge for us. We don't have to be storage administrators."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. You simply plug it in and turn it on."
"The tool is simple and easy to use. It has neat features like protection from device removal. Moreover, you can undo the deletes. The solution is easy to work with and not as complicated as CAC"
"Its performance is good. We have a lot of applications that have high I/O, and 3PAR handles those with no problem."
"The Call Home feature is really a great feature, so I do not need to monitor the 3PAR. The 3PAR team is monitoring it and letting me know if there are any problems."
"We're hosting virtual infrastructure on the 3PAR storage and it's been very good for that."
"It is easy to scale, easy to manage, and easy to configure."
"The technical support is very good."
"I am impressed with the product's online upgrades."
"We do not have to take the whole system down to do upgrades."
"Scalability, because our customer is fast growing and our solution should be able to start very small and grow very quickly."
"We love the real-time replication, ease of use when connecting our servers to the storage, and the level of redundancy inside the box... It's also simple software and integrates well with VMware so we get a lot of information about all of the VMs, how they're performing individually, and about network latency. That's very helpful when you're troubleshooting a slowdown."
"The ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"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."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"They should work on their upgrades, they're not smooth."
"A minor issue that comes to mind is that, every once in a while, a hard drive will go bad."
"I would rate this solution an eight because we have had outages. The commit times went very high in the database. The whole array went down so our customers were down for around eight hours. This was a very big outage which could have been our fault because we didn't do the upgrade in time."
"I would like to have support available in Spanish."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"The price should be lower."
"The 3PAR SSD arrays that we have are still failing a lot so even though we're under warranty, we still have to get someone out and usually have someone troubleshoot so that usually adds onto the cost. With Pure, we've had a disc fail and we pop it out and you pop it in and it's good to go."
"In the next version of this program, I would like to see increased security, higher encryption, and faster throughput."
"HPE has a product that I am very interested in, but it lacks of integration with 3PAR - HPE SimpliVity."
"They should add AI-enabled dashboards to the solution."
"Here in Algeria, we are facing a lot of trouble finding partners and getting support from HPE. There should be better support here in our country."
"...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."
"This solution is becoming dated."
"It needs the addition of InfoSight, which is the most critical, along with predictive analytics and AI."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"There are issues formulating the upgraded disk."
"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."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"The Tintri OS and GlobalCenter software do a great job of showing you troubled VMs, however it still could be a bit more helpful in diagnosing the issues."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"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."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
