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 top-tier support and reliable storage are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The availability and ease of use are the big features."
"The first set up we had was really straight forward and simple."
"The amount of throughput that we're getting is really nice."
"The tool has reduced our power consumption."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is the all-flash storage performance, low latency, and efficiency of their de-duplication technology. Additionally, the ease of use is good compared to other storage systems. The features in data protection, snapshotting, and replication between data centers and sites are superior to other solutions."
"The stability is perfect. The reliability is 100% and the latency is always lower than 1 millisecond."
"I like FlashArray's ActiveCluster as well as its snapshot and cloning capabilities."
"Previously, we were using EVA from HPE. When we moved to 3PAR, we noticed a reduction in footprint, reduced by more than 30%. We use the Adaptive Optimization, giving us a reduction in cost and with better performance."
"So far, we have yet to have a disk fail on either system, other than one I forced to fail when we first got the system in. So the reliability of the 3PAR system has been outstanding."
"The solution is stable."
"Resilience and reliability, unmatched. They take good care of us."
"The solution’s deduplication functionality works great. We are getting about a 16:1 dedupe ratio on our VM workloads."
"The 3PAR tool is cheaper to maintain with more storage available."
"The tool is fast and easy to use. You can also configure it easily. The product also has good performance tuning."
"The all-flash positions our organization for growth. If somebody comes to us who needs an application with performance, we have that already formulated."
"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."
"I like Tintri's Global Admin feature and the solution's performance. It's incredibly fast storage, which was a significant upgrade for us when we deployed it seven years ago. The Tintri snapshots are brilliant and incredibly reliable."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"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."
"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."
"On a couple of occasions, the waiting time for an upgrade has been pretty substantial."
"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."
"We would like to integrate it more with our backup solutions."
"It was not proactive communication."
"I would love for them to have a hyper-converged solution."
"The one major gripe I have is that there is no snapshotting enabled by default on the SAN."
"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."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see automated copy data management for SQL Server."
"if it were easier for us to manage the product ourselves without having to get HPE to connect, because it sometimes it does take a bit to get the scheduling worked out with the HPE support. If it were simpler, then it might be easier for us to handle it ourselves."
"The product is quite expensive."
"A lot of tasks, you have to manually set up. They need to already have them set up and working. Then, you can just go in and tweak them if you need to."
"During the initial setup, it was a bit complex in the wiring of the cages."
"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."
"The new feature sets, like deduplication and compression, are complex to work with. I hope when I view the roadmap that they will be less complex."
"They should add AI-enabled dashboards to the solution."
"We are still waiting for the compression feature to be deployed."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"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."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"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."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"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."
"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."
