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 tool has reduced our power consumption."
"The code upgrades are very smooth."
"The most valuable feature is its upgradeability."
"What I like most about this solution, is the speed, resiliency and scalability."
"The solution offers amazing performance."
"As soon as we introduced our first Pure Storage FlashArray, the first benefit was at least twice the performance increase. Our production databases simply ran twice as fast with no other change."
"The amount of throughput that we're getting is really nice."
"The first year, we started out with one or five terabytes and it took what was 20 terabytes of storage down to less than one terabyte."
"The most valuable features for me are the simple management of the platform and its performance."
"The stability is what we consider to be the best feature it provides. The stability of this solution is what conquers us, every day."
"Scalability is incredible. We have a single server cabinet today, but we can grow it to as many cabinets as we need."
"I benefit from the HPE Call Home feature. It tells me about any issue once I have it."
"The predictive analytics, where we're getting notifications prior to a failure has been helpful."
"It is easy to set up, easy to use, and user-friendly. It is easier to work with HPE 3PAR than with Hitachi. Its technical support is also good."
"We use all the features, but some of the most valuable are the replication, priority optimization, provisioning, and deduplication. There are a lot of good features in this product."
"The command line is very extensive, a lot of tools so in comparison to other vendors. It's one of the great things about 3PAR, that you can really drill down on performance, get statistics, really know how your system is internally performing."
"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."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"The ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"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."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"I feel like there is too much automation; the user doesn't have any manual input."
"It goes at about 95 percent, so we have had some performance issues. It is hard to clear them."
"Pure Storage will have issues with positioning in the near future since its a relatively new company. For now, customers need a PoC to trust using the solution, as it can't stand on its brand name alone. They need to improve Pure Storage's marketing."
"The initial setup of the product is complex."
"Areas for improvement would be the financial operations. In the next release, I would like to see a NAS protocol included."
"What it needs to do is work a little closer with solutions, like VMware, so it understands the particular workloads that are on it. Today, it does not understand the applications which are running against it."
"The GUI is simplistic and basic. I feel like it's explanatory, but not enough, it needs a little more to it."
"It was not proactive communication."
"Scalability and management could be improved."
"Upgrades on them are a bit tricky. For us to do a head swap on one is a full outer joiner storage frame, which is obviously not that easy to do in a production environment."
"We have had a few issues with it. We had our virtual environment lock up a few times on storage-based things. We think we have it sorted out, but maybe it came down to a configuration issue on it."
"As a management tool, it would help us to have more customer reports."
"I think cloud integration would probably be the biggest part, because that's where everyone is going and the seamless integration between on-premise and cloud is an important part of any IT strategy today."
"It needs the addition of InfoSight, which is the most critical, along with predictive analytics and AI."
"We have issues with scalability because 3PAR has limited storage capacity, so we have to invest more after a while."
"We had a minor error when we were configuring this system, which initially detracted from its overall stability."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"Their support staff just doesn't have the experience with all of the products that we're running. They don't know the 850 series like we do because it's five years old. There is a little bit of a gap, and that may just be because we're an old customer running on platforms that their staff hasn't seen. I would like to see an improvement in their in-depth knowledge of their older products."
"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 think with the world soon becoming only SSD, possibly NVMe, and 3D Xpoint. It would make sense for Tintri to drop the hybrid array down the line."
"More cloud integration."
"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."
"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 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."
