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."It comes with a large number of features out-of-the-box, which makes it easy for us to see problems and manage capacity."
"Very stable; no worries about how much it can handle."
"The most valuable feature is it never goes down. We can expand and create volumes."
"The most valuable feature is its speed."
"The mobile app is very helpful."
"We put a fair amount of stress on it because we run sequel workloads and we run web applications where the same web files are hit over and over. We have had almost zero stability issues with that SAN, that has been really great for us."
"The reliability is very good."
"The performance of the storage is just unbelievable."
"I like that 3PAR can remake the disk online. That's one of the best features because when we first started, that was the best. The team provisioning feature was also a good one. Those features are the best for me, provisioning and online optimization, and the tier you can have for storage."
"We built a DR solution based on this, we can sustain our business for any amount of time, 24/7."
"The reliability. We're able to replicate our array to our DR site with minimal work. It's just turn it on and we're ready to go. It reduces risk for the business."
"With the support that our organization has, I can talk to someone right away if I have an issue. It has been very good."
"We saved a ton of power just turning off our old one when we went to the new one."
"Provides High-Availability, security, and high performance"
"For virtualization, the failure rate is much less compared to traditional storage where you need more hard drives"
"It is a rugged, performance system; it is trouble-free and a workhorse."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"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."
"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."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly."
"I like what they're doing, but some of my customers complain that they do not have all the bells and whistles and knobs to fine-tune workloads that some of the competitors have. In my opinion, that's good. All customers don't have dedicated storage gurus, and they can get themselves into trouble if they fine-tune too many of those high-performance knobs, but they do get knocked down. Pure Storage takes a hit in the minds and opinions of some of the customers because they cannot customize things as much as compared to a legacy storage provider's appliance such as NetApp, Dell EMC, or even HPE. I personally think 95% of my customers are better off letting the system fine-tune itself. That was something that you needed to do 12 or 15 years ago, but now with all-flash, the technology can handle what it needs to handle. Customers just end up shooting themselves in the foot if they are tweaking too many default settings."
"Part of our company works on Dell EMC because Pure Storage did not have synchronous applications when we were purchasing our products."
"It is a bit expensive."
"The file functionality could be better."
"A minor issue that comes to mind is that, every once in a while, a hard drive will go bad."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"The technical support is okay, but could be improved."
"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 main problem for 3PAR right now is cost."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ's pricing could be cheaper."
"The initial setup was complex, due to calculating the amount of performance that we needed for the floor."
"3PAR did not increase our performance, and it has increased our latency by at least double."
"We would like to see dedupe and compression allowed on all drive types."
"I give it an eight because of the support, that I can't get support in my country. This is the worst part. Support cannot be sold until we are out of the sanctions."
"I would like to see more flexibility with the cloud. I've actually just been in a presentation about it, here at HPE Discover 2018, so those features are coming."
"There are some weird things that we can't figure out."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"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."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"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."
"Speed of our VDI machines. We have a very high log in and log out ratio and machines are being refreshed instantly so we have a constant boot storm on our storage."
"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."
