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."This is the best all-flash storage array on the market."
"The deduplication and compression meet all of our system requirements."
"We're getting good performance, and the compression ratio is also very good in Pure Storage FlashArray."
"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."
"The availability and ease of use are the big features."
"With Pure Storage, we don't see any latency or IOPS. It has been a very seamless integration."
"I have seen a huge increase in speed and performance on our databases."
"The management features are well organized and they have a very good dashboard."
"This solution has allowed for massive performance acceleration of all workloads and massively increased availability (with peer persistence/transparent failover feature)."
"We do not have to take the whole system down to do upgrades."
"The tool is fast and easy to use. You can also configure it easily. The product also has good performance tuning."
"They are using Ansible to automate the provisioning, so that simplifies the day-to-day operations."
"The 3PAR tool is cheaper to maintain with more storage available."
"The most valuable feature for me is the solution's availability."
"When we started using 3PAR what we liked was the simplicity of the product. We needed a higher performance storage and, in our support model, we needed to keep the simplicity of the storage architecture, keep it as clean and as manageable as we could."
"The most valuable feature of HPE 3PAR StoreServ is its storage capabilities."
"The ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"Performance, cost, and ease of storage management."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"Its performance is amazing. Since I have put Tintri in, I haven't had a complaint from anybody about slowness. On top of that, there is block-level cloning and the ability to spin up VMs."
"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."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"It’s very good at IOPS."
"It's too early to tell if we've seen a reduction in total cost of ownership. The solution is expensive."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"We do have an issue with the vCenter integration. Pure Storage says it has a lot of free space, but vCenter says its completely full. This is because their dedupes are saved as space, but Vcenter still detects the disk as completely full. So, we do have an issue with that."
"It is way in excess of what we need. If anything, we could see a bit more speed. I'm just comparing it with what some of my colleagues who are implementing their own systems do."
"In the configuration, which we brought in or tested it in, it has a very limited config as far as the array goes. That said, it still did more than our anticipation."
"I would like some form of QoS implemented. As a service provider, it would be beneficial to have it."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve some aspects. There are certain features that are good and there are some features that I see some issues with at the technical level. Those issues are related to replication. They need to resolve those issues, which I have already highlighted to the Pure team. Additionally, there are some issues in the active cluster that could improve."
"The configuration and flexibility should improve."
"The availability of technical resources within HPE is becoming a challenge due to availability."
"There are some weird things that we can't figure out."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like them to make it a little easier to find where everything is in the new console. It now has the OneView look and sometimes I don't think the OneView look is enough. It's too different from the original console that was a separate system."
"The replicating software is pretty complicated. I probably would have put it on a sequence."
"Needs more flexibility and expansion, and also relocation, a cloud solution."
"The solution could improve by being able to handle larger data."
"More cloud integration."
"What I feel would be nice, in terms of a wishlist, is scalability. Rather than replacing the whole appliance, I would like to be able to just add another unit and scale it like that."
"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."
"Technical support is an area where we had several issues, and it was hard to get some support in a specific case we had. I'm not very satisfied with them."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"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."
