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."Pure is simple to set up and manage on a day-to-day basis."
"NVMe data storage platform that's easy to set up and easy to use. It's stable, with a lower response time, and quick technical support."
"The ease of use. That's what our customers love. They say it's very easy, they don't need special training, they don't need to call us or any other company or integrator to help them do their job. That's the main reason they purchase Pure."
"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"
"Performance is the most valuable feature."
"Because of the encryption, we have different storage and the encryption can go over both."
"Very efficient storage"
"The speed is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"Technical support for both 3PAR and Dell EMC in my country, Iran, is very difficult because we are under sanctions."
"The ease of management is its most valuable feature. It is so much easier to manage storage on a 3PAR array than anything that we have had before."
"The 3PAR tool is cheaper to maintain with more storage available."
"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."
"It's advantageous in terms of the cost, in terms of the performance, and taking up less space."
"It is very stable. That is why we bought it."
"The product lasts a very long time without having to be replaced. It's had a very long life."
"It's a very popular product for enterprise storage."
"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."
"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production."
"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."
"We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"The Deduplication feature in VDI environments. If Tintri says we can host 3000 VMs in our storage, I know we can host 3000 VMs there. Believe the results."
"Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly."
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"I would like some performance analytics which go deeper than today. It should be specific to some hosts and applications. This would be good."
"I would rate this solution an eight. To make it a ten it would have to be a little cheaper."
"Part of our company works on Dell EMC because Pure Storage did not have synchronous applications when we were purchasing our products."
"The support for NFS protocols right out-of-the-box need improvement. I'm used to other storage vendors who have NFS support right out-of-the-box, and Pure Storage doesn't seem to have anything."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"I recognize it's a difficult challenge, but I would like to see them make the pricing more reasonable."
"The price of Pure Storage FlashArray could be better."
"The problem is that we can only make a few groups, around five or six groups. I like groups and we need a lot of them. We had to put all the information in only a few groups and cannot make a more detailed separation of them."
"The solution could improve by being able to handle larger data."
"This solution is now at end-of-life."
"I would like to be able to deploy and manage 3PAR within OneView Global Dashboard so we do not have to use the interface for 3PAR."
"I would like an easier user interface and setup to help with deployment. There were many areas of the setup where I was like, “Why don't we do it this way?” Therefore, some of the things in the user interface could have been more refined, so you don't have to click in 5000 different places to accomplish one goal. Less clicks means more efficiency."
"We are waiting for compression."
"File Persona can be better. I don't use File Persona because it has many problems with my environment. The antivirus that it has is not compatible with File Persona, and that's a big issue with File Persona. 3PAR is not as good as Dell when making a file in the storage. 3PAR for a block is very good, but when comparing row capacity, I get 14% capacity with 3PAR, but with Dell, I get 60% capacity."
"The management interface is not intuitive."
"Would like to see some management functions through a web interface."
"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."
"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."
"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 product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"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."
