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 console is simple to use. It has good performance. It is easy to install, understand, and manage, with a good ratio of deduplication and compression. It is doing its job."
"The solution helps to simplify storage."
"Pure Storage FlashArray has significantly improved our data center performance. It handles high workloads efficiently, providing better performance in the environment. With increased storage capacity, it has led to improved overall system performance. The tool's technology is a standout feature. It has helped me reduce storage costs by 15 percent."
"We like the speed. It's very low latency. In virtualization, you can mask lots of problems, and even in code you can mask lots of problems, with low latency. It's just pure speed and low latency."
"There was a dramatic improvement in operating costs just as a result of the environmentals and space, let alone the cost of the unit itself."
"This solution is very scalable."
"Lone segmentation is simpler and more agile. It's improved the velocity in overall provisioning from project to operation."
"Our storage phones home. It is smart and intelligent in that aspect, which has been huge for us. We don't have to be storage administrators."
"This product is stable, aside from the performance problems we had."
"The Remote Copy Group is amazing for the replication stuff."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ is easy to use, fully featured and has a great graphical user interface."
"We're hosting virtual infrastructure on the 3PAR storage and it's been very good for that."
"Good performance because it's an all-flash system. Basically, our applications run faster."
"The availability of the server has given us increased stability in our environment."
"The intelligence around the solution is good."
"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."
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful."
"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."
"As partners, we should have the option to download the software, rather than have to go back through Pure to obtain it."
"I would like the ability to swap out the network adapters into it. So, without taking out the whole controller, I would like to be able to swap adapters. This would make things easier."
"The GUI is simplistic and basic. I feel like it's explanatory, but not enough, it needs a little more to it."
"It's too early to tell if we've seen a reduction in total cost of ownership. The solution is expensive."
"A three wave application or multi wave application synchronization would be an improvement."
"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."
"They are doing some stuff with containers and an object search. These could be improved, because containers is one of the main topics that we are talking with our customers about."
"We need to add more storage in Pure Storage FlashArray with the cluster mode activated for us to have better performance."
"The hard part with the initial setup was that we were on EMC VNX and trying to get those converted over into the HPE 3PAR, that process took awhile, along with scheduling downtime to get some of the physical stuff migrated over to the new device."
"The engagement of the tool's vendor is costly."
"There is a slight difference between what we expected and what was delivered."
"We are waiting for compression."
"We do not use Memory-Driven Flash in the old 3PAR. Perhaps we will use it in the new 3PAR. That is part of the reason why we are upgrading."
"We've started to see an issue with the older models that we have. We've had issues where facilities would have unscheduled power outages or scheduled power outages and the 3PARs weren't able to come up successfully. We actually had an incident recently where it wiped data that we didn't anticipate would be wiped."
"The initial setup was complex, due to calculating the amount of performance that we needed for the floor."
"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 solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
"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."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"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."
"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'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
