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 predictive performance analytics is a very good feature, as our system is performing better than before."
"What I like most about this solution, is the speed, resiliency and scalability."
"The reliability is very good."
"The product cheaper compared to other solutions concerning the technology that they are using."
"Very stable; no worries about how much it can handle."
"The technical support is very good."
"The deduplication and compression rates are beyond impressive."
"The deduplication and compression meet all of our system requirements."
"It was the easiest SAN that I have ever set up."
"Any action we want to do with a Dell EMC product needs a license. But with 3PAR's converged solution, at least there is no need to purchase more licenses to get the all the features that we need. We can get basic and mid-range features without licenses."
"With the support that our organization has, I can talk to someone right away if I have an issue. It has been very good."
"It's advantageous in terms of the cost, in terms of the performance, and taking up less space."
"It has been very stable. We've had very minor issues, but I've loved how HPE is proactive on letting us know. Usually, they let us know before we notice it ourselves and they already have a solution for us. It has been great that way."
"Provides High-Availability, security, and high performance"
"We have had it for about two years and had zero problems with it."
"Proactive support. Before we notice that there's a problem in the storage, or any part, any hard disk, they already notify us, and within four hours, the product is delivered. Within the next hour after product delivery, the engineer is available to support me."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"Performance, cost, and ease of storage management."
"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."
"It’s very good at IOPS."
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"The way Pure Storage does the controller storage warranty or replacement has been an issue for some people who just replace the controllers every couple of years, and that's where some of the confusion with pricing and support has come in. They should be clear on the way the controller replacements happen, as it is important to know whether or not you can get a good return on them, because it can be a little confusing."
"Pure Storage support could be a little better."
"It took us a year to get it to stabilize and to get the best out of Pure."
"It needs to improve its price."
"I would like to have an easy way to determine the cost per VM so that I can present a solution to our customers."
"Self-backup is the only feature lacking in this solution."
"The price should be lower."
"The initial setup of the product is complex."
"We need longer names for our volumes. Now it's only 28 characters. It should be 64, or at least more than 32 characters."
"The GUI interface could be improved. I have been having trouble with one issue in particular. If you look at the DC and DR, if there is a communication break and the link went down—so the data is not replicating from DC to DR—there is no way to find out how much data is ready for transmission. Only the size of the data that needs to be transferred after the link comes up. If the firewall link is down, there is no way of seeing how much data is waiting to be transferred. This is a weak point of 3PAR."
"As a management tool, it would help us to have more customer reports."
"We would like to see better support for iSCSI."
"The availability of technical resources within HPE is becoming a challenge due to availability."
"Generally, the management of the multiple systems that we have is really the only problem, always having to go to all these separate tools to manage everything."
"We did a firmware upgrade, and it brought the whole sandbox down. It was supposed to be done transparently, and that did not happen. It was not like we did it on our own; we had support set it up for us."
"The interface could be improved to match the system."
"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."
"More cloud integration."
"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."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"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."
