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."Before we used Pure Storage it took 93 days of employees who run the database to back up and restore databases. The scale of deployment basically went from several days to a few minutes."
"Having fast storage allows actual servers to perform in high capacity so we don't have slowdowns on our applications."
"Having an intuitive user interface to get things running is great."
"It's extremely stable and has good performance."
"It's very fast and very easy to use. It performs well and is both flexible and compatible. We like it because it's easy to use."
"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 back-end data reporting for Pure Storage is phenomenal. The data that you can see on the performance of your customers' array, so you can be proactive about upgrades or enhancements, and is a phenomenal tool to have access to as a partner. I haven't seen this type of stuff out of anything of the other storage systems."
"Lone segmentation is simpler and more agile. It's improved the velocity in overall provisioning from project to operation."
"If you design it right and implement it right, it's headache free. Just keep it there and it does what it's suppose to do."
"All-flash has been the most innovative way of using storage based on the 3PAR platform."
"We also use dynamic optimization to go between tiers."
"This is a stable solution."
"The InfoSight feature helps us with troubleshooting problems in our environment."
"The overall quality of the product is fantastic. Advanced Optimization is one of the best features I never thought I needed until I actually used it and saw it in action."
"The most valuable features for me are the simple management of the platform and its performance."
"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."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"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."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"The number of Filesystems is limited, which it is not on the EMC VNX."
"I feel like there is too much automation; the user doesn't have any manual input."
"The time-to-market could be better at times, but I think that's true for all vendors of hardware."
"There are a lot of things to improve."
"Its price could be cheaper. It is not the cheapest one out there, but I'm not directly involved in the figures and negotiations."
"In the next release, I would like to see faster upgrades, where it's really transparent to our host and our end-users."
"HPE gives you how to get everything going, but it would be nice if they could go a little deeper sometimes. That is always the case: To get the value-add, you have to pay for those services."
"The tool needs improvement in the utilization report at the granular level."
"We are waiting for compression."
"3PAR did not increase our performance, and it has increased our latency by at least double."
"We would like to see the ability to not only be integrated with hybrid IT, but on-prem."
"It's a little bit difficult to figure out where the capacity is used. There is deduplication that, of course, saves space, but it sometimes it's hard to find out where the space is used. If you delete something, do you get it back? So it's not very transparent regarding capacity."
"I think cloud integration would probably be the biggest part, because that's where everyone is going and the seamless integration between on-premise and cloud is an important part of any IT strategy today."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"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 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."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"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."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"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."
