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."Most of the problems that we had in the past with the performance in IOPS have disappeared. It has been a great improvement for our customers' services."
"Technical support is excellent. I've had very good responses from technical support. We had a couple of cases where we needed support. Some of the communications were purely over email and some has been an actual call to the service desk."
"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."
"Provides fast access and is user-friendly."
"Scalability is one of the best features. You can quickly add more. You can swap out the drives with larger sizes, you can add more shelves. All of that is perfect - the whole concept of keeping it modular..."
"Because of the encryption, we have different storage and the encryption can go over both."
"The tool has reduced our power consumption."
"The most valuable features are the replication of data and the continuous snapshot that we can take from the disc."
"When we bought it, the big sell for us was what they called "wide striping", how they striped the data and could get performance on a cheaper disk. Nowadays, the newer models that are out, which we are going to in the next couple of years, the most valuable feature is mainly being able to achieve such high IOPS in such a small chassis."
"The solution is quite stable and scalable."
"It is reliable, and it seems like a solid product. It has been working well so far."
"Having moved over from a lefthand, which was seven or eight years old, there's a massive boost in performance. It has definitely improved the speed, the responsiveness, of all our applications."
"I am impressed with the product's online upgrades."
"It's advantageous in terms of the cost, in terms of the performance, and taking up less space."
"The solutions has increased our performance. We went from 24,000 IOPS to around 70,000 IOPS."
"The most valuable feature for me is the solution's availability."
"Performance, cost, and ease of storage management."
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"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."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"Tintri VMstore is rock solid. We have not had a single issue with stability. It is also very low maintenance allowing us to concentrate on project work."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"I would love for them to have a hyper-converged solution."
"I would rate this solution an eight. There's always room for improvement, nobody is perfect to get a ten out of ten. They do what they do well. It's not cheap but we it's for uses that we needed."
"Part of our company works on Dell EMC because Pure Storage did not have synchronous applications when we were purchasing our products."
"I would like to see data tiering to AWS."
"We need to add more storage in Pure Storage FlashArray with the cluster mode activated for us to have better performance."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"When we were doing some tests, we found that there was an I/O freeze when they were switching the controller."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"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."
"It would also help if they integrate current technologies, newer technologies, and more efficient technologies, as time progresses. For example, integrate the fourth level of NAND devices."
"The replicating software is pretty complicated. I probably would have put it on a sequence."
"The only drawback on it is that tech support seems really busy. We get a critical notification when an important patch comes out, but sometimes it's a month before we can get this critical piece on because they just don't have time on their schedules to do it sooner."
"During the initial setup, it was a bit complex in the wiring of the cages."
"3PAR has StoreOnce and replication. I would like it if they worked together. Or, if I had Nimble and put that either in DR or a primary cohesive management, but still use the cool features of 3PAR, that would be awesome."
"The configuration and flexibility should improve."
"We had a minor error when we were configuring this system, which initially detracted from its overall stability."
"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."
"I would like to be able to add more storage capacity to our 2 units down the road with out buying an additional seprate array."
"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 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 product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"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."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
