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 most valuable feature is that maintenance is free."
"The simplicity of it. The performance is good, but the simplicity is the best thing. Storage management is quite complex, but Pure Storage is easy to manage."
"The solution helps to simplify storage."
"At this point, I don't know anything that they could provide in a better way."
"The most valuable feature is replication."
"It simplifies storage."
"It's reduced our overhead management time on storage, since it is so simple to get in and just provision a volume, present it to the host, and then you are done."
"The speed of the Pure FlashArray is very, very fast and nothing in the market can compare to it."
"Previously, we were using EVA from HPE. When we moved to 3PAR, we noticed a reduction in footprint, reduced by more than 30%. We use the Adaptive Optimization, giving us a reduction in cost and with better performance."
"From my perspective, it's really easy for me to be able to get in and do any troubleshooting with it and it's very consistent."
"The new StoreServ Management Console (SSMC) tool is more user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the native full mesh (multi-pathing)."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ has a good interface, it is user-friendly and easy to use."
"If there is a problem then the HPE facility will detect it and immediately contact me."
"It works well and we don't have any issues with this solution."
"It was straightforward, simple, and easy to set up, along with the OneView tools, for managing both compute and storage."
"Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"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 is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"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."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"I would like to see a Nagios monitoring plugin which watches the health and performance of the system. The only one available just checks volume capacity."
"We need to add more storage in Pure Storage FlashArray with the cluster mode activated for us to have better performance."
"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."
"A year ago they promised that they would be able to read through the database encryption with more metric and they have not delivered on that patch, which is significant because it gives us back so much more storage room. We want to be able to read through the encryption."
"They have a product, FlashBlade, which is their object storage integration, and that's something that we haven't integrated with yet. This might be an area for additional focus as it would play into scalability, because the very nature of object storage is that it's infinitely scalable."
"It's not so scalable. It's got moderate scaling capabilities right now. The clustering technology needs a bit of work, they need to improve that."
"Just some nit picky stuff, like allowing servers and volumes to be grouped. Therefore, it would easier to work with them in the GUI."
"CIFS and SMB Shares cannot be mounted directly."
"We would like to see dedupe and compression allowed on all drive types."
"It needs the addition of InfoSight, which is the most critical, along with predictive analytics and AI."
"We are seeing that there are some enhancements which are required in the SSMC console. There are some features that we do not see in the dashboard."
"The main problem for 3PAR right now is cost."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ is at its end of life and they are forcing us to purchase new hardware. They will no longer support this solution. They should provide support for a longer time. For example, 10 years instead of five years."
"Setting up 3PAR is somewhat complicated, and it took about a week."
"Scalability and management could be improved."
"There are issues formulating the upgraded disk."
"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."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"More cloud integration."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
