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 it never goes down. We can expand and create volumes."
"The most valuable feature is its upgradeability."
"Lone segmentation is simpler and more agile. It's improved the velocity in overall provisioning from project to operation."
"It gives us capacity planning."
"It's just very easy for general block storage."
"For us, the most valuable feature is the compression and deduplication. Being able to deploy a three to one ratio for storage is absolutely critical in today's world with the growing need for storage and the growing need for more space."
"Simplicity and reliability are the most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray."
"The initial setup was really straight forward."
"It is a stable solution."
"I benefit from the HPE Call Home feature. It tells me about any issue once I have it."
"It's a really stable solution. We have no problems with the customer, no negative feedback from them on this."
"It is fast and stable. It is really helping us a lot in terms of data store, etc."
"We deployed 3PAR in the national and international markets. It's not bad, the solution."
"After being properly configured, it has been a very stable product."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ is an enterprise storage that is mainly deployed in enterprise scenarios like banking and insurance."
"It provides very fast deployment. The performance for our most critical applications is very quick."
"Among the most valuable features are its granular replication, the ability to define asynchronous or synchronous replication, which gives us very definable RTOs and RPOs around that type of service, and granular quality-of-service configuration, which allows for cases where you've got multiple customers on a single Tintri, but you want to be able to offer strong quality-of-service metrics and KPIs."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production."
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"It was a little costly. The price was ultimately higher than both of the other solutions that we evaluated. I'd say that's the only downside."
"The solution is not cheap."
"The connectivity needs improvement. You do not have the possibility to have a file and block connectivity at the same time on the same machine. It has limited ability to do so."
"I would like to see more detailed reporting on the data. However, it would be nice to know what are the exact VMs usage after deduplication and/or what that VMs actual latency and bandwidth is, outside of VMware."
"Going forward, don't complicate things for the customers."
"The price could be better."
"I would like a feature to integrate with external or cloud solutions. For example, if I want to use this storage for a backup from the cloud, I want to have integration with the cloud vendors, such as Microsoft, Oracles, or Amazon. It could be available as an API to allow seamless integration. Additionally, the solution could improve by having native integration with a cloud provider, such as VMware or Microsoft, this would reduce the need to use third-party solutions to complete the task."
"Areas for improvement would be the financial operations. In the next release, I would like to see a NAS protocol included."
"HPE could improve by making an old flash system in order to compete with the current market. For the solution to be more competitive in the mid-range market they could increase the performance."
"HPE has a product that I am very interested in, but it lacks of integration with 3PAR - HPE SimpliVity."
"We would like to see dedupe and compression allowed on all drive types."
"In new releases, I'd really like to see it more targeted towards hyper-converged. They are working that way with Greenlake and integrating their own "build your own" expansion environment within 3PAR."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"I would like to see a little bit more integration from a cloud perspective. In this way, I would have some more flexibility to do more with data, how to store it, and where I have it."
"This solution should be easier to use."
"The management interface is not intuitive."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"Their support staff just doesn't have the experience with all of the products that we're running. They don't know the 850 series like we do because it's five years old. There is a little bit of a gap, and that may just be because we're an old customer running on platforms that their staff hasn't seen. I would like to see an improvement in their in-depth knowledge of their older products."
"More cloud integration."
"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."
"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."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
