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 first set up we had was really straight forward and simple."
"Support has been helpful."
"It is an SSD array that has awesome performance, low submillisecond latency, and does what it is supposed to do. It just works, which is difficult for things to do anymore."
"The management is simple in Pure Storage FlashArray."
"Pure Storage technology allowed us to automate tasks, reducing something which started as a 12-hour turnaround down to about 15 minutes."
"Pure is simple to set up and manage on a day-to-day basis."
"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 stability is perfect. The reliability is 100% and the latency is always lower than 1 millisecond."
"It works well and we don't have any issues with this solution."
"They provide very good support for our mission-critical processes."
"This is a stable solution."
"For virtualization, the failure rate is much less compared to traditional storage where you need more hard drives"
"They are using Ansible to automate the provisioning, so that simplifies the day-to-day operations."
"We do not have to take the whole system down to do upgrades."
"This system has been (by far) the easiest to use, manage, and expand."
"Whatever failures you have, there is no single point of failure. So, any failure, you get an alert, you have time, you plan the fix, the replacement, and so on. So your operations are intact."
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"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."
"We love the real-time replication, ease of use when connecting our servers to the storage, and the level of redundancy inside the box... It's also simple software and integrates well with VMware so we get a lot of information about all of the VMs, how they're performing individually, and about network latency. That's very helpful when you're troubleshooting a slowdown."
"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"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."
"Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly."
"The ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"I would like to see them lower the costs."
"We would like to see more development on their Copy Automation Tool (CAT) for Oracle, as well as better integration for our customers running Oracle VM."
"Pure Storage will have issues with positioning in the near future since its a relatively new company. For now, customers need a PoC to trust using the solution, as it can't stand on its brand name alone. They need to improve Pure Storage's marketing."
"I would like to get a weekly report of how our storage has been used, and if there is any storage sitting there not being used."
"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."
"In the next release of the solution I would like to see Vormetric native block encryption."
"The solution is not cheap."
"The number of Filesystems is limited, which it is not on the EMC VNX."
"It is suitable for medium-sized businesses and data centers with less number of users and less important data. It is not really an enterprise-level solution. It needs more capacity. It is also not really stable. It should be more stable. It should also support any server model. It is really weak in this area."
"They should add AI-enabled dashboards to the solution."
"I would like to see a little better integration with OneView and provisioning ESX Hosts."
"The replicating software is pretty complicated. I probably would have put it on a sequence."
"We would like to see better support for iSCSI."
"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."
"Here in Algeria, we are facing a lot of trouble finding partners and getting support from HPE. There should be better support here in our country."
"The initial setup was pretty complex. There were a lot of different things that had to happen which was the reason why they had to send out the HPE engineers to help us."
"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."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"More cloud integration."
"What I feel would be nice, in terms of a wishlist, is scalability. Rather than replacing the whole appliance, I would like to be able to just add another unit and scale it like that."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"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."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
