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."I have seen a huge increase in speed and performance on our databases."
"The code upgrades are very smooth."
"Pure is simple to set up and manage on a day-to-day basis."
"The first set up we had was really straight forward and simple."
"We like the data reduction rates. That has been really helpful. You get 4U of Pure storage replacing something like two racks of spinning disks. One of the things that has contributed to that are the data reduction rates."
"It gives us capacity planning."
"It worked flawlessly."
"Very stable; no worries about how much it can handle."
"Provides High-Availability, security, and high performance"
"We went to an Active-Active data center, set it up to where both data centers are separate, but they act as one. We can have workloads at either side at any given time, and it is all based on the Peer Persistence architecture."
"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 technical support is good."
"The product stands on its own in heavy enterprise environments."
"The product lasts a very long time without having to be replaced. It's had a very long life."
"If it runs, and you don't know about it, that is the best thing that you can have in IT infrastructure. This is what 3PAR does for us."
"It has helped with more than just serving data, but also with recovery."
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"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."
"It would be nice to have a better view of the allocated capacity on their Platform as a Service solution because we have to do some manual calculations to understand how much we are going to pay every month to use the storage that is allocated."
"We would like more extended historical data to help with some of the capacity planning. This is something that we are asking for all the time. E.g., what was the historical performance of this particular volume? So, we would like more historicals."
"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."
"Data reduction is an area that needs improvement. There is a garbage collection service that runs but during that time, system utilization increases."
"They should work on their upgrades, they're not smooth."
"They are doing some stuff with containers and an object search. These could be improved, because containers is one of the main topics that we are talking with our customers about."
"The price of this solution could be improved."
"An area of improvement for this solution is an increase in the bandwidth as well as an upgrade of the storage functionality and capabilities. The storage needs to be expandable for future-proofing."
"We would like to see dedupe and compression allowed on all drive types."
"They should add AI-enabled dashboards to the solution."
"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."
"The GUI was a little hard to figure out how to use."
"The replicating software is pretty complicated. I probably would have put it on a sequence."
"I would like to see more flexibility with the cloud. I've actually just been in a presentation about it, here at HPE Discover 2018, so those features are coming."
"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."
"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 would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"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."
"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."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"More cloud integration."
