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 of the Pure Storage Flash Array is the blazing fast monitoring."
"The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are simplicity, ease of use, and dashboard management."
"The availability and ease of use are the big features."
"The job of support for the storage engineers dramatically changed. We know more quickly the automation of the provisioning. We can now focus on things that bring more value to the company than just managing storage."
"It's simple, powerful, and ready to use."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is replication."
"It comes with a large number of features out-of-the-box, which makes it easy for us to see problems and manage capacity."
"It is a really stable product. We have not had any major issues at the moment."
"Any action we want to do with a Dell EMC product needs a license. But with 3PAR's converged solution, at least there is no need to purchase more licenses to get the all the features that we need. We can get basic and mid-range features without licenses."
"I have a lot of applications that need higher IOPS, and 3PAR achieves this operation normally without any issues for the management."
"It's pretty stable and scalable. I think we've only had a couple of issues, three disk outages in six years."
"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."
"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 very good."
"The solution has helped our organization reduce time to deployment by about 60 to 70 percent, because I am able to spin up new systems within four to six hours, where it used to take me two to three days."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Performance, cost, and ease of storage management."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"The system has dual controllers but does not have a high level of resiliency built-in."
"The scalability of the solution is not as good as it probably could be."
"I'd like to see a move towards individual VMs for what the performance of each VM is in a VD infrastructure. I can see the overall volume, but I would love to see things in a more granular level on the VM side."
"The internal garbage collection process has been fixed recently in some OS updates so it is more efficient but that could be just a little better."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"The solution is not cheap."
"I would love for them to have a hyper-converged solution."
"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."
"Our support in the US has been phenomenal, no issues at all. But the European support was poor initially."
"The onsite techs have caused outages."
"The management interface is not intuitive."
"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."
"I would like to have support for On-The-fly reallocation Data when using VVoL."
"The main problem for 3PAR right now is cost."
"We are using a built-in solution in 3PAR. We are using All-Flash Storage, and there are some difficulties with it. HPE has now developed a new tool system to support All-Flash, and that's why we are changing our investment. They must increase its performance. I want unlimited support, which is very important for performance. I am not interested in spinning disks. HPE is developing new storage systems called Primera, but they must be developed more."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
"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'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."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"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."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"The biggest area for improvement, and there has been some roadmap work in this area already, is cloud integration... Tintri has been investing in this area and I'm sure will continue to, but cloud integration has been the biggest area that we've been crossing our fingers and hoping for quick development around."
