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 support team is available all the time and they seem to know what they are doing."
"Technical support is excellent. I've had very good responses from technical support. We had a couple of cases where we needed support. Some of the communications were purely over email and some has been an actual call to the service desk."
"The performance is very good."
"It has made working with storage as easy and simple as it should be."
"Pure Storage FlashArray has significantly improved our data center performance. It handles high workloads efficiently, providing better performance in the environment. With increased storage capacity, it has led to improved overall system performance. The tool's technology is a standout feature. It has helped me reduce storage costs by 15 percent."
"The most valuable feature is its upgradeability."
"The stability is perfect. The reliability is 100% and the latency is always lower than 1 millisecond."
"It reduces space and the polar consumption. It also accelerates the application."
"With our 3PARs, we have never lost data."
"Multi-tier storage was the primary reason that we bought it. I also love the interface that you use for administering it."
"The reliability. We're able to replicate our array to our DR site with minimal work. It's just turn it on and we're ready to go. It reduces risk for the business."
"It is easy to scale, easy to manage, and easy to configure."
"It has been very stable. We've had very minor issues, but I've loved how HPE is proactive on letting us know. Usually, they let us know before we notice it ourselves and they already have a solution for us. It has been great that way."
"It allows us to cohost as needed. We are able to put more systems on one data storage system and it is still able to deliver the availability and speed that we need it to deliver."
"I have a lot of applications that need higher IOPS, and 3PAR achieves this operation normally without any issues for the management."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"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 a set and forget environment with a very good tooling to view performance and delivers the IOPS we need for our VDI environment."
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"The number of Filesystems is limited, which it is not on the EMC VNX."
"The file functionality could be better."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"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 integration capabilities could be improved."
"Most of our upgrades have not been as smooth as they should have been."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see automated copy data management for SQL Server."
"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."
"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."
"We do not use Memory-Driven Flash in the old 3PAR. Perhaps we will use it in the new 3PAR. That is part of the reason why we are upgrading."
"The performance of the solution is not good anymore and the software is different from all the other types and is not compatible. There are more negative things at this moment than positive. This is why we are removing them all from our organization this year."
"The interface could be improved to match the system."
"I would like to have more details on alerting. It is not real granular right now. What It gives you is sort of basic, and we can't do a lot of tweaking on our own. We would like to be able to tweak some of the alerts for our team."
"We have had some challenges in the Arabic implementation and in migration, but for daily work, it's fine."
"The solution’s customer support could be improved."
"We need longer names for our volumes. Now it's only 28 characters. It should be 64, or at least more than 32 characters."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"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."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"On the software side, I suggest adding integration with backups software like CommVault Simpana or Veeam where these products can integrate with the array and trigger things like snapshots for backup, etc."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
