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."Very efficient storage"
"It has been very stable. I have not seen or heard of downtime storage issues after moving over to it."
"It helps to simplify storage because it has an easy front-end to access everything."
"It is easy to deploy and it's all-flash, so it's very fast."
"I find two features of Pure Storage most valuable. The first is the "safe mode" function, and the second is its simplicity."
"The speed is one of the most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray."
"The first set up we had was really straight forward and simple."
"Its array houses our entire production environment."
"Good performance because it's an all-flash system. Basically, our applications run faster."
"Its performance is good. We have a lot of applications that have high I/O, and 3PAR handles those with no problem."
"It has helped with more than just serving data, but also with recovery."
"It provides very fast deployment. The performance for our most critical applications is very quick."
"The speed is very good."
"Scalability, because our customer is fast growing and our solution should be able to start very small and grow very quickly."
"It has improved uptime, as well as speed to delivery."
"I like the integration with VMware and the provisioning. We also use data compression but not for any of the critical applications."
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"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."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly."
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"With scalability, I have run into a little problem with our last upgrade. There were some undocumented limitations to the number of drives that our controller could run on. So, instead of putting in a new data pack as we had anticipated, we had to keep adding and removing to get up to the capacity that we needed to be. What should have been a one day process (or a few hours) turned into a month and a half process."
"I would like to have support available in Spanish."
"I would like to see a Nagios monitoring plugin which watches the health and performance of the system. The only one available just checks volume capacity."
"The setup needs to be improved the most. They can do a little more with the user interface, but the setup is what I would like to see made a bit easier."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve in the area of cryptographic information in the consoles. The user-friendliness could improve. The Pure Storage FlashArray team should come and log into the system with their maintenance credentials and then pull out the information as evidence of cryptography."
"The price of this solution could be improved."
"The GUI could improve, it could be more intuitive. There is hidden functionality."
"The solution could improve by having a multi-tenant feature."
"This solution should be easier to use."
"We have had some bad issues on stability."
"The initial setup was complex, due to calculating the amount of performance that we needed for the floor."
"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."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"A lot of tasks, you have to manually set up. They need to already have them set up and working. Then, you can just go in and tweak them if you need to."
"The price of this solution should be lower."
"I give it an eight because of the support, that I can't get support in my country. This is the worst part. Support cannot be sold until we are out of the sanctions."
"More cloud integration."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"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."
"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."
"Their current replication is really just enough to "check the box" that they do replication. We'll probably implement Actifio, Zerto or EMC RecoverPoint for VMs for more critical data replication."
"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."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
