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."Its array houses our entire production environment."
"Redundancy and the fault tolerance of the platform are the most impressive."
"The technical support is very good."
"Pure is simple to set up and manage on a day-to-day basis."
"We like the speed. It's very low latency. In virtualization, you can mask lots of problems, and even in code you can mask lots of problems, with low latency. It's just pure speed and low latency."
"Provides fast access and is user-friendly."
"The management features are well organized and they have a very good dashboard."
"The deduplication and compression rates are beyond impressive."
"We have been able to scale faster and get our applications out in much less time. We don't need to worry about the platform's ability to manage the workload, so we are pretty happy."
"The product has definitely improved throughput. We are able to more efficiently see patients because all of our medical records and practice management software seems to run faster. Uploading images and charts is a lot faster. Recalling information in the exam rooms is faster. The overall throughput of data, going back and forth, is so we can more efficiently see patients, and it also helps increase our patient flow. We can see patients a lot faster, getting them in and out a lot more quickly."
"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."
"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."
"It works well and we don't have any issues with this solution."
"HPE can login, fix things, alert us to things, and upgrade. We are there and aware, but we do not do the work. So, that is good."
"The deduplication is pretty impressive because it will shrink. We also do some clones in addition to the snapshots, where we can have multiple clones. These reduce the actual written storage by as much as 50 percent."
"It's reliable and it's fast."
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"Its performance is amazing. Since I have put Tintri in, I haven't had a complaint from anybody about slowness. On top of that, there is block-level cloning and the ability to spin up VMs."
"I would like to have an easy way to determine the cost per VM so that I can present a solution to our customers."
"A minor issue that comes to mind is that, every once in a while, a hard drive will go bad."
"Pricing could be better in comparison to other solutions."
"As long as they always improve on IOPS speed, that's all we're really looking for. The faster the storage can be the more we can do speed of application and speed of use."
"The only time that we had problems with it was that there was a bug in the VVol implementation but, outside of that, it has been flawless."
"One thing I'd like to see in a future release is integration between their main storage array and what they call their FlashBlade product; to be able to snapshot directly from the primary array into multiple different backup copies on FlashBlade."
"We haven't seen ROI yet."
"It's too early to tell if we've seen a reduction in total cost of ownership. The solution is expensive."
"I would like to see more cloud-based integrations and more file storage capabilities."
"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."
"The cloud-based monitoring Infosight would be better if users are automatically enrolled in the cloud/group based on the configuration or information gathered or uploaded on the internet."
"There are issues formulating the upgraded disk."
"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."
"Feature-wise, with the InfoSight additions, there is a lot of the stuff missing in the intelligent interface. As they grow and push, a lot of it will not tie into Hyper-V."
"We would like to see the ability to not only be integrated with hybrid IT, but on-prem."
"The Unified Multiprotocol Access to the storage array needs to be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"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."
"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."
