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 GUI is very easy to use and intuitive."
"It simplifies building out the storage."
"We were actually able to do multiple upgrades, including head upgrades and moving between the platforms, M20 and M50, over the years. We have never once lost a ping and have never had an outage due to an OS upgrade or a complete head upgrade."
"We have seen savings in our storage. The speed of deployment has gone from several days to a few minutes. This product has reduced that time into minutes, simplifying storage for us."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is the all-flash storage performance, low latency, and efficiency of their de-duplication technology. Additionally, the ease of use is good compared to other storage systems. The features in data protection, snapshotting, and replication between data centers and sites are superior to other solutions."
"The first set up we had was really straight forward and simple."
"Before we used Pure Storage it took 93 days of employees who run the database to back up and restore databases. The scale of deployment basically went from several days to a few minutes."
"The most valuable feature of the Pure Storage Flash Array is the blazing fast monitoring."
"If there is a problem then the HPE facility will detect it and immediately contact me."
"Thanks to HPE remote IT assistance, they can do the updates with the configuration in best-case scenario."
"It all works in concert using Recovery Manager Central (RMC). HPE coordinates it all, so it is more of a solution instead of products trying to do things together."
"We like something called Virtual Volumes and how we can do thin provisioning."
"With the new flash arrays, 3PAR has improved our performance."
"The solution is easy to use and very stable."
"The solution fetches quick responses in milliseconds which can be within 40-50 milliseconds."
"It is fast and stable. It is really helping us a lot in terms of data store, etc."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"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 most valuable feature is the VM management."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"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."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"A minor issue that comes to mind is that, every once in a while, a hard drive will go bad."
"In the next release I would like to see integration into other third-party player providers like Google."
"I would like to see more cloud integration."
"The GUI could improve, it could be more intuitive. There is hidden functionality."
"When we were doing some tests, we found that there was an I/O freeze when they were switching the controller."
"I would like to see the NAS add-on component become more fault-tolerant than just a single virtual machine running inside the array. I'm unwilling to use it for that reason."
"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."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"This solution is now at end-of-life."
"...sizing is everything. If you don't do the sizing right and you don't understand every detail of the product, how it works, you can be in a very unpleasant situation when you pay half a million dollars and you have a product that does not work as you expected."
"HPE gives you how to get everything going, but it would be nice if they could go a little deeper sometimes. That is always the case: To get the value-add, you have to pay for those services."
"The interface could be improved to match the system."
"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."
"With 3PAR, there is remote copy software which isn't very good."
"Would like to see some management functions through a web interface."
"It would also help if they integrate current technologies, newer technologies, and more efficient technologies, as time progresses. For example, integrate the fourth level of NAND devices."
"The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
"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 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."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"More cloud integration."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"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."
