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 best feature is consistently lower latency, even when IOPS crank up to over 75K. The product maintains submillisecond response time, which is incredible."
"Processes that used to take 40 minutes to two hours can be completed in five minutes."
"I like the speed, and I like the API and how programmable it is."
"One of the lesser sung advantages was when we started running our interface engine on Pure Storage. The ability to process messages and pass them through in our organization skyrocketed purely because of a disk that I owned which we were getting out of Pure Storage."
"Access speed and power consumption are most valuable."
"The data reduction technology part of the scalability has been impressive, like its ability to host additional workloads, volumes of data, and databases."
"The ease of use. That's what our customers love. They say it's very easy, they don't need special training, they don't need to call us or any other company or integrator to help them do their job. That's the main reason they purchase Pure."
"The tool is simple and easy to use. It has neat features like protection from device removal. Moreover, you can undo the deletes. The solution is easy to work with and not as complicated as CAC"
"After being properly configured, it has been a very stable product."
"The remote copy group failover is very useful and has helped us."
"The most valuable features for me are the simple management of the platform and its performance."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is fast and stable. It is really helping us a lot in terms of data store, etc."
"We use all the features, but some of the most valuable are the replication, priority optimization, provisioning, and deduplication. There are a lot of good features in this product."
"We deployed 3PAR in the national and international markets. It's not bad, the solution."
"The most valuable feature when we purchased it was that it was a four-node system."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly."
"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 ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"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 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."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"We would like to see more development on their Copy Automation Tool (CAT) for Oracle, as well as better integration for our customers running Oracle VM."
"As partners, we should have the option to download the software, rather than have to go back through Pure to obtain it."
"There are a lot of things to improve."
"I would love for them to have a hyper-converged solution."
"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 interface could be improved to match the system."
"In new releases, I'd really like to see it more targeted towards hyper-converged. They are working that way with Greenlake and integrating their own "build your own" expansion environment within 3PAR."
"I think cloud integration would probably be the biggest part, because that's where everyone is going and the seamless integration between on-premise and cloud is an important part of any IT strategy today."
"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."
"I would like to see more virtualization: storage virtualization, data virtualization would be very nice."
"HP has several integration elements that work with other vendor storage products. I'd like to see a greater expansion on that so that a customer can do a more seamless migration from other vendor products."
"It's a little bit difficult to figure out where the capacity is used. There is deduplication that, of course, saves space, but it sometimes it's hard to find out where the space is used. If you delete something, do you get it back? So it's not very transparent regarding capacity."
"This solution only provides active-passive replication, as opposed to active-active."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"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 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 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."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"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."
"More cloud integration."
"The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
