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 performance and the ever-growing maintenance are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The simplicity of it. The performance is good, but the simplicity is the best thing. Storage management is quite complex, but Pure Storage is easy to manage."
"It's extremely stable and has good performance."
"The most valuable feature is it never goes down. We can expand and create volumes."
"The scalability options are very nice because you can scale it much better and faster. The scalability was there in the previous environment also, but this is far better than what we had before. It basically helps the user in case they are looking for more storage. We can scale it much faster."
"It helps to simplify storage. For most of our customers, when they move to Pure Storage, storage becomes an afterthought."
"Pure is simple to set up and manage on a day-to-day basis."
"This solution has improved our organization. In the past, we had reports that were taking up to two hours and after switching to SSD storage the overall processing power dropped to half an hour. The end users saw an immediate performance gain."
"It provides very fast deployment. The performance for our most critical applications is very quick."
"This system has been (by far) the easiest to use, manage, and expand."
"It has improved the ability of the executives to get proper insights."
"The solution’s deduplication functionality works great. We are getting about a 16:1 dedupe ratio on our VM workloads."
"The technical support is very good."
"This solution has allowed for massive performance acceleration of all workloads and massively increased availability (with peer persistence/transparent failover feature)."
"Its snapshot capability is the most valuable feature, because replicate our databases from production to nonproduction for development. This allows us to do it very quickly."
"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."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production."
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"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."
"Tintri VMstore is rock solid. We have not had a single issue with stability. It is also very low maintenance allowing us to concentrate on project work."
"The problem is that we can only make a few groups, around five or six groups. I like groups and we need a lot of them. We had to put all the information in only a few groups and cannot make a more detailed separation of them."
"It is not possible to create a cluster on top of multiple arrays."
"I would love for them to have a hyper-converged solution."
"The 3PAR SSD arrays that we have are still failing a lot so even though we're under warranty, we still have to get someone out and usually have someone troubleshoot so that usually adds onto the cost. With Pure, we've had a disc fail and we pop it out and you pop it in and it's good to go."
"CIFS and SMB Shares cannot be mounted directly."
"It's not so scalable. It's got moderate scaling capabilities right now. The clustering technology needs a bit of work, they need to improve that."
"Pricing could be better in comparison to other solutions."
"A year ago they promised that they would be able to read through the database encryption with more metric and they have not delivered on that patch, which is significant because it gives us back so much more storage room. We want to be able to read through the encryption."
"The first array that they sent us was in some type of a factory mode. We didn't find that out until we loaded a bunch of data onto it, then we had to back it all off. We had to replace the array, which was sort of painful."
"I would like to see the ability to be able to migrate to newer versions of the 3PAR without having to take any of our data offline and be able to upgrade on the fly."
"I would like to see the reliability improve. While it has been a good product, the QA of the product could be done a little more thoroughly."
"The newer versions have some other characteristics that we are not using. We would like to use them and set them up in our current version."
"If HPE 3PAR could handle NAS and all things related to NAS, you would not need to have a mixture of different storages, storage boxes, one solution could fit all."
"We have had some bad issues on stability."
"Scalability and management could be improved."
"The solution could improve by being able to handle larger data."
"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."
"I would like it to have the ability to store data other than virtual machines. At the moment, you can only connect VMs to it, and that’s a bit disappointing."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
