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."It has good stability for our company."
"The initial setup was really straight forward."
"It simplifies the overall management. We don't have to worry about storage anymore."
"It's simple, powerful, and ready to use."
"Scalability is one of the best features. You can quickly add more. You can swap out the drives with larger sizes, you can add more shelves. All of that is perfect - the whole concept of keeping it modular..."
"I like the speed, and I like the API and how programmable it is."
"It is all-flash. This makes it a lot faster than the rest of what we have, as it is able to drive high I/O loads, which is big for us."
"They are quite responsive and our local team was pretty good."
"When we started using 3PAR what we liked was the simplicity of the product. We needed a higher performance storage and, in our support model, we needed to keep the simplicity of the storage architecture, keep it as clean and as manageable as we could."
"Their support is the most valuable. The support that we are getting from HP Turkey is very good. This product is better than some of the other products in terms of reliability. It is very reliable."
"Tech support is great, and that is for any of their team who has ever worked with us. They are willing and committed to making sure the customer is treated the way we need to be."
"With the HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity, we can grow as required."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features are their tight integration with VMware, their multi-node architecture, and their copy services, such as Peer Persistence."
"I have a lot of applications that need higher IOPS, and 3PAR achieves this operation normally without any issues for the management."
"With our 3PARs, we have never lost data."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful."
"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."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"It’s very good at IOPS."
"I would like to see more cloud integration."
"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."
"The connectivity needs improvement. You do not have the possibility to have a file and block connectivity at the same time on the same machine. It has limited ability to do so."
"We would like to be able to connect to data tape for backup, specifically to the LTO backups."
"Pure Storage support could be a little better."
"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."
"On a couple of occasions, the waiting time for an upgrade has been pretty substantial."
"It was not proactive communication."
"The setup was complex from the perspective of the employees having to go through five days of training. If they simplified the administrative process of maintaining the unit, that would go a long way."
"Its price is a bit high for adding another tree."
"I need flexibility for interoperability across multiple platforms, not just HPE."
"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 interface could be improved to match the system."
"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."
"This solution is now at end-of-life."
"As long as they can keep the solution stable, it will be good. Stability is very important to us."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support is an area where we had several issues, and it was hard to get some support in a specific case we had. I'm not very satisfied with them."
"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."
"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."
