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."It has good stability for our company."
"The most valuable feature of the Pure Storage Flash Array is the blazing fast monitoring."
"The predictive performance analytics is a very good feature, as our system is performing better than before."
"We've been using FlashArray's snapshot for backups. Their replication across sites and response time are also excellent."
"The scalability is good."
"The most valuable feature is test performance. It helps us store large amounts of data along with providing us faster retrieval of data."
"This solution has improved our organization in the way that we used to see latency but now with this solution we don't. It also has good performance. Latencies have come down for our performance in the SQL databases. We can put a lot more in a lot less in terms of space savings. We also save data center space have good deduplication."
"Very stable; no worries about how much it can handle."
"I like the integration with VMware and the provisioning. We also use data compression but not for any of the critical applications."
"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."
"We have had it for about two years and had zero problems with it."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ is easy to use, fully featured and has a great graphical user interface."
"We can do more, faster, whether it's spinning up more virtual machines or handling large amounts of data."
"I found it easy to deploy and simple to configure the storage."
"The stability is what we consider to be the best feature it provides. The stability of this solution is what conquers us, every day."
"The intelligence around the solution is good."
"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."
"We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful."
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"The ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"The Deduplication feature in VDI environments. If Tintri says we can host 3000 VMs in our storage, I know we can host 3000 VMs there. Believe the results."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"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."
"It goes at about 95 percent, so we have had some performance issues. It is hard to clear them."
"The data reduction that we had initially anticipated when we bought Pure and we move over, is way lower than the expected reduction. It depends on the workloads, of course. But that has been a challenge at times."
"In the next release of the solution I would like to see Vormetric native block encryption."
"FlashArray's capacity for forecasting should be improved because it needs to be a bit more current. I think it's bundled with the deduplication and other compression factors. We need more user interfaces for forecasting in this software and more interfaces need to be integrated with this array management tool."
"The support for NFS protocols right out-of-the-box need improvement. I'm used to other storage vendors who have NFS support right out-of-the-box, and Pure Storage doesn't seem to have anything."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve the recent file storage capabilities because it is lacking a lot of features."
"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."
"The solution lacks reliability."
"Its price is a bit high for adding another tree."
"The solution’s customer support could be improved."
"I would like to see a little better integration with OneView and provisioning ESX Hosts."
"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."
"The management interface is not intuitive."
"There is a slight difference between what we expected and what was delivered."
"We have had some bad issues on stability."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"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."
"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."
"Speed of our VDI machines. We have a very high log in and log out ratio and machines are being refreshed instantly so we have a constant boot storm on our storage."
"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."
"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."
