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."We've had different types of storage, and three things of this solution are valuable. The first one is its outstanding performance. The second one is its stability. In the about three years that we've had it, we've had component failures, but we never had a service interruption or any data loss. The third one, which is really critical, is that it is super easy to use in terms of provisioning, storage, and managing the arrays. I'm able to maintain a multi-site environment with a couple of dozen arrays with a single mid-level storage admin."
"I like the speed, and I like the API and how programmable it is."
"Has also helped simplify storage for us. The other person we put in there, took about a week to implement. And we had both arrays set up within around four hours with a thirty minute drive time between the two locations."
"The solution helps to simplify storage."
"The compression and deduplication features help to make the best use of the capacity."
"It's simple, powerful, and ready to use."
"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 deduplication in the array combined with its snap technologies allows the product to be remotely/manually controlled or scheduled."
"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."
"The most valuable feature when we purchased it was that it was a four-node system."
"You can have SSD drives, fast disk drives, and slower drives, redundancy between drives, and hot-swappable drives on the SSDs, the faster hard drives, and the slower drives."
"We're able to move things around with more agility. I can take it off one server and slap it on another in a couple of minutes... And the speed is outstanding."
"This is a stable solution."
"The solution, stability, and the performance work well for us."
"The overall quality of the product is fantastic. Advanced Optimization is one of the best features I never thought I needed until I actually used it and saw it in action."
"Stability is awesome. Its performance has been steady and it stays up."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"I like Tintri's Global Admin feature and the solution's performance. It's incredibly fast storage, which was a significant upgrade for us when we deployed it seven years ago. The Tintri snapshots are brilliant and incredibly reliable."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"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."
"There are scenarios with very specific functionality around VMware integration particularly to do with the way we'd like to manage LUNs in VMware. The tools are pretty good but there's room for improvement there."
"The scalability of the solution is not as good as it probably could be."
"I recognize it's a difficult challenge, but I would like to see them make the pricing more reasonable."
"The price could be better."
"The solution is not cheap."
"I feel like there is too much automation; the user doesn't have any manual input."
"Most of our upgrades have not been as smooth as they should have been."
"As partners, we should have the option to download the software, rather than have to go back through Pure to obtain it."
"Our support in the US has been phenomenal, no issues at all. But the European support was poor initially."
"Feature-wise, with the InfoSight additions, there is a lot of the stuff missing in the intelligent interface. As they grow and push, a lot of it will not tie into Hyper-V."
"Extending is not a problem, scalability is okay. But once you buy additional box of disks, you have to wait for HPE to contact you with their plan for implementation, for connecting, and it can take several weeks. So, you have the box and you have to wait for several weeks to actually implement it."
"Scalability and management could be improved."
"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."
"We would also like to see improvements to the ease of administration of 3PAR."
"The Unified Multiprotocol Access to the storage array needs to be improved."
"3PAR did not increase our performance, and it has increased our latency by at least double."
"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."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"I would like to be able to add more storage capacity to our 2 units down the road with out buying an additional seprate array."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
