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."Access speed and power consumption are most valuable."
"It is always out of the box, and ready to use."
"The availability and ease of use are the big features."
"The support team is available all the time and they seem to know what they are doing."
"We have tons of capacity on it."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. You simply plug it in and turn it on."
"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."
"The scalability is good."
"This is a stable solution."
"I like that 3PAR can remake the disk online. That's one of the best features because when we first started, that was the best. The team provisioning feature was also a good one. Those features are the best for me, provisioning and online optimization, and the tier you can have for storage."
"The most valuable feature for me is the solution's availability."
"The all-flash positions our organization for growth. If somebody comes to us who needs an application with performance, we have that already formulated."
"The stability is what we consider to be the best feature it provides. The stability of this solution is what conquers us, every day."
"So far, we have yet to have a disk fail on either system, other than one I forced to fail when we first got the system in. So the reliability of the 3PAR system has been outstanding."
"Scalability is incredible. We have a single server cabinet today, but we can grow it to as many cabinets as we need."
"The product stands on its own in heavy enterprise environments."
"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."
"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."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"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."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"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."
"We would like to be able to connect to data tape for backup, specifically to the LTO backups."
"Storage. There could be better storage."
"The GUI could improve, it could be more intuitive. There is hidden functionality."
"The system has dual controllers but does not have a high level of resiliency built-in."
"It would be nice to have a better view of the allocated capacity on their Platform as a Service solution because we have to do some manual calculations to understand how much we are going to pay every month to use the storage that is allocated."
"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."
"Had some issues with Purity not being entirely compatible with VMware ESXi."
"It's too early to tell if we've seen a reduction in total cost of ownership. The solution is expensive."
"The solution’s customer support could be improved."
"This product has come to the end of its lifecycle."
"The solution lacks reliability."
"We need longer names for our volumes. Now it's only 28 characters. It should be 64, or at least more than 32 characters."
"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."
"Upgrades on them are a bit tricky. For us to do a head swap on one is a full outer joiner storage frame, which is obviously not that easy to do in a production environment."
"3PAR has StoreOnce and replication. I would like it if they worked together. Or, if I had Nimble and put that either in DR or a primary cohesive management, but still use the cool features of 3PAR, that would be awesome."
"This solution only provides active-passive replication, as opposed to active-active."
"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."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"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."
"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 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."
