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 speed of the Pure FlashArray is very, very fast and nothing in the market can compare to it."
"It has been very stable. I have not seen or heard of downtime storage issues after moving over to it."
"It has good stability for our company."
"The first set up we had was really straight forward and simple."
"Non-disruptive upgrades: You can upgrade at anytime without worry."
"Because of the encryption, we have different storage and the encryption can go over both."
"It helps us maintain uptime much better than other solutions we've used in the past, and the support is extremely quick and responsive."
"The solution helps to simplify storage."
"It is fast and stable. It is really helping us a lot in terms of data store, etc."
"It is a stable solution."
"It has helped with more than just serving data, but also with recovery."
"It is very easy to manage. I can provision disks and monitor the performance easily."
"We can do more, faster, whether it's spinning up more virtual machines or handling large amounts of data."
"The technical support is good."
"The predictive analytics, where we're getting notifications prior to a failure has been helpful."
"In the deployment of virtual servers, I can have a new VM up and running in 15 minutes, run the patches, then done. I routinely fire up base images that I have for my servers: Server 2008 R2, 2012 R2, and 2016. I routinely fire those base images up and do all the updates, then prep them again for cloning. With 3PAR, we definitely have the performance to do that. Those images I do keep on SSD just to have that performance to deploy a new VM."
"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 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."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"I can't see where they can make anything better, unless, of course, they lower their prices even more."
"The credentials on the iSCSI interface are only available to type in with the Chrome browser, and not with the Firefox browser."
"I would like to see data tiering to AWS."
"They could improve the price."
"The product should improve its response time. I have also encountered issues with its configuration."
"I’d love to view the average, minimum and maximum performance in the reports (Analysis tab - Performance) but it is only graphics and you need to export data in CSV to find this information."
"The primary drawback is the cost, which can be prohibitive for small configurations."
"Most of our upgrades have not been as smooth as they should have been."
"I would like to see more flexibility with the cloud. I've actually just been in a presentation about it, here at HPE Discover 2018, so those features are coming."
"The only drawback on it is that tech support seems really busy. We get a critical notification when an important patch comes out, but sometimes it's a month before we can get this critical piece on because they just don't have time on their schedules to do it sooner."
"This product has come to the end of its lifecycle."
"There are some weird things that we can't figure out."
"This solution only provides active-passive replication, as opposed to active-active."
"While the stability is pretty good, it could always be improved upon."
"I would like to see a little bit more integration from a cloud perspective. In this way, I would have some more flexibility to do more with data, how to store it, and where I have it."
"We are still waiting for the compression feature to be deployed."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"Their current replication is really just enough to "check the box" that they do replication. We'll probably implement Actifio, Zerto or EMC RecoverPoint for VMs for more critical data replication."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"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."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
