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."
"We are very happy with the data deduplication and compression ratio that we have on the platform."
"I never have to worry about its performance or if it is the root cause of an issue."
"The scalability options are very nice because you can scale it much better and faster. The scalability was there in the previous environment also, but this is far better than what we had before. It basically helps the user in case they are looking for more storage. We can scale it much faster."
"It does efficient work of storing data while still delivering the performance that you would normally expect from a higher priced solution."
"The most valuable feature is how it simplifies the management of the SAN."
"The performance of the storage is just unbelievable."
"The deduplication and compression rates are beyond impressive."
"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."
"We like something called Virtual Volumes and how we can do thin provisioning."
"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."
"There are a lot of screens for easy management where you can change some settings. But after a few years, the important settings were better after an upgrade, and all the vendors have other ways to upgrade their systems."
"With the support that our organization has, I can talk to someone right away if I have an issue. It has been very good."
"The most valuable feature when we purchased it was that it was a four-node system."
"It's a really stable solution. We have no problems with the customer, no negative feedback from them on this."
"We're hosting virtual infrastructure on the 3PAR storage and it's been very good for that."
"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."
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"The ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"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."
"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production."
"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 most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"Historical analytics would be useful. At the moment, they don't have any type of application built for historical analytics."
"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."
"Its price needs improvement. Its price is almost double than any other flash storage solution."
"I recognize it's a difficult challenge, but I would like to see them make the pricing more reasonable."
"It would be good to have metrics of the box's performance so we can see what it delivers, but currently, I can't see what it's actually doing."
"It was a little costly. The price was ultimately higher than both of the other solutions that we evaluated. I'd say that's the only downside."
"The number of Filesystems is limited, which it is not on the EMC VNX."
"The one major gripe I have is that there is no snapshotting enabled by default on the SAN."
"There are some weird things that we can't figure out."
"In the next release, I would like to see faster upgrades, where it's really transparent to our host and our end-users."
"It is suitable for medium-sized businesses and data centers with less number of users and less important data. It is not really an enterprise-level solution. It needs more capacity. It is also not really stable. It should be more stable. It should also support any server model. It is really weak in this area."
"I would like to see compatibility with NVMe."
"The performance of the solution is not good anymore and the software is different from all the other types and is not compatible. There are more negative things at this moment than positive. This is why we are removing them all from our organization this year."
"The onsite techs have caused outages."
"I would like to see more storage, a better interface, and to move from mechanical disks."
"With 3PAR, there is remote copy software which isn't very good."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"The biggest area for improvement, and there has been some roadmap work in this area already, is cloud integration... Tintri has been investing in this area and I'm sure will continue to, but cloud integration has been the biggest area that we've been crossing our fingers and hoping for quick development around."
"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."
"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."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
