We performed a comparison between HPE Primera 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 solution offers amazing performance."
"The availability and ease of use are the big features."
"We consume less physical storage because of the solution’s deduplication and compression."
"The mobile app is very helpful."
"It worked flawlessly."
"The support team is available all the time and they seem to know what they are doing."
"We find the ease of usability and setup valuable."
"Pure Storage FlashArray has significantly improved our data center performance. It handles high workloads efficiently, providing better performance in the environment. With increased storage capacity, it has led to improved overall system performance. The tool's technology is a standout feature. It has helped me reduce storage costs by 15 percent."
"The most valuable feature of HP Primera is that you don't have to buy an additional product for application replication. It's a stable product. The tool is scalable. I recommend HPE Primera because it's one of HP's most stable product."
"HPE provides good support through their customer service."
"The interface is simplified."
"Our customers have given very positive feedback about InfoSign, which is the management software for this solution."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"For over a year, I have not seen any downtime in the product."
"The most valuable feature of HPE Primera is its performance and simple replication."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"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."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"The credentials on the iSCSI interface are only available to type in with the Chrome browser, and not with the Firefox browser."
"In the configuration, which we brought in or tested it in, it has a very limited config as far as the array goes. That said, it still did more than our anticipation."
"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."
"I would like to see some improvements on the FlashBlade side around the CIFS space support. I am not super familiar with all the different NAS protocols that they run on their box, but there could be some improvements made on SMB CIFS side."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"On a couple of occasions, the waiting time for an upgrade has been pretty substantial."
"I would like to see them develop the ability to integrate with more AWS services. There are increasingly more and more services coming out from AWS but there are also certain constraints where we can't move everything over to a cloud as well. We would like for things that are on-premise to be easily integrated with AWS."
"As long as they always improve on IOPS speed, that's all we're really looking for. The faster the storage can be the more we can do speed of application and speed of use."
"This solution would be expensive for small business and it could be priced more competitively for that market."
"Only HPE can manage the product."
"The initial setup is not straightforward."
"We would like to have more flash storage and its stability. This is an area of challenge for us."
"The solution has good performance but it could improve further."
"HPE Primera's deduplication area is not as good as the one offered by Dell PowerStore, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The reporting console can be improved with out of the box reports."
"The product’s price needs improvement."
"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."
"Tintri's Cloud Connector currently only goes to AWS and IBM Cloud, and we don't use either because we're Microsoft Silver Partners. It would be great to get the Cloud Connector feature with Azure. If it's not already on Tintri's roadmap, that's something I'd like to see."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"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."
"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."
