We performed a comparison between HPE StoreOnce 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."It is easy to manage. You don't have to have the same people who used to manage the Dell EMC arrays because the solution is more intuitive."
"The first set up we had was really straight forward and simple."
"It simplifies storage."
"The management features are well organized and they have a very good dashboard."
"The deduplication and compression meet all of our system requirements."
"It helps to simplify storage because it has an easy front-end to access everything."
"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."
"The valuable feature is the ability to work with the Veeam software to reduce the backup windows."
"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"If you have a large enough storage capacity then you can take an ample amount of data."
"We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"The hardware is strong and all the equipment has a good infrastructure. Personally, I think it's the best storage product in HPE for small to medium-sized businesses."
"I'm impressed with their support structure, call availability, understanding, flexibility in scheduling remote sessions, and accommodating customer timeframes."
"HPE StoreOnce works well, it is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"It’s very good at IOPS."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"I would like a feature to integrate with external or cloud solutions. For example, if I want to use this storage for a backup from the cloud, I want to have integration with the cloud vendors, such as Microsoft, Oracles, or Amazon. It could be available as an API to allow seamless integration. Additionally, the solution could improve by having native integration with a cloud provider, such as VMware or Microsoft, this would reduce the need to use third-party solutions to complete the task."
"We understand that they're thinking about it, but one of the things that would be nice is if they added some basic file-level capabilities to the platform. The idea is that they would run a basic NFS or CIF share from the controllers. FlashBlade is the powerhouse for File and Object storage, but if you don't need all that power, a lightweight file function would make FlashArrays more versatile."
"Part of our company works on Dell EMC because Pure Storage did not have synchronous applications when we were purchasing our products."
"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."
"We would like to see more development on their Copy Automation Tool (CAT) for Oracle, as well as better integration for our customers running Oracle VM."
"If they could make it cheaper, that would be something."
"The solution could improve by having a multi-tenant feature."
"Self-backup is the only feature lacking in this solution."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"Its customer service could be faster."
"improvement? HPE StoreOnce has a limitation with respect to controllers. Other tools offer more than one controller. I feel that the high availability of the view controller should be redundant. The tool’s control and UI part should be improved and made more advanced. The feature that helps with the manual movement of tapes should also be improved."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed."
"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"We're outsourced with a partner who recalls a larger amount of problems with the stability of the product."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"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."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"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 Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
