We performed a comparison between Dell PowerStore and Tintri VMstore T7000 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 most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"The most valuable features of Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its superior performance compared to other flash tiers, as well as its ease of use, with an intuitive user interface that is simple to deploy and use."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its ease of use and performance."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"It is very easy to install and configure. It has got excellent diagnostics. If you really need to see how the box is performing, the console gives you a lot of information. You can set thresholds as well as alerts based on the thresholds, which is a very powerful functionality. They are very proactive. They know how to monitor and manage the systems. They see a problem, and they are all over it before us. They see the problem before we see it, which is very good."
"Migrations are very easy and fast."
"Pricing is very good. It's very competitive against those of all the others that I looked at in the marketplace, such as Hitachi, IBM, HP, and Pure. Dell is right there in the mix as far as providing the best price point as well as meeting the performance requirements that we have."
"It provides a big benefit when upgrading a new VMware environment. For example, in a big environment with 10 to 30 ESXs, you can take everything and put that into PowerStore. So, it is cost-effective, which is very important and has been massive for us. You reduce almost 80% from the hardware and work directly from PowerStore. Building hardware, especially in a big VMware environment, is a big issue for my organization."
"PowerStore is easy to use. All the drives use soft encryption. To upgrade it, you download the app, and it runs by itself. It's very easy to deploy, share, and create volumes."
"There is no complicated configuration for queries and calls. You just create a model and go."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerStore are the support for NVMe and SCM, which provides end-to-end performance and high IOPS, minimizing latency. It is a full-fledged storage solution."
"Currently, the features of replication and deduplication have been very important to us."
"It is a stable solution."
"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 management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production."
"We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"Every time I think of something that needs to improve, they're one step ahead, which I love. The only area I wish to see improve, I believe is coming, is in the FlashBlade product. Blade implementation fell short on a few of the services."
"If the customer only needs 500 terabytes and doesn't care how much data they'll put in the server, IBM is cheaper than Pure."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"We are happy with the service in general. The only thing would be the price of the platform."
"The pricing could be lower. It is very expensive."
"PowerStore's management console could be improved."
"The NAS part is very poor. It's very basic. Even Dell EMC has said that to us. We are waiting for version 3 of PowerStore for that. This must be improved and it is in the roadmap."
"Many customers are looking for a cyber recovery feature included in PowerStore. We would like to see this added in a future release."
"Data reduction needs improvement."
"Could be improved by including a synchronizing feature for the file systems."
"During the installation phase, the licensing part was not straightforward. It was very difficult for the technicians, who are not trained Dell EMC technicians, to do the licensing because the information on their website is not straightforward... Eventually, I had to pass this task to our business partner and they did it for us."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
"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."
"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."
"More cloud integration."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"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."
