We performed a comparison between Pure Storage FlashArray 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 duplication algorithm allows us to get a lot more use out of less storage. We're running a five terabyte array right now and we're running probably about 30 terabytes on it. So the duplication rate is pretty phenomenal, without a cost to performance. It still runs pretty smoothly."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"It's incredibly easy to use and greatly simplified our ability to both deploy and manage our storage subsystems."
"The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"The latency is good."
"It's helped us because we've changed fundamentally what we talk about. We don't talk about storage and different tiers of storage anymore nor do we talk about servers. We talk now about applications and how applications impact the business and end users."
"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."
"I like the speed, and I like the API and how programmable it is."
"The first set up we had was really straight forward and simple."
"The predictive performance analytics is a very good feature, as our system is performing better than before."
"The stability of Pure Storage is very very good."
"The speed is the most valuable feature, along with the ease of getting it connected. We were able to get it online in less than a day."
"Their technical support is excellent. It's the best out of any of the vendors we work with."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is the complete set of functions it provides."
"It has been very stable. I have not seen or heard of downtime storage issues after moving over to it."
"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly."
"Among the most valuable features are its granular replication, the ability to define asynchronous or synchronous replication, which gives us very definable RTOs and RPOs around that type of service, and granular quality-of-service configuration, which allows for cases where you've got multiple customers on a single Tintri, but you want to be able to offer strong quality-of-service metrics and KPIs."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"We need better data deduplication."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"We would like to see VNC integration or be able to use Pure Storage with VNC."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"Beyond a certain amount of petabytes, you have to have a separate system. Basically, it's not infinitely scalable."
"A three wave application or multi wave application synchronization would be an improvement."
"They are doing some stuff with containers and an object search. These could be improved, because containers is one of the main topics that we are talking with our customers about."
"Automation could be simplified."
"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"One thing I'd like to see in a future release is integration between their main storage array and what they call their FlashBlade product; to be able to snapshot directly from the primary array into multiple different backup copies on FlashBlade."
"If they could make it cheaper, that would be something."
"It would be nice if Pure had something in its portfolio that provided higher deduplication and compression for backups."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"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."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"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."
