We performed a comparison between Tintri VMstore T7000 and VMware vSAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"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."
"The high availability of the product is the most valuable feature."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"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."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"The ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"VMware vSAN is an easy to use and easy to manage storage solution. Deploying and upgrading are easy. Technical support is very good."
"The scalability is very good and the solution is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity of its scalability: being able to grow it without having to make sure you get the right disks and the right nodes. The solution is also easy to manage. It's all right there in the vSphere Client. You're not going through multiple things. You don't have to know, once you've created the vSAN node. You add storage, it sees it, and you create your data storage from there. Everything is right there for you."
"Instead of going for SAN storage, customers can use the scale-up and scale-out features of VMware vSAN."
"It allows us to put our infrastructure in remote locations and still get the same performance we get from our onsite SAN solutions."
"The feature we have found most valuable is the compatibility of VMware products with VCF and VMware Cloud Foundation."
"Storage is expandable with no extra cost."
"The implementation is simple, it was very straightforward. It took us approximately three weeks because it was installed in four locations."
"We need better data deduplication."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"Our use cases require more multi-tenant capabilities and additional VLAN interfaces for separating different customers. We currently use it to provide storage, sometimes shared storage, to different customers, but it is less flexible in comparison to a dedicated solution."
"It is on the expensive side."
"We have run into a couple of instances recently where we are running out of space. So we have had to buy some more packs for it and they have deployed fine and it has increased smoothly."
"You cannot tag a LUN with a description, and that should be improved. What I like on the Unity side is that when I expand LUNs or do things, there is an information field on the LUN. This is the Information field that you can tag on your LUNs to let yourself know, "Hey, I've added this much space on this date". Pure lacks that ability. So, you don't have a mechanism that's friendly for tracking your data expansions on the LUN and for adding any additional information. That's a downside for me."
"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."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"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."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"More cloud integration."
"The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
"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."
"What I feel would be nice, in terms of a wishlist, is scalability. Rather than replacing the whole appliance, I would like to be able to just add another unit and scale it like that."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"The monitoring feature in VMware vSAN could be better."
"The ability to access SAN environments with fiber channels (or even NVMe) would be a good addition."
"We do see weird things crop up every now and again. It will say that a drive gets kicked off even though it's fine, and we have to re-add it."
"There could be more features with the automatic backup."
"The price can be reduced. Small businesses cannot afford this solution."
"The main problem we had was hardware compatibility, finding the right hardware that was certified."
"There is room for improvement in vSAN's ability to debug. When it's not working well, debugging becomes quite challenging. Identifying issues when it's lagging or not functioning properly can be difficult."
"Disaster recovery needs to be improved, when there is a crisis, there is a problem with what is the quickest way to get out of it."
