We performed a comparison between HPE Nimble Storage 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.
"Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"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 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 system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"The solution is scalable."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"The setup was very, very simple. When we got our AF5000, no kidding, we had it up in production within two hours"
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Definitely ease-of-use. I've experienced many different arrays out there and Nimble is definitely there."
"The solution runs pretty fast."
"The interaction with VMware is most valuable."
"InfoSight has identified controller failures or performance issues."
"Our virtual admins are able to take control of Nimble and know how to allocate the storage, whenever it is required, thus reducing time."
"The most valuable feature is InfoSight, and the ability that InfoSight gives you, from insight within your environment to what is going on at the storage layer."
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"Its performance is amazing. Since I have put Tintri in, I haven't had a complaint from anybody about slowness. On top of that, there is block-level cloning and the ability to spin up VMs."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"It’s very good at IOPS."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"Right now, the box itself is just strictly working as a backend storage system. It would be fantastic if we could access it directly like a NAS device through network access or SIS drives. I think they have an interface, but I am not sure how good it is. If we could address a box directly on the network without having to go through a server, it would be great. The replication schemas could be improved. We are not using replication on the storage level right now. We use a different type of replication. If their replication would be as good as the one that we have, I would probably run the replication schema because it might be faster, but I don't know that for a fact. So, I cannot say that they have good replication. All I can say is that they need to inform us better."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"The software layer has to improve."
"Scalability, in terms of being able to scale out, is not easy and should be improved."
"I would like to see integration with OneView, at least for reporting or some sort of monitoring."
"In the future, I would like to see a lower-end model that has Peer Persistence functionality."
"I really would like to see synchronous replication. This is something that when we have multiple arrays in our environment and being able to do something like a zero RPO."
"If they could reduce the cost, that would be ideal."
"Its pricing could be better. It's expensive."
"The quality of technical support depends on which member of the support team you speak with."
"The scalability could be better."
"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."
"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."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"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."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"I would like it to have the ability to store data other than virtual machines. At the moment, you can only connect VMs to it, and that’s a bit disappointing."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
