We performed a comparison between Dell PowerMax NVMe 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."I like the speed, and I like the API and how programmable it is."
"Redundancy and the fault tolerance of the platform are the most impressive."
"My rating of Pure Storage is a ten out of ten because of the price for performance and footprint - the overall value."
"Because of the encryption, we have different storage and the encryption can go over both."
"We also use VMware integrations developed by Pure, their plugins in our vCenter environment. They help by allowing our non-technical operations teams to deploy new data stores and resize data stores without me having to involve myself all the time to do those simple tasks."
"It gives us capacity planning."
"The GUI is very easy to use and intuitive."
"It helps us maintain uptime much better than other solutions we've used in the past, and the support is extremely quick and responsive."
"The optimization of the cache memory of each engine and the use of persistent memory."
"The number one most valuable feature is reliability. I want to go home at the end of the day and come in the next day knowing it works, especially since we have storage offshore."
"First, it's an enterprise storage solution. This is very important for us. Another important feature is replication."
"It's faster and more resilient."
"Technical support has been excellent."
"It is a very stable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"We find the service level option to provision storage very valuable. The ability to define different service levels for storage groups helps us in prioritizing our workload at the infrastructure level."
"The solution has good operability and easy scalability."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"The Deduplication feature in VDI environments. If Tintri says we can host 3000 VMs in our storage, I know we can host 3000 VMs there. Believe the results."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"I would like to have support available in Spanish."
"If they could make it cheaper, that would be something."
"Beyond a certain amount of petabytes, you have to have a separate system. Basically, it's not infinitely scalable."
"They have a product, FlashBlade, which is their object storage integration, and that's something that we haven't integrated with yet. This might be an area for additional focus as it would play into scalability, because the very nature of object storage is that it's infinitely scalable."
"In the configuration, which we brought in or tested it in, it has a very limited config as far as the array goes. That said, it still did more than our anticipation."
"The technical support is okay, but could be improved."
"Most of our upgrades have not been as smooth as they should have been."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"I would like to see continued visibility and analytics in the platform."
"Dell PowerMax NVMe needs to increase storage and improve scalability."
"Firmware updates are a bit painful because you have to involve their support, as opposed to having the ability to do it yourself."
"The solution does not use new versions of OS and patches. Its installation is also difficult. The solution is not as fast as other storage in the market."
"I would also like to see a real-time, graphical view of metrics. I don't know how far back in time we can look, but if we could see the performance from two months or three months back, and how it is performing now, that would be helpful."
"Dell can improve the Service Level Agreement (SLA) compliance. Sometimes, when we need to replace a component, the SLA says four hours, but for some reason, the technician doesn't arrive until the next business day or even six to eight hours later before the case is placed. So, focusing on respecting the SLA is where Dell could improve."
"I would like to see the rack change. They have defaulted to the standard rack, so our fiber cables are crowded when we shut our back door."
"I would like a more informative CloudIQ for iOS. What you can see via the web UI significantly differs from what you can see via the web application."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"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."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"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."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"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."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"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."
