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."Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"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 feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"It is a true, stable product."
"It is efficient and very simple for our administrators to use."
"It was easy for teams to pick up the technology with very limited exposure and training, then implement and support it."
"The smaller footprint of the device has been really nice. We have gone from eight bays to one bay. Having one floor tile in our data center has been pretty awesome. A lot less power and HVAC cooling is being consumed."
"The SRDF replication piece is probably the best feature. It's useful for maintaining recoverability in the event of a disaster."
"We like the compression, dedupe, and I/O on the PowerMax. They are better than on the XtremIO."
"We are able to provide storage at the right service levels without overmanaging it."
"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerMax NVMe is its replication feature."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"It is a set and forget environment with a very good tooling to view performance and delivers the IOPS we need for our VDI environment."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"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."
"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"The ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"It is on the expensive side."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"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."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"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."
"Remove the need for physical or hardwired virtual servers to run consistency groups, instead make the expensive array controllers handle that."
"If you go to Pure or you go to NetApp, they deliver in one month. If you go to Dell or HP, they will take up to six months for delivery. This is not a business model for today."
"The GUI interface is very complicated and could be improved by streamlining the number of steps in the process."
"There is room for improvement in the replication. It's an important requirement for us."
"The initial setup process is difficult."
"It's a relatively new product, but for the next release I would like to see higher bandwidth on the front-end adapters. This would allow even greater scalability for critical workloads and consolidation for non-critical workloads. The hosts may not require that level of I/O performance today. However, it allows us to scale physical non-cloud environments without large investment."
"I would like to see continued visibility and analytics in the platform."
"I think management is where PowerMax is weakest. We're still managing it like we managed EMC arrays in the early 2000s. There's a slicker, fancier GUI that does more things, but at the end of the day, you still have to dig into the command line and issue a lot of the same commands that we still were using almost 20 years ago."
"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."
"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."
"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 biggest area for improvement, and there has been some roadmap work in this area already, is cloud integration... Tintri has been investing in this area and I'm sure will continue to, but cloud integration has been the biggest area that we've been crossing our fingers and hoping for quick development around."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
