We performed a comparison between HPE Nimble Storage and Tintri VMstore 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."Scalability is one of the best features. You can quickly add more. You can swap out the drives with larger sizes, you can add more shelves. All of that is perfect - the whole concept of keeping it modular..."
"The performance and the ever-growing maintenance are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It gives us capacity planning."
"The console is simple to use. It has good performance. It is easy to install, understand, and manage, with a good ratio of deduplication and compression. It is doing its job."
"It is easy to manage. You don't have to have the same people who used to manage the Dell EMC arrays because the solution is more intuitive."
"The solution is very reliable."
"Because of the encryption, we have different storage and the encryption can go over both."
"The management features are well organized and they have a very good dashboard."
"We use InfoSight predictive analytics. It helps us from a performance perspective by identifying potential bottlenecks."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Nimble Storage is a great storage solution which will give you a lot insight on the growth of your storage."
"HPE Nimble Storage is quick to release updates that fix bugs or problems and the failover has been good."
"The tool’s support is feasible."
"They do a good job of helping people do storage in a very simple way."
"The management software that runs in the cloud is called InfoSight and it is very good. It is similar to machine learning software that monitors your hardware."
"Regarding their support, you always get through to somebody who knows exactly what they're talking about."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"We love the real-time replication, ease of use when connecting our servers to the storage, and the level of redundancy inside the box... It's also simple software and integrates well with VMware so we get a lot of information about all of the VMs, how they're performing individually, and about network latency. That's very helpful when you're troubleshooting a slowdown."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"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."
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"Currently, the solution fails to support file screening."
"It is a bit expensive."
"The credentials on the iSCSI interface are only available to type in with the Chrome browser, and not with the Firefox browser."
"It's too early to tell if we've seen a reduction in total cost of ownership. The solution is expensive."
"It is way in excess of what we need. If anything, we could see a bit more speed. I'm just comparing it with what some of my colleagues who are implementing their own systems do."
"The problem is that we can only make a few groups, around five or six groups. I like groups and we need a lot of them. We had to put all the information in only a few groups and cannot make a more detailed separation of them."
"If we suddenly dump large amounts of data onto the storage system, it takes a while to process it."
"Pricing could be better in comparison to other solutions."
"The solution should allow for easier configurations."
"They keep talking about doing one-to-many replication. This is what we'd like to see, just to help with data replication."
"We have had some stability issues with one array which has happened twice during subsequent software updates but is due to a bad Postgres database."
"We would like there to be more enhanced features."
"I'd like to see more granular quality of service rules. Currently, I think currently there's not much room for maximum IOPS, but there's not an option for minimum IOPS for a given volume."
"The amount of firmware updates released seem excessive."
"An area that needs improvement is extending the life of the device after five years."
"The solution could reduce its price."
"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."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"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."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"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."
"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."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
