"Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly.""It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance.""The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues.""The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI 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.""Fast deployment for virtual machines""I like Tintri's Global Admin feature and the solution's performance. It's incredibly fast storage, which was a significant upgrade for us when we deployed it seven years ago. The Tintri snapshots are brilliant and incredibly reliable.""Among the most valuable features are its granular replication, the ability to define asynchronous or synchronous replication, which gives us very definable RTOs and RPOs around that type of service, and granular quality-of-service configuration, which allows for cases where you've got multiple customers on a single Tintri, but you want to be able to offer strong quality-of-service metrics and KPIs."

Cons
"Microsoft Virtual Server needs to improve its stability.""The pricing and scalability are areas of the product with shortcomings where improvements are required.""The solution’s stability could be improved.""While I am generally satisfied with the solution, it could slightly improve its stability.""In terms of what could be improved, pricing is always too high of course.""The response time from technical support could be faster.""As certain medium-level complexities are involved in the product's setup process, the product's setup phase can be considered for improvement.""The product must provide easier rollouts."

"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.""The Tintri OS and GlobalCenter software do a great job of showing you troubled VMs, however it still could be a bit more helpful in diagnosing the issues.""The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here.""More cloud integration.""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.""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.""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."
