Find out what your peers are saying about Citrix, Microsoft, VMware and others in Application Virtualization."Everything is fine as far as our implementation goes."
"The product is easy to set up."
"The dashboard is valuable to us."
"The performance and scalability offered by the tool meet our company's expectations."
"I appreciate the ease and speed with which I can set up and manage virtual machines using Microsoft Virtual Server."
"The standout features are its seamless network integration, robust data restoration capabilities, and versatile computing functions."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to share folders and run Active Directory."
"The most valuable features are monitoring, and the self-service that they have for a customized environment."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"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."
"Performance, cost, and ease of storage management."
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"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."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"Microsoft Virtual Server's cost was an area of concern...I feel Microsoft Virtual Server will be stopped in a couple of months or a couple of years, and it will be completely replaced with SQL Server data warehouse and Microsoft Fabric."
"The pricing and scalability are areas of the product with shortcomings where improvements are required."
"In terms of what could be improved, pricing is always too high of course."
"The response time from technical support could be faster."
"There could be more security features included in the product."
"Microsoft Virtual Server needs to improve its patching. It should offer us a review before updates. The solution should also improve its pricing."
"The solution's user interface could be improved."
"The platform’s dashboard features could be better."
"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."
"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 solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
