We performed a comparison between Pure Storage FlashBlade 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."This solution has improved our organization in the way that we used to see latency but now with this solution we don't. It also has good performance. Latencies have come down for our performance in the SQL databases. We can put a lot more in a lot less in terms of space savings. We also save data center space have good deduplication."
"At this point, I don't know anything that they could provide in a better way."
"Pure is simple to set up and manage on a day-to-day basis."
"The most valuable feature is its data reduction."
"It is fast and reliable. It works."
"What I like most about this solution, is the speed, resiliency and scalability."
"It simplifies the overall management. We don't have to worry about storage anymore."
"It's actually very stable"
"The main feature I have found to be product replication."
"It's very easy-to-use."
"It is very easy to use, and it is very fast."
"The solution provides many controllers."
"It has absolutely simplified our storage because the dashboards on the consoles show a clear understanding of where you are, and it is also very easy to provision. This been a big help for our teams."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the rewrite speed and the nonstop services."
"The most valuable features are the Metro clustering, and disaster recovery."
"It has also helped to simplify storage for us in the way that it's easy to manage. Their automatic monitoring really helps when things break or are about to break. They see a problem coming and alert us even before our own system does."
"We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful."
"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."
"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"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 fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"The ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"I feel like there is too much automation; the user doesn't have any manual input."
"We would like to see better troubleshooting aspects. It helps us if we can find out where the problem is. Right now, it's difficult. Sometimes it's difficult to pinpoint the issue. If they had more visibility and more troubleshooting feature built into the tool that would really help."
"I would like the ability to swap out the network adapters into it. So, without taking out the whole controller, I would like to be able to swap adapters. This would make things easier."
"They should work on their upgrades, they're not smooth."
"We would like more extended historical data to help with some of the capacity planning. This is something that we are asking for all the time. E.g., what was the historical performance of this particular volume? So, we would like more historicals."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"We haven't seen ROI yet."
"As partners, we should have the option to download the software, rather than have to go back through Pure to obtain it."
"In terms of scalability, it doesn't expand out quite as robustly as some of the others, but it covers 90% of the market in what it does."
"On our dedupe during our initial buy, we were expecting a number a little higher like 4x. However, we are getting about 3.6. While it is close enough, it doesn't quite hit the numbers. So, this has been a challenge."
"I would like to see more VM-Aware features in the next release of this solution."
"It would be nice if you could store file-based in the same box with the same technology."
"It usually comes down to just what you hit and the value you're getting when you spend the money and license the products. I would always go, "If you want to make things better, lower your price and make your licensing simpler." There's always an opportunity around that."
"I have not seen ROI."
"In the realm of micro-services, I think that Pure Storage can do well if they start getting in there and making their arrays more micro-services ready."
"I would like to see the licensing fees improved as well as the price per terabytes."
"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."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"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."
"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."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"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."
"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."
