We performed a comparison between Tintri VMstore and VMware vSAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The deduplication and compression meet all of our system requirements."
"They have really good baked in analytics to show you trends for growth history, so it does help with future planning for data growth."
"Pure gives us better compression, it's easier to manage, a lot less hands-on."
"Data deduplication features make it easier to manage storage and forecast growth."
"It's extremely stable and has good performance."
"It is all-flash. This makes it a lot faster than the rest of what we have, as it is able to drive high I/O loads, which is big for us."
"The solution is easy to scale. I'm running two environments right now, so I need to scale. I'm running a part technology. I've got an A-side and a B-side."
"For us, the most valuable feature is the compression and deduplication. Being able to deploy a three to one ratio for storage is absolutely critical in today's world with the growing need for storage and the growing need for more space."
"We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful."
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"Its performance is amazing. Since I have put Tintri in, I haven't had a complaint from anybody about slowness. On top of that, there is block-level cloning and the ability to spin up VMs."
"It’s very good at IOPS."
"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."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"The ease of use is great."
"It is very easy to set up and very easy to use. It is very useful."
"To me, VMware is a leader of the visualizations. I think everyone just follow VMware."
"The most valuable features are productivity and data storage."
"This product has very good performance when it comes to virtualization storage and works well with solutions such as SAP HANA, Exadata, Hadoop, and Big Data Analytics."
"The valuable features of vSAN are that you can get it up and running quickly, you get redundancy built-in, and it's pretty much the perfect solution for a cluster."
"vSAN is scalable for us. If any additional capacity needs to be included, we just add to the host and configure the vSAN cluster."
"It scales well. We have plenty of room to grow."
"I think replication is one area that still needs improvement. Earlier, Pure Storage FlashArray only had IP-based replication. There was no API-based replication, but they have enhanced the feature now. However, they need to work on API replication for C-type of arrays."
"CIFS and SMB Shares cannot be mounted directly."
"It's too early to tell if we've seen a reduction in total cost of ownership. The solution is expensive."
"This product has only two active controllers, whereas other solutions can have more. This is something that needs to improve."
"We would like to be able to connect to data tape for backup, specifically to the LTO backups."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"I would like to have support available in Spanish."
"Pure Storage support could be a little better."
"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."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"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."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"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."
"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."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"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."
"They can improve the manageability of the solution to make it more simple. It is not that complicated, but it will be good if they can make it more simple."
"I would like for the next release to be a bit cheaper."
"The UI falls short compared to other solutions. It needs some development to make it more user-friendly."
"Troubleshooting tools could be improved."
"Reporting currently depends on third party applications and that could be improved."
"vSAN does not have online dedup. When opening the inline dedupe, the performance will be lower than off inline."
"The only thing I can think of at this time is to improve the performance monitoring and performance visibility within the GUI."
"This is quite an expensive solution."
