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."It simplifies building out the storage."
"The deduplication and compression meet all of our system requirements."
"The technical support is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is the complete set of functions it provides."
"Pure Storage is extremely reliable — it's never failed."
"FlashArray has many valuable features. It's very user-friendly and it has high availability, so there is comparatively less downtime. During maintenance, there is no shutdown procedure, so you can directly power off the Array and manage the shutdown process without any data loss, which is a unique feature. Managing replication and data migration is also very easy."
"I find two features of Pure Storage most valuable. The first is the "safe mode" function, and the second is its simplicity."
"The most valuable feature is that maintenance is free."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"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."
"The Deduplication feature in VDI environments. If Tintri says we can host 3000 VMs in our storage, I know we can host 3000 VMs there. Believe the results."
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"Easy to deploy and manage."
"vSAN has just one datastore. so customers do not need to think where to put their VMs, how to design the physical disk RAID, the LUN size, the LUN mapping, etc. when they use NetApp/EMC/HDS or other storage systems."
"The most valuable feature is the simplification of storage. We no longer need to deal with Fibre Channel and the external storage arrays."
"VMware vSAN is a global solution, so we can manage all the storage solutions in one place. It's embedded in VCI solutions."
"The most valuable features are productivity and data storage."
"Stretched Cluster is one of the big features that we use across multiple data centers."
"Everyone uses virtualization to more efficiently utilize hardware resources. That's the main point of vSAN and VMware."
"VMware vSAN has greatly reduced refresh spending."
"FlashArray's capacity for forecasting should be improved because it needs to be a bit more current. I think it's bundled with the deduplication and other compression factors. We need more user interfaces for forecasting in this software and more interfaces need to be integrated with this array management tool."
"There's always an opportunity for new feature functionality."
"From a scalability perspective, it is a very small storage solution, so it's not very expandable."
"Storage. There could be better storage."
"In the configuration, which we brought in or tested it in, it has a very limited config as far as the array goes. That said, it still did more than our anticipation."
"It would be nice to have a better view of the allocated capacity on their Platform as a Service solution because we have to do some manual calculations to understand how much we are going to pay every month to use the storage that is allocated."
"I would like some form of QoS implemented. As a service provider, it would be beneficial to have it."
"I would like to have an easy way to determine the cost per VM so that I can present a solution to our customers."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"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."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"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."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"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 product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"The integration could be improved. I would like to see integration with other platforms."
"We are facing some problems with updates with the VMware vSAN. When we upgraded from version 6.5 to 7, we have been faced with many problems. They have been deploying many hotfixes for this version, and they need to continue to improve this version."
"It could be cheaper."
"VMware vSAN needs to improve its features because other solutions have more advanced features."
"The stability needs to be improved."
"The platform's cost affects the business. This particular area needs improvement."
"Dedupe in non flash drives can be improved."
"The solution functions as the marketing says, as long as you follow certain rules."
