Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Technical support has been amazing."
"The solution helps to simplify storage."
"The stability is perfect. The reliability is 100% and the latency is always lower than 1 millisecond."
"The speed is the most valuable feature, along with the ease of getting it connected. We were able to get it online in less than a day."
"The sales and executive support have been outstanding compared to the rest of the market... My upgrade paths have been simple on the Pure... It's a lot simpler to implement and a lot simpler to manage."
"It is always out of the box, and ready to use."
"The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are management and administration user-friendliness, provisioning, and performance."
"We can store more for a cheaper price as opposed to paying for larger devices and larger rack spaces which get outdated sooner and which we'd have to change every two years. It simplifies storage for us."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful."
"The ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"vSAN that has been most effective in streamlining storage operations. For data recovery alerts, it uses tools like snapshots and vMotion."
"The high availability is very good."
"It is user-friendly, and its performance is good."
"The main advantage is that it's all in the box, with VMware vCenter Server product."
"It is scalable, overall. If you need to add storage, it makes it easy to scale by adding additional hard drives into the existing servers or you can add storage by just adding more servers."
"The most valuable features for us are the ability to scale out the nodes independently, and the flexibility of the nodes. We can put almost any type of server in there with our connectivity and everything works great."
"vSAN is easy for deploying and maintenance, so some customers can do service themselves."
"As a function of our core business, it's a sought after tool that helps us provide analytical support across a wide spectrum of client needs. It's allowed us to test out in our connected restaurant - "TheWorks" - a fully-functional restaurant experience center that allows our clients to discover the value of our connected solutions firsthand. We deploy vSAN in this customer-like environment within a hyperconvergent infrastruction (HCI) to give our clients a better understanding and help optimize data and the end-users' experience."
"I would like to see active replication. I know that it's available now but I haven't tried it yet. I hope that it works."
"It was not proactive communication."
"Data reduction is an area that needs improvement. There is a garbage collection service that runs but during that time, system utilization increases."
"I would rate this solution an eight because we have had outages. The commit times went very high in the database. The whole array went down so our customers were down for around eight hours. This was a very big outage which could have been our fault because we didn't do the upgrade in time."
"Had some issues with Purity not being entirely compatible with VMware ESXi."
"Most of our upgrades have not been as smooth as they should have been."
"It took us a year to get it to stabilize and to get the best out of Pure."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"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 solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"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."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"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."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"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."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There is room for improvement in vSAN's ability to debug. When it's not working well, debugging becomes quite challenging. Identifying issues when it's lagging or not functioning properly can be difficult."
"The pricing could be better when it comes to renewing the licenses."
"I would like to see the availability of more template based VMware systems. Combined with the ability to check and measure multiple and converging data segments. Another issue I've seen is that the tool seems to be slow when first starting up."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The customer service is good but there is a cost for it. It does not come free."
"When we talk about improvements for vSAN, there is some way to go from a at least stability perspective. Adding all these new features is nice, but we are now at the level that most of the features you need in production are there."
"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."
