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."Their REST API is wonderful, well-documented, and easy to use."
"The GUI is very easy to use and intuitive."
"The best feature is consistently lower latency, even when IOPS crank up to over 75K. The product maintains submillisecond response time, which is incredible."
"The most valuable feature is its speed."
"What I like most about this solution, is the speed, resiliency and scalability."
"Data reduction and compression. Sub millisecond latency."
"The availability and ease of use are the big features."
"It's actually very stable"
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"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."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"vSAN can help customers save on storage system costs, and also save on the human cost."
"While we haven't made major changes to our disaster recovery and business continuity processes yet, moving towards stretch vSAN across sites will simplify and expedite our DR processes in the future."
"VMware vSAN is compatible with the legacy hypervisor solutions and most of the features are good."
"The simplicity, as well as the integration with virtualization."
"VMware vSAN is easy to configure, with basic functionality and the customer can maintain the solution."
"We are finding that vSAN is a lot more scalable and adaptable, because we can go in with hybrid arrays for our lower-end storage needs or with all-flash versions of vSAN for places where we need more performance, and it's coming in at a lower cost point than an actual traditional array."
"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 its price point and that you can use existing storage; no specific storage requirements are needed."
"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."
"We haven't seen ROI yet."
"There are many features which need to be added, particularly on the replication side."
"The way Pure Storage does the controller storage warranty or replacement has been an issue for some people who just replace the controllers every couple of years, and that's where some of the confusion with pricing and support has come in. They should be clear on the way the controller replacements happen, as it is important to know whether or not you can get a good return on them, because it can be a little confusing."
"In terms of the future, I have been excited by some of the copy data management stuff that they're talking about building into the environment. There are feature sets where I've done a lot of automation work. So, I am always looking forward to extensions of their API. They're also talking about a phone home centralized analytics database being used as a centralized management console with a list of new cloud features, but this doesn't seem finalized."
"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."
"I would like to migrate to the cloud in the future and know how that would actually work with this product."
"What it needs to do is work a little closer with solutions, like VMware, so it understands the particular workloads that are on it. Today, it does not understand the applications which are running against it."
"More cloud integration."
"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."
"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."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"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."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"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 platform’s pricing needs improvement. Additionally, there should be an appliance module included in it."
"I would rate the stability a seven out of ten."
"The server files are larger than before."
"Some intelligence can be added to the newest version to provide more flexibility between storage tiers."
"Ease of administration is one area where vSAN could be improved."
"The interface is a little complicated, it could be simplified with more graphical gadgets. We have many servers, and the built-in functions, such as rate configuration, are a bit complex."
"There is always a challenge with their firmware."
"There could be more features with the automatic backup."
