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's reduced our overhead management time on storage, since it is so simple to get in and just provision a volume, present it to the host, and then you are done."
"Their technical support is excellent. It's the best out of any of the vendors we work with."
"Pure Storage FlashArray has significantly improved our data center performance. It handles high workloads efficiently, providing better performance in the environment. With increased storage capacity, it has led to improved overall system performance. The tool's technology is a standout feature. It has helped me reduce storage costs by 15 percent."
"We're getting good performance, and the compression ratio is also very good in Pure Storage FlashArray."
"It helps to simplify storage. For most of our customers, when they move to Pure Storage, storage becomes an afterthought."
"We also like the compactness, the small footprint. It takes up very little space in a data center and uses little power."
"It simplifies storage."
"What I like most about this solution, is the speed, resiliency and scalability."
"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."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"The ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"It’s very good at IOPS."
"Tintri VMstore is rock solid. We have not had a single issue with stability. It is also very low maintenance allowing us to concentrate on project work."
"It allows us to put our infrastructure in remote locations and still get the same performance we get from our onsite SAN solutions."
"Being hyperconverged, it simplifies what equipment we have to buy."
"The high availability is very good."
"IOPS is comparatively best to run VDI solution."
"Everyone uses virtualization to more efficiently utilize hardware resources. That's the main point of vSAN and VMware."
"Stretched Cluster is one of the big features that we use across multiple data centers."
"This solution has a dashboard that you can log into and control if you need too while the VM is getting created."
"Allows us to implement more quickly, and to ease the maintenance."
"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."
"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."
"The system has dual controllers but does not have a high level of resiliency built-in."
"Storage. There could be better storage."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"It is a bit expensive."
"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"Speed of our VDI machines. We have a very high log in and log out ratio and machines are being refreshed instantly so we have a constant boot storm on our storage."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"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."
"More cloud integration."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"The vSan product uses a software system called Vsphere to monitor the system. It is sometimes difficult to manage the PCs within the systems."
"As a software-based product, it requires a lot of system resources."
"I'd like to see better integration with the Update Manager, with respect to firmware updates for hardware."
"Disaster recovery needs to be improved, when there is a crisis, there is a problem with what is the quickest way to get out of it."
"In a future release, they can bring in the object storage capabilities to this solution. Currently, there is not any compatibility."
"The integration could be improved. I would like to see integration with other platforms."
"Its installation should be easier, and its price should be cheaper. It would be good for the product if they can include the data locality feature."
"The stability needs to be improved."
