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."Data deduplication is one feature I found to be the most valuable in the tool...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Simplicity and reliability are the most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray."
"We have seen savings in our storage. The speed of deployment has gone from several days to a few minutes. This product has reduced that time into minutes, simplifying storage for us."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most comfortable pricing, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"All updates, upgrades, and hardware work are all performed on-line with no impact."
"We put a fair amount of stress on it because we run sequel workloads and we run web applications where the same web files are hit over and over. We have had almost zero stability issues with that SAN, that has been really great for us."
"It is always out of the box, and ready to use."
"I like FlashArray's ActiveCluster as well as its snapshot and cloning capabilities."
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"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 management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"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."
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"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's completely hyper-converged, so it's very convenient."
"The ability to have a disaster recovery option for our end-users by being able to use VDI and the vSANs, and the ability to do replication across multiple data centers, are valuable to us."
"VMware vSAN is compatible with the legacy hypervisor solutions and most of the features are good."
"The most valuable thing about vSAN is that all of its features have been working well for us for the past two years. We haven't had an issue with them."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The flexibility is most valuable. Being able to manage things quickly if something goes wrong is also valuable. Very recently, we had one node that went down due to a power problem, but there was really no major impact on the systems running on top of it."
"It's stable and scalable. Also, you can virtualize SAN so that you don't have to have a separate storage area network and can have your computer and storage on the same box or computer."
"One thing I'd like to see in a future release is integration between their main storage array and what they call their FlashBlade product; to be able to snapshot directly from the primary array into multiple different backup copies on FlashBlade."
"I'd like to see a move towards individual VMs for what the performance of each VM is in a VD infrastructure. I can see the overall volume, but I would love to see things in a more granular level on the VM side."
"It is a bit expensive."
"Pricing could be better in comparison to other solutions."
"The only time that we had problems with it was that there was a bug in the VVol implementation but, outside of that, it has been flawless."
"I would like some performance analytics which go deeper than today. It should be specific to some hosts and applications. This would be good."
"It is way in excess of what we need. If anything, we could see a bit more speed. I'm just comparing it with what some of my colleagues who are implementing their own systems do."
"I would love to see a true one click upgrade solution. Right now, you have to click and schedule an appointment with Pure Storage to be able to upgrade. I would love for it to automatically download, install, and fall-over every controller as it updates."
"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."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"More cloud integration."
"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."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"I would rate the stability a seven out of ten."
"A vSAN cluster must have compression and deduplication to be an all-flash array, but it's not supported with a hybrid array. Deduplication and compression work better with an all-flash array, so I think that VMware should give customers the option to activate and support this feature for hybrid arrays. Other products like Nutanix support this."
"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."
"VMware vSAN needs to improve its features because other solutions have more advanced features."
"If the support could be provided more quickly, it would be very helpful."
"They should provide Deduplication and Compression over the hybrid drives."
"The updating process could be easier."
"We want see a better monitoring tool in vSAN. Monitoring is not that great as of now because it shows us false alarms in the Health status. We would like that to be improved."
