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."The stability is very good. I've done destructive testing on it and never had any type of storage outages from it."
"Technical support has been amazing."
"It worked flawlessly."
"This solution has helped my organization by cutting down on provisioning time. I used to have to provision a VM and it would take ten minutes. Now, it takes thirty seconds."
"We were actually able to do multiple upgrades, including head upgrades and moving between the platforms, M20 and M50, over the years. We have never once lost a ping and have never had an outage due to an OS upgrade or a complete head upgrade."
"We've been using FlashArray's snapshot for backups. Their replication across sites and response time are also excellent."
"The first set up we had was really straight forward and simple."
"The job of support for the storage engineers dramatically changed. We know more quickly the automation of the provisioning. We can now focus on things that bring more value to the company than just managing storage."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production."
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"I like that we could choose whatever hardware we wanted, rather than having to use one particular vendor."
"The most valuable features are the encryption, deduplication, compression, and the ability to manage all of your storage within your server rack."
"VMware has been around for a long time are are doing a decent job at catching up with the latest technologies i.e. bringing in kubernetes and containerization. Overall, this is a great tool for virtualization."
"The scalability has been quite good."
"Instead of going for SAN storage, customers can use the scale-up and scale-out features of VMware vSAN."
"The most valuable feature is that it is software-defined storage. Also, being able to do maintenance on the fly is a real benefit: migrating off, updating, and then moving the guest back on to the nodes."
"The valuable features of vSAN are that you can get it up and running quickly, you get redundancy built-in, and it's pretty much the perfect solution for a cluster."
"The scalability is very good and the solution is stable and reliable."
"If they could make it cheaper, that would be something."
"The solution is not cheap."
"Part of our company works on Dell EMC because Pure Storage did not have synchronous applications when we were purchasing our products."
"The backend of this solution utilizes an Active/Passive architecture, rather than an Active/Active architecture, which is a disadvantage, when compared to some of its competitors. Its storage capacity should be expanded in the next release."
"The setup needs to be improved the most. They can do a little more with the user interface, but the setup is what I would like to see made a bit easier."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"There are many features which need to be added, particularly on the replication side."
"I would rate this solution an eight. There's always room for improvement, nobody is perfect to get a ten out of ten. They do what they do well. It's not cheap but we it's for uses that we needed."
"The biggest area for improvement, and there has been some roadmap work in this area already, is cloud integration... Tintri has been investing in this area and I'm sure will continue to, but cloud integration has been the biggest area that we've been crossing our fingers and hoping for quick development around."
"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."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"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 Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"They should make the software updates easier. We should be able to upgrade it more easily."
"Enterprise customers get discounts on the solution's licensing pricing, but it is too expensive for SMB customers."
"Its price could be improved. It is too expensive for our clients."
"It could be more robust. The latency is also an issue for us, and the reliability. I would like it to be faster and a little more flexible."
"If we have some complicated issues, you have to use the command lines interface. Not everything is possible to be fixed in the GUI. This is a drawback, that some things have to be fixed via command-line interface and should be able to be done in the GUI."
"There is always a challenge with their firmware."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution functions as the marketing says, as long as you follow certain rules."
