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 simple, powerful, and ready to use."
"We also like the compactness, the small footprint. It takes up very little space in a data center and uses little power."
"One of the lesser sung advantages was when we started running our interface engine on Pure Storage. The ability to process messages and pass them through in our organization skyrocketed purely because of a disk that I owned which we were getting out of Pure Storage."
"It's extremely stable and has good performance."
"This solution has improved our organization in the way that we used to see latency but now with this solution we don't. It also has good performance. Latencies have come down for our performance in the SQL databases. We can put a lot more in a lot less in terms of space savings. We also save data center space have good deduplication."
"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."
"Performance, deduplication, compression, and fast response time for requests from servers and applications."
"It's just very easy for general block storage."
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"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."
"Performance, cost, and ease of storage management."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"The most important thing is the simplicity of the product. It is a well-established product with good stability."
"The most valuable features are its price point and that you can use existing storage; no specific storage requirements are needed."
"I have used VMware for 15 years and I never had any problems with stability."
"Easy to deploy and manage."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to continue our business needs and have higher visibility. It has definitely increased our business productivity levels."
"The most valuable features are Erasure Coding, Deduplication and Compression, and the advancement in stretching regarding replication."
"It easily integrates with all types of storage."
"The scalability of the solution is most valuable."
"I would like some form of QoS implemented. As a service provider, it would be beneficial to have it."
"We would like to see better troubleshooting aspects. It helps us if we can find out where the problem is. Right now, it's difficult. Sometimes it's difficult to pinpoint the issue. If they had more visibility and more troubleshooting feature built into the tool that would really help."
"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."
"There's always an opportunity for new feature functionality."
"The price of Pure Storage FlashArray could be better."
"I would like to see data tiering to AWS."
"The number of Filesystems is limited, which it is not on the EMC VNX."
"Self-backup is the only feature lacking in this solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"Ease of administration is one area where vSAN could be improved."
"External storage would be a good thing to have in the next release, something other than iSCZI, something a little more, not HA, a little more production-oriented, than iSCZI."
"There could be more features with the automatic backup."
"I would like to see better integration between the cloud and our VMware virtual environment. We only have one virtual environment, which is VMware vSAN. Right now, there is little interoperability with the cloud solution at the moment."
"They should make the software updates easier. We should be able to upgrade it more easily."
"They should provide Deduplication and Compression over the hybrid drives."
"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."
"If one node out of your ten nodes fails, it takes a lot of time to replicate and rebalance VMware vSAN. This time can be reduced. When a node fails and the data is not accessible, vSAN has to be rebalanced to make the redundancy level of two again. However, if it is taking a lot of time and any other hardware fails during that time, then we have a problem. Two disk failures mean that all data will be lost, and we may have to recover it from the backup. So, the number of threads that run to do the rebalancing could be more so that the time taken to make it fully redundant again is not so much."
