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 most valuable feature is replication."
"Their technical support is excellent. It's the best out of any of the vendors we work with."
"Data reduction and compression. Sub millisecond latency."
"With Pure Storage, we don't see any latency or IOPS. It has been a very seamless integration."
"The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are management and administration user-friendliness, provisioning, and performance."
"Access speed and power consumption are most valuable."
"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."
"They are quite responsive and our local team was pretty good."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"It’s very good at IOPS."
"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"Among the most valuable features are its granular replication, the ability to define asynchronous or synchronous replication, which gives us very definable RTOs and RPOs around that type of service, and granular quality-of-service configuration, which allows for cases where you've got multiple customers on a single Tintri, but you want to be able to offer strong quality-of-service metrics and KPIs."
"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."
"The main advantage is that it's all in the box, with VMware vCenter Server product."
"We have found the solution to be very scalable."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is vMotion. It allows them to shut down virtual machines and migrate them to others servers."
"The solutions best feature is that it is easy to use."
"The vSAN features we've found most helpful are live application migrations and storage policies. It has storage, policies, application, and DRS policies. Automation is there."
"It helped us survive power outages in one of our data centers, then continued to function without a hitch."
"It completely removes the need for a storage network and for a storage administrator and all of that infrastructure and the costs that are involved with them."
"vSAN Health is a feature designed to monitor the health and performance of the vSAN environment. It's crucial for us and our customers to frequently check on this to ensure everything is operating smoothly."
"Currently, the solution fails to support file screening."
"We would like to be able to connect to data tape for backup, specifically to the LTO backups."
"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."
"Historical analytics would be useful. At the moment, they don't have any type of application built for historical analytics."
"In the next version of this program, I would like to see increased security, higher encryption, and faster throughput."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"I would like some performance analytics which go deeper than today. It should be specific to some hosts and applications. This would be good."
"The higher education moves slowly. We are still looking forward to implementing the full list of existing features."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to be able to add more storage capacity to our 2 units down the road with out buying an additional seprate array."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"On the software side, I suggest adding integration with backups software like CommVault Simpana or Veeam where these products can integrate with the array and trigger things like snapshots for backup, etc."
"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."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"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."
"They can improve the manageability of the solution to make it more simple. It is not that complicated, but it will be good if they can make it more simple."
"Perhaps they could provide encryption without having to use an encryption manager."
"It would be ideal if the solution offered some intelligent monitoring."
"When we talk about improvements for vSAN, there is some way to go from a at least stability perspective. Adding all these new features is nice, but we are now at the level that most of the features you need in production are there."
"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."
"We would really like them to look at what Nutanix did for day-one/day-two operations deployment: Bringing in the equipment, getting it deployed, getting it setup, and ease of use of one-click for deploying our 30-node solution. With vSAN we had to go into each one individually and set it up."
"I think it needs to be more cost-effective. I would also say that even though the capacity is good, there is also room for improvement there. Also, they could improve the security of the system."
