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 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."
"The solution helps to simplify storage."
"The initial setup was very straightforward and very quick. It was up and running in our data center within 24 hours of receiving it."
"It is noticeably easier to manage than other appliances that we have."
"It's actually very stable"
"The most valuable feature is its speed."
"Redundancy and the fault tolerance of the platform are the most impressive."
"At this point, I don't know anything that they could provide in a better way."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"We love the real-time replication, ease of use when connecting our servers to the storage, and the level of redundancy inside the box... It's also simple software and integrates well with VMware so we get a lot of information about all of the VMs, how they're performing individually, and about network latency. That's very helpful when you're troubleshooting a slowdown."
"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"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."
"It is a set and forget environment with a very good tooling to view performance and delivers the IOPS we need for our VDI environment."
"The ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is vMotion. It allows them to shut down virtual machines and migrate them to others servers."
"vSAN that has been most effective in streamlining storage operations. For data recovery alerts, it uses tools like snapshots and vMotion."
"VMware vSAN is a global solution, so we can manage all the storage solutions in one place. It's embedded in VCI solutions."
"The most valuable features are its price point and that you can use existing storage; no specific storage requirements are needed."
"It's very scalable. I like that. Adding a node is easy. Adding a disk group is easy."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple."
"Provides good performance as well as integration with deployment tools."
"The most valuable feature of VMware vSAN is the ease of management. VMware vSAN it's a part of VMware ESXi and when you do patching for VMware ESXi, VMware vSAN receives the patches too."
"Beyond a certain amount of petabytes, you have to have a separate system. Basically, it's not infinitely scalable."
"The price should be lower."
"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."
"It was a little costly. The price was ultimately higher than both of the other solutions that we evaluated. I'd say that's the only downside."
"I would like to see them develop the ability to integrate with more AWS services. There are increasingly more and more services coming out from AWS but there are also certain constraints where we can't move everything over to a cloud as well. We would like for things that are on-premise to be easily integrated with AWS."
"We would like to see more cloud support, which we know is coming, although it's not out yet. It's going to be released in the next versions. That would be the biggest win, if additional cloud support is built into the array."
"We haven't seen ROI yet."
"They should work on their upgrades, they're not smooth."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"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."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"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."
"The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
"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."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"I would love for this product to be cheaper and easier to configure."
"The UI falls short compared to other solutions. It needs some development to make it more user-friendly."
"It should be easier to use."
"It can be very expensive."
"As no product is 100% perfect, the price for VMware vSAN could still be improved, though it is good when compared to some of its competitors."
"Lacks sufficient storage terabytes."
"The updating process could be easier."
"I would like to see more support for applications. I think currently it only supports applications between two vSAN clusters."
