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 of the Pure Storage Flash Array is the blazing fast monitoring."
"The stability of Pure Storage is very very good."
"The data reduction technology part of the scalability has been impressive, like its ability to host additional workloads, volumes of data, and databases."
"It's extremely stable and has good performance."
"It helps to simplify storage because it has an easy front-end to access everything."
"The sales and executive support have been outstanding compared to the rest of the market... My upgrade paths have been simple on the Pure... It's a lot simpler to implement and a lot simpler to manage."
"The stability and performance are the best things about the solution."
"Technical support has been amazing."
"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."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"The ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"vSAN is integrated into VMware."
"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 most valuable features are secure IOPs and LAN security."
"Everyone uses virtualization to more efficiently utilize hardware resources. That's the main point of vSAN and VMware."
"it's easy to scale, it's easy to predict IOP needs, and you can design for low latency using all-flash... Also, for setting up new clusters for VDI quickly, it's nice. You don't have to wait on an order for a storage vendor to ship you a system and help you configure it, you do it all yourself. And the sizing guides are pretty straightforward."
"Technical support has been fantastic. We always get answers quickly whenever we call."
"The product’s ecosystem is better than Nutanix’s."
"It scales well. We have plenty of room to grow."
"Areas for improvement would be the financial operations. In the next release, I would like to see a NAS protocol included."
"I would like to migrate to the cloud in the future and know how that would actually work with this product."
"Historical analytics would be useful. At the moment, they don't have any type of application built for historical analytics."
"The price of this solution could be improved."
"From a scalability perspective, it is a very small storage solution, so it's not very expandable."
"We would like to be able to connect to data tape for backup, specifically to the LTO backups."
"It needs to improve its price."
"The initial setup was a little complex. We had some initial issues with the design and had to help correct some of the white papers for it, but it wasn't your standard use case."
"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."
"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."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"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'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"The Tintri OS and GlobalCenter software do a great job of showing you troubled VMs, however it still could be a bit more helpful in diagnosing the issues."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"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."
"Hackers are able to manage to leak information or data from the product using some corrupt files, making it an area of major concern where improvements are required."
"As a software-based product, it requires a lot of system resources."
"On the DevOps side, if there could be more automation it would be more helpful."
"I see room for improvement with vSAN in particularly in the reporting realm. Now, with vSAN 6.7, they're starting to include vRealize Operations components in the vSphere Client, even if you're not a vRealize Operations customer. So, that's really good. It exposes some really low-level reporting. I would like to see more of that. However, you have to be a vRealize Operations customer to obtain that. I would like to see more include of this included in the vSAN licensing."
"When designing the implementation for vSAN, I have noticed that it requires a minimum of six nodes, and this creates a problem when it comes to maintenance. If, out of the six nodes, I put one node in maintenance mode, then vSAN does not create other VM components."
"We would like to see additional backup and recovery options added. In particular, integration with popular applications like databases."
"I would rate the stability a seven out of ten."
"Based on my testing, I would like to expand deduplication to include hybrid deployments and not just for all-flash deployments."
