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."This solution is very scalable."
"Pure Storage FlashArray's overall speed is its most valuable feature."
"We've had to use tech support on a number of occasions. They did everything remotely and talked us all the way through. They fixed the issue within 30 minutes. Every single time we contact them, they're perfect. I would give their technical support a ten out of ten."
"NVMe data storage platform that's easy to set up and easy to use. It's stable, with a lower response time, and quick technical support."
"Performance, deduplication, compression, and fast response time for requests from servers and applications."
"The first set up we had was really straight forward and simple."
"The technical support is very good."
"Most of the problems that we had in the past with the performance in IOPS have disappeared. It has been a great improvement for our customers' services."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"Performance, cost, and ease of storage management."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"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."
"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"Everyone uses virtualization to more efficiently utilize hardware resources. That's the main point of vSAN and VMware."
"The main advantage is that it's all in the box, with VMware vCenter Server product."
"The deduplication and compression are excellent."
"vSAN provides default HA configurations, where if any host goes down, the VM moves around within the host. Even though the disks are local, the VMs moves around with the vSAN disk and vSAN provides a high availability on its own."
"VMware vSAN is compatible with the legacy hypervisor solutions and most of the features are good."
"The most valuable feature is the fast performance."
"The most valuable feature of VMware vSAN is you do not have to use additional hardware for storage. The operation of VMware vSAN does not take a lot of effort. If you have VMware technology on your site, then it's easy for the operational support of the system."
"While we haven't made major changes to our disaster recovery and business continuity processes yet, moving towards stretch vSAN across sites will simplify and expedite our DR processes in the future."
"When we were doing some tests, we found that there was an I/O freeze when they were switching the controller."
"The solution could improve by having a multi-tenant feature."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve by being more secure."
"Going forward, don't complicate things for the customers."
"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."
"Storage. There could be better storage."
"I would like to see support for NVMe, end-to-end."
"As partners, we should have the option to download the software, rather than have to go back through Pure to obtain it."
"The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"Their current replication is really just enough to "check the box" that they do replication. We'll probably implement Actifio, Zerto or EMC RecoverPoint for VMs for more critical data replication."
"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."
"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."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"There is always a challenge with their firmware."
"This is quite an expensive solution."
"The big thing is pricing, and the rest of it is mostly good. From a scalability point of view, scaling the storage from network or compute should be easier. It is again all around the cost, and it would be good if it was easier to scale your storage separately from your compute."
"Its price could be improved. It is too expensive for our clients."
"The only negative point relates to the licensing. If you want multiple, different servers, it costs money, but you have all the capacity for vSAN. You do not reach the data, but the processor arrays and the current architecture."
"More focus has to be put on deduplication and compression with a hybrid architecture."
"One of the things that we've had challenges with are when we place hosts into maintenance mode. Sometimes doing so triggers large re-sync processes which can be time-consuming and which have, at times, pushed the capacity to the threshold. I definitely think making some changes in that area would provide some big improvements."
"The architecture of vSAN is not good. vSAN works with objects, such as disks, and it causes problems with availability."
