We performed a comparison between NetApp AFF and Tintri VMstore T7000 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Offers excellent features like efficient data reduction, a reliable SafeMode, and a great support model for continuous assistance and updates."
"The duplication algorithm allows us to get a lot more use out of less storage. We're running a five terabyte array right now and we're running probably about 30 terabytes on it. So the duplication rate is pretty phenomenal, without a cost to performance. It still runs pretty smoothly."
"It's incredibly easy to use and greatly simplified our ability to both deploy and manage our storage subsystems."
"What I really like about this program, is that it is easy to use and easy to configurate."
"The high availability of the product is the most valuable feature."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed. It is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"This solution makes everything a lot faster. The time to move data around, boot and migrate VMs is much faster."
"NetApp AFF is based on Unix, which makes it secure."
"NetApp AFF is very good at cleaning up your storage."
"The most valuable features are the low latency and high-performance."
"One of the main features that we love about the system is the ability to create snapshots. NetApp makes a lot of snapshots in a short space of time. Also, the speed of data recovery with NetApp, at the time we need it, is an important feature that we love."
"Data efficiency is the most valuable feature because of the dedupe and compression."
"I think that the DR applications are the most valuable, including Snapshots and SnapMirror."
"We reduced our floor space by reducing 44 racks units to four rack units. It has helped us with our data center economies of scale. It reduces our support costs too, which is great."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"Performance, cost, and ease of storage management."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production."
"I like Tintri's Global Admin feature and the solution's performance. It's incredibly fast storage, which was a significant upgrade for us when we deployed it seven years ago. The Tintri snapshots are brilliant and incredibly reliable."
"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."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"It is on the expensive side."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"The software layer has to improve."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"It has not reduced our data center costs. NetApp charges a pretty penny for their stuff."
"We have been seeing some challenges around the application layer implementation. We are having some teething problems now with the cooperation between the application layer and backups to things, like SnapCenter. This may be a question of product maturity."
"The scaling needs improvement. NetApp is limited for scaling options."
"NetApp AFF is a highly expensive solution, and its pricing should be reduced."
"We would like to have a feature that automatically moves volumes between aggregates, based on the performance. We normally need to do this manually."
"FC and ATTO bridges are still needed for cross datacenter replication."
"The initial setup was a little complex, because we weren't very knowledgeable in the NetApp at the time. We were using a third-party, and they didn't have a lot of technical individuals, so it took a while to get it out."
"AFF could introduce different subscriptions on the platform."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"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."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"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."
