We performed a comparison between Tintri VMstore T7000 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 solution is scalable."
"FlashArray has some fresh efficiency features. I've never seen a storage solution with a compression rating this high before. It's at least 4-to-1 on Oracle databases. It's the best flash storage for Oracle."
"The latency is good."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"It's incredibly easy to use and greatly simplified our ability to both deploy and manage our storage subsystems."
"It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"The Pure1 component is most valuable at this point in time when comparing it with EMC. Pure1 is where you can have your diagnostics in the cloud, so you can look at things from your mobile phone."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"The ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful."
"The feature we have found most valuable is the compatibility of VMware products with VCF and VMware Cloud Foundation."
"I like vSAN because they release features incrementally, every year, and you don't have to upgrade your hardware to get those features. If you bought a traditional SAN, you would have to upgrade your hardware constantly, every three years: You would get it, and it is how it is for three years. But on vSAN, you upgrade when you have to, when your hardware gets old or when you need more capacity. It's great, you get new features constantly."
"One of the valuable features for us is the ability to restrict the performance capacity per client. Other solutions don't have this feature."
"It is user-friendly, and its performance is good."
"Easy to deploy and manage."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is that it is stable."
"Allows us to implement more quickly, and to ease the maintenance."
"The most important thing is the simplicity of the product. It is a well-established product with good stability."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"Every time I think of something that needs to improve, they're one step ahead, which I love. The only area I wish to see improve, I believe is coming, is in the FlashBlade product. Blade implementation fell short on a few of the services."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"It is on the expensive side."
"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."
"In terms of what needs improvement, the dashboard and management could be simplified."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"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."
"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."
"I would like it to have the ability to store data other than virtual machines. At the moment, you can only connect VMs to it, and that’s a bit disappointing."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"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."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"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."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"Some intelligence can be added to the newest version to provide more flexibility between storage tiers."
"I would love to see vSAN integrate Persistent Memory and NVDIMMs. I know they're supposed to be working on an elastic tier so that we don't have the issues with destaging from the cache to the capacity. Those are the things that I'm interested in."
"It is a memory intensive app."
"The server files are larger than before."
"Its price could be improved. It is too expensive for our clients."
"The main problem we had was hardware compatibility, finding the right hardware that was certified."
"It would be ideal if clients didn't need to monitor the solution on a daily basis."
"I would have liked it to have been more scalable. It's scalable but not as much as, for example, the ScaleIO systems were or the Kaminario"
