"The mobile app is very helpful."
"The initial setup was really straight forward."
"Very efficient storage"
"We find the ease of usability and setup valuable."
"The console is simple to use. It has good performance. It is easy to install, understand, and manage, with a good ratio of deduplication and compression. It is doing its job."
"The initial setup was very straightforward and very quick. It was up and running in our data center within 24 hours of receiving it."
"I never have to worry about its performance or if it is the root cause of an issue."
"The most valuable features are stability and performance."
"We find the product to be very flexible."
"Low latency is the most valuable feature."
"During the use cases of the solution, its reliability and suitability are the best."
"Over the eight years, we've been using NetApp with ONTAP, we've never lost a bit of data, and we've only experienced a few minutes of downtime in that entire time."
"The storage features are valuable."
"NetApp NVMe AFF A800 is easier to use than some other solutions and the UI is very good to use for day-to-day activities. Overall, the solution has good technology."
"The product can be scaled vertically as well as horizontally."
"Performance, cost, and ease of storage management."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly."
"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."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."
"There's always an opportunity for new feature functionality."
"Having something native in the Pure Storage ecosystem would make it integrated and in one single company, and we wouldn't have to work with multiple organizations."
"Just some nit picky stuff, like allowing servers and volumes to be grouped. Therefore, it would easier to work with them in the GUI."
"We haven't seen ROI yet."
"The technical support is okay, but could be improved."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve some aspects. There are certain features that are good and there are some features that I see some issues with at the technical level. Those issues are related to replication. They need to resolve those issues, which I have already highlighted to the Pure team. Additionally, there are some issues in the active cluster that could improve."
"The support for NFS protocols right out-of-the-box need improvement. I'm used to other storage vendors who have NFS support right out-of-the-box, and Pure Storage doesn't seem to have anything."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Stability is an area with a certain shortcoming where the solution needs to improve"
"Increasing the RAM, and including physical cords would be beneficial."
"The support can take a few days to have a response. However, the response that we do receive is very informative."
"The product's performance has some shortcomings, making it an area that could be a little better."
"Sometimes, it takes a while to get somebody competent on the other end of the line. They do have engineers in multiple time zones around the world. However, their level-one support is not always the best."
"The initial setup should be easier, and more like a plug-and-play approach."
"The cost of the solution is quite high. It would be ideal if they could adjust it so that it's a but less."
"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 Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
"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."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"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."
"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."
