We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) and Tintri VMstore T7000 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two HCI solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."VSAN works great; it's very easy to install, configure, and manage."
"The management and monitoring have been very easy since the solution's dashboard is very simple and user-friendly."
"When using new (warranty) servers, you can forget about the storage service for several years. The users will not even notice the failure of two servers out of three."
"Speed and high availability have been the most valuable for us."
"Support keeps track of alerts of the system and verifies with us if we need help to fix any issues. They have great and quick technical support."
"The product gave us a cost-effective way to deploy a highly available server environment."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that the nodes are Active/Active, and allow us to do upgrades on any node without any downtime."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support. They are excellent and you can learn a lot from the support team."
"It has enterprise data services with consolidated storage data protection and disaster recovery. One valuable aspect is its efficiency as a robust platform. There is an ease of managing all processes. The data recovery process is remarkably fast. It’s a stable solution. The product is scalable. It provides high-speed live migration capability."
"It supports multi-cloud integration that includes AWS, Google, and Azure."
"The solution is well integrated with other vendors."
"You need to send commands through the command-line interface(CLI). This could be improved. The commands are done better in VMware."
"The technology of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is the most valuable feature. You don't need multiple screens to manage."
"It's quite easy to scale, and you have the option to have distributed nodes everywhere around the world that work as one. You can also have a solution for small branch offices with only two nodes for redundancy, and that's good enough to start."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure is its low cost, guaranteed to failover and failback with only a few clicks."
"The most valuable features are its ease of use and its good performance."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful."
"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 has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"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."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"The Deduplication feature in VDI environments. If Tintri says we can host 3000 VMs in our storage, I know we can host 3000 VMs there. Believe the results."
"Currently, the StarWind management console is a bit clunky to navigate and isn't the most user-intuitive interface."
"The GUI deserves a little love."
"The configuration can a bit cumbersome."
"There should be publicly available tutorials on YouTube or other platforms that help the users to integrate this solution with other platforms, for example."
"Sometimes documentation on their site can be out of date."
"Scaling the product is fairly easy except for the computing aspect. It would entail another appliance. While not a show stopper, it isn't as easy as dropping in a few extra SSDs."
"Being able to run StarWind vSAN on top of any free UNIX operating system to build a resilient iSCSI/FTP/SMB storage system would be useful."
"The StarWind Management Console is available only for Microsoft Windows/Windows Server, and should also be available for Linux and macOS, as it would reduce implementation costs."
"There are other services that Nutanix has that could be improved, but I'm not very familiar with the other services of Nutanix, such as Era and Flow. However, they seem a bit hard for us to implement and integrate with the Nutanix Acropolis AOS and other Nutanix tools. We would not dare to implement those other Nutanix solutions into Nutanix Acropolis AOS right now. The implementation of that tool could be the problem, I am a bit hesitant to implement the other tools into Nutanix Acropolis AOS."
"Nutanix has a complex infrastructure, we have customers that consider VMware instead. Additionally, the performance could be better."
"There should be a little more access to Nutanix files."
"Nutanix can be a bit complex to understand."
"This solution would be improved with built-in integration with Rubrik."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve by having an auto-update feature. At this time I have to update each system manually. However, I bought the standard license and I did not buy the maximum license they have available. There could be a certain license that does the updates automatically."
"The reporting section of the dashboard could be improved to include more detailed reporting about the servers."
"The storage and back-up facilities could be improved. We need day-to-day encrypting of the database."
"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."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"More cloud integration."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"What I feel would be nice, in terms of a wishlist, is scalability. Rather than replacing the whole appliance, I would like to be able to just add another unit and scale it like that."
"Their support staff just doesn't have the experience with all of the products that we're running. They don't know the 850 series like we do because it's five years old. There is a little bit of a gap, and that may just be because we're an old customer running on platforms that their staff hasn't seen. I would like to see an improvement in their in-depth knowledge of their older products."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
