We performed a comparison between Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) and Tintri VMstore 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."The ability to keep data accessible even in the event of hardware failures is highly valued, as it ensures business continuity."
"I have found the graphical user interface to be the most useful thing about Virtual SAN."
"The failover redundancy is why we bought this product and it has never let us down."
"It also provides a high degree of mobility, as the virtual SAN can be moved relatively painlessly between on-site devices and the cloud."
"StarWind saved us about 80% of our storage costs over our old solution."
"The solution offers easy one-click PowerShell scripts that are ready to run."
"The ease of reaching the support team and their promptness for support is great."
"The ProActive support gives me peace of mind because I am a one man shop, but with the technical support behind me, I feel like more than just one person. We spent two to three hours, depending on what we have to do, always on the phone, and they do not push to end the call."
"This is a complete, very user-friendly product."
"The best feature of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is the central management of all of our resources. Additionally, it is easy to use"
"The HCI environment itself is very intuitive. Everything is centralized under one solution. And, they also have fast server built in in addition to a network analyzer."
"It has a user-friendly dashboard and interface."
"Nutanix does a superb job with technical support."
"SRM capabilities for replication have been proven reliable and very useful for our organization."
"Single click actions is definitely the most important. They were not even aware that they wanted this."
"The solution is well integrated with other vendors."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production."
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"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."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"A mobile app to sync up for overview and status would really be helpful."
"I would like to see more user-friendly dashboards in future versions."
"It would be great if the Linux version of the management console offered the same features as Windows."
"One main thing this product needs to work on is reporting."
"The product can include a more simple way of synchronization after a forced shutdown as the current process has a few more steps to check that hosts have synchronized and this can be automated."
"The cluster configuration is time-consuming and tedious."
"Perhaps more reporting features on the utilization, usage, and performance of the configured high-availability images and underlying physical disks would be helpful."
"I would like to see more monitoring and alert tools."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with external storage using the fiber channel"
"The scalability of Nutanix Acropolis AOS needs improvement."
"They have offered some new features that I have not deployed so I assume that these issues might have been addressed already, but, at my time there was a networking problem."
"I would like to see official compatibility with Red Hat in the future."
"As far as what could be improved, they have some built-in backup functions already, but any built-in isolation features like vision security features and free LAN features become a security concern."
"Reduce its power consumption."
"Could have better visibility with the main OEM backup integrators."
"One disadvantage of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is it doesn't support external storage. Connecting external SAN storage to Nutanix, it's not supported."
"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."
"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."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"More cloud integration."
"I think with the world soon becoming only SSD, possibly NVMe, and 3D Xpoint. It would make sense for Tintri to drop the hybrid array down the line."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
