We performed a comparison between Parallels Remote Application Server (RAS) and Tintri VMstore based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Citrix, Microsoft, VMware and others in Application Virtualization."The connection is compressed so we don't need a lot of resources to run it."
"The solution is powerful, and it has good speed and performance."
"Setup was straightforward. Our particular use case involved an Active Directory forest involving two data centers and three domains. User authentication against Active Directory was the easiest to set up and validate of any application installed in the last three years."
"Client compatibility with many systems makes it very versatile. The reporting that is included is awesome."
"It is a stable solution."
"It provides flexible access to Windows applications from many types of devices."
"We can provision the servers without the need for another third-party solution."
"The management capability from the RAS portal provides greater control than using pure MS inbuilt into RDS capabilities."
"It’s very good at IOPS."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"Performance, cost, and ease of storage management."
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"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."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"Improvement is needed in performance monitoring of the client's endpoint, and automatic re-connection of the client in the event of circuit disruptions (this works well generally but can present challenges)."
"It needs Windows scaling on Android/iOS devices. At present, the concept of delivering apps to Android and iOS devices is appealing, but the reality is the screen size on these devices is so small that, unless there is some scaling option, it is not really usable."
"If the solution crashes, then all the customers connected through that agent, lose their session."
"Since I've been here less than a year, I have had to upgrade the system three times. The first time was the major upgrade but they have upgraded twice since, and I think that's too many times in that time span."
"A web-based management interface for administration and reporting would be nice, instead of needing to log into a remote server."
"We would like the ability to provide a popup message, such as a maintenance notification. That same notification on the Parallels client would be awesome."
"Sometimes you need to understand how to use load balancing and the gateway in order to scale, which means the team may need some additional technical knowledge."
"It would be great if there were more sophisticated GPO templates/options."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"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 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."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
