We performed a comparison between ScaleIO [EOL] and Tintri VMstore based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."They know how to clearly present any important data, including data flow and each drive's IOPS/bandwidth; and allow the user to easily monitor bottlenecks and problems"
"Automatic rebalancing is the feature saving administration time."
"We are using it as the primary virtualization storage (both for internal corporate users and external customers) for VMware and Hyper-V virtualization platforms."
"Compared to other products in this category that are competing with Dell EMC, Dell seems to us to always come out on top."
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"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."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"It’s very good at IOPS."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production."
"There is room for improvement in the area of horizontal scaling."
"If they could introduce a write cache feature, the product would be perfect overall."
"Ecosystem around the product: There is no built-in system for viewing history data, such as volume IOPS. We have to provide graphing by Prometheus and Grafana, which would be a good new feature in ScaleIO."
"It would be nice to set minimum IOPS per volume, besides just the maximum, to be able to satisfy this demand from customers out-of-the-box, not by calculating number of disks, etc."
"More cloud integration."
"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."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"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."
"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."
"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."
