We performed a comparison between Springpath [EOL] and Tintri VMstore based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Nutanix, VMware and others in HCI."The product's core feature of virtualizing our storage is by far the most valuable."
"We test live failovers every week, and so far, everything has been running smoothly without anything unexpected."
"It has been extremely stable for the three years we've been running it."
"User friendly interface and straight forward implementation."
"It is easy to use and can monitor system synchronization and check Storage status. StarWind Virtual SAN (VSAN) combines flash and disks of the cluster and forms a virtual shared storage “pool” accessible by all hosts. StarWind cuts down virtualization cost and complexity by eliminating the need for a physical shared storage (SAN). -StarWind offers the Enterprise-level high availability (HA), deployed and easily configured . we get technical support from star wind team when implementation software and after setup if we face any issue."
"Training is also easy as it is just one system to learn."
"Active-active work mode leads to true redundancy of storage and allows us to distribute the load between multiple nodes."
"vSAN we found was simple to set up, easy to configure and manage and allows us to achieve storage redundancy."
"Integration with vCenter WebClient services and Cisco UCS Ecosystem, as it gives a Single Pane Of Management which lowers administration-cost (improving TCO)."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"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"
"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."
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"The management console of StarWind Virtual SAN is pretty complex."
"Pricing is a bit high."
"The only way I can see this product needing improvement is the consultation level of the StarWind sales and engineers."
"The number of different ways you can set it up can make it a little daunting."
"Some of the documentation seems to be a bit older and refers to deprecated items."
"With data verification, I would like to know how does the solution perform validation of data being synced between two VSANs."
"It would be great to have more automated tooling around managing the iSCSI connections in Windows"
"I would like to see options for automated notifications of any changes, including, for example, synchronization issues."
"Stability during installations/upgrades is a big issue."
"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."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"Technical support is an area where we had several issues, and it was hard to get some support in a specific case we had. I'm not very satisfied with them."
"Their current replication is really just enough to "check the box" that they do replication. We'll probably implement Actifio, Zerto or EMC RecoverPoint for VMs for more critical data replication."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
