We performed a comparison between Tintri VMstore and VMware vSAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is its high stability level."
"We are very happy with the data deduplication and compression ratio that we have on the platform."
"We like the speed. It's very low latency. In virtualization, you can mask lots of problems, and even in code you can mask lots of problems, with low latency. It's just pure speed and low latency."
"The speed is one of the most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray."
"I like the speed, and I like the API and how programmable it is."
"The deduplication and compression rates are beyond impressive."
"The console is simple to use. It has good performance. It is easy to install, understand, and manage, with a good ratio of deduplication and compression. It is doing its job."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most comfortable pricing, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"It’s very good at IOPS."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly."
"Its performance is amazing. Since I have put Tintri in, I haven't had a complaint from anybody about slowness. On top of that, there is block-level cloning and the ability to spin up VMs."
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"vSAN is very integrated."
"vSAN that has been most effective in streamlining storage operations. For data recovery alerts, it uses tools like snapshots and vMotion."
"The solution is simple to use compared to other solutions, such as Hyperflex, VxRail, and Nutanix"
"I like the orchestration feature."
"By eliminating dependency on that back-end storage, we now depend on everything that's in the VMkernel with vSAN. We eliminate the middleman."
"vSAN provides default HA configurations, where if any host goes down, the VM moves around within the host. Even though the disks are local, the VMs moves around with the vSAN disk and vSAN provides a high availability on its own."
"The deduplication and compression are excellent."
"The most important functionality is the ability to extend cluster storage and cluster computing power securely without loss of data."
"I can't see where they can make anything better, unless, of course, they lower their prices even more."
"I would like some performance analytics which go deeper than today. It should be specific to some hosts and applications. This would be good."
"I’d love to view the average, minimum and maximum performance in the reports (Analysis tab - Performance) but it is only graphics and you need to export data in CSV to find this information."
"The support for NFS protocols right out-of-the-box need improvement. I'm used to other storage vendors who have NFS support right out-of-the-box, and Pure Storage doesn't seem to have anything."
"The file functionality could be better."
"Areas for improvement would be the financial operations. In the next release, I would like to see a NAS protocol included."
"It took us a year to get it to stabilize and to get the best out of Pure."
"The solution could improve by having a multi-tenant feature."
"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."
"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."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"More cloud integration."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"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."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"There is room for improvement in vSAN's ability to debug. When it's not working well, debugging becomes quite challenging. Identifying issues when it's lagging or not functioning properly can be difficult."
"It would be much improved if we could somehow integrate a better backup with it. Right now, we're using Veeam and it's okay, but I would like more of a VDP vSAN solution. That would be excellent. The VDP, at least the last time we looked at, it was just not quite there."
"There could be more features with the automatic backup."
"Only the stretched cluster requires a minor improvement."
"The pricing could be better when it comes to renewing the licenses."
"There needs to be an increase in the supported memory and hard disk space, as it is an area where the product currently has certain shortcomings."
"While I like the replication and compression features, there is a problem with them running too slowly."
"The platform’s pricing needs improvement. Additionally, there should be an appliance module included in it."
