We performed a comparison between Pure Storage FlashArray and Tintri VMstore T7000 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"The Pure1 component is most valuable at this point in time when comparing it with EMC. Pure1 is where you can have your diagnostics in the cloud, so you can look at things from your mobile phone."
"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"It is very easy to install and configure. It has got excellent diagnostics. If you really need to see how the box is performing, the console gives you a lot of information. You can set thresholds as well as alerts based on the thresholds, which is a very powerful functionality. They are very proactive. They know how to monitor and manage the systems. They see a problem, and they are all over it before us. They see the problem before we see it, which is very good."
"The high availability of the product is the most valuable feature."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"The solution is scalable."
"The first set up we had was really straight forward and simple."
"Performance, dedupe, and that it works well with database workloads are its most valuable features."
"We've been using FlashArray's snapshot for backups. Their replication across sites and response time are also excellent."
"It's easy to use, and the maintenance upgrades to get free controllers work really well."
"Their REST API is wonderful, well-documented, and easy to use."
"Pure gives us better compression, it's easier to manage, a lot less hands-on."
"One of the features that my customers are really interested in is immutable snapshots. There are immutable snapshots to which your applications can be reverted back if you are hit by some kind of ransomware threat or malicious attack. That's kind of a key deal, and it is one of the selling points I use to point out to my customers the value and the features that Pure Storage brings to the table."
"The solution has probably reduced my power use substantially."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"We love the real-time replication, ease of use when connecting our servers to the storage, and the level of redundancy inside the box... It's also simple software and integrates well with VMware so we get a lot of information about all of the VMs, how they're performing individually, and about network latency. That's very helpful when you're troubleshooting a slowdown."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production."
"It is a set and forget environment with a very good tooling to view performance and delivers the IOPS we need for our VDI environment."
"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."
"If the customer only needs 500 terabytes and doesn't care how much data they'll put in the server, IBM is cheaper than Pure."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"You cannot tag a LUN with a description, and that should be improved. What I like on the Unity side is that when I expand LUNs or do things, there is an information field on the LUN. This is the Information field that you can tag on your LUNs to let yourself know, "Hey, I've added this much space on this date". Pure lacks that ability. So, you don't have a mechanism that's friendly for tracking your data expansions on the LUN and for adding any additional information. That's a downside for me."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"We have run into a couple of instances recently where we are running out of space. So we have had to buy some more packs for it and they have deployed fine and it has increased smoothly."
"Efficiency improvements would always be welcome, but I'm not sure if they could get more efficient."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"We haven't seen ROI yet."
"On a couple of occasions, the waiting time for an upgrade has been pretty substantial."
"The GUI is simplistic and basic. I feel like it's explanatory, but not enough, it needs a little more to it."
"The scalability of the solution is not as good as it probably could be."
"Automation could be simplified."
"The integration capabilities could be improved."
"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."
"CIFS and SMB Shares cannot be mounted directly."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"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."
"More cloud integration."
"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."
"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 like to be able to add more storage capacity to our 2 units down the road with out buying an additional seprate array."
