We performed a comparison between DataCore SANsymphony and Tintri VMstore T7000 based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, DataCore, Dell Technologies and others in Storage Software."DataCore has helped provide flexible, highly available, high-performance storage that otherwise would have been outside our price range."
"The dashboard is very intuitive, and there are a lot of counters to diagnose what happens during a short period (like when a backup is in progress)."
"CDP is an important feature for avoiding data loss in the event of ransomware attacks. You need more storage capacity, however, you get the possibility to return at any time and use the data saved up to that point. The recovery is much faster than with a classic restore."
"The dashboard is very intuitive, and there are many counters to diagnose what happens during a short period (like when a backup is in progress)."
"The documentation repository is really useful and kept updated."
"The use of the RAM cache allows you to speed up the writing and reading of data while also allowing for a possible increase in performance by increasing the RAM on the servers."
"The synchronous mirror allows us to operate a fully redundant storage solution that is distributed across two sites."
"The most valuable feature for us is that we can adjust the size of the storage very easily, without stopping production."
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"The ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"It would be ideal if they were providing archive licensing with the ability to create a second pool on existing storage nodes."
"I found it a little unnecessary to have to rename the configurations within the graphics console in order to have unique names."
"We'd like to manage the raid on the disk directly in SanSymphony."
"Right now, the version used is run on Microsoft Windows Server. Having a Linux version or even an appliance would be better as it would eliminate the use of additional licensing for another piece of hardware."
"I think the performance reporting can be improved by adding historical statistics into a database for the purpose of comparing."
"For customers or technicians who don't speak and understand English, it would be great to have other language support, all the more so given the number of countries in which SanSymphony is used."
"The main problem is there is no DataCore OS."
"I'd like to see the company make the renewal of the software cheaper."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"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 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."

There is no straight answer on this topic. Each storage architecture is different. Since the whole premise of SDS is to abstract the storage management form the hardware, Does the vendors software provide management for all your storage hardware brands and also all types of storage you use? Does it meet the end users needs and IT's? Assuming that you have a list of got to haves and nice to haves, all you can do is compare them. If Datacore meets your needs and you and IT have done your due diligence then go with that. There is always going to be someone with something "better".
