We performed a comparison between Dell PowerStore and Tintri VMstore based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage Arrays solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Migrations are very easy and fast."
"The simplicity and ease of use have been very valuable features. I have a very small team, and only half of the team is well versed in the HP product. Whereas if I bring PowerStore in, everyone can learn it because it will be new on the floor."
"Dell EMC PowerStore is scalable."
"Gives us flexibility, performance, and ease of use. It also has some very good compression capabilities. We were looking for a solution that was easy to install in our VMware environment, that was flexible. PowerStore X is a type of a VMware cluster that you install inside your environment. If you have a VMware environment, like we have in production, it's easy to install and use."
"You can add compute and capacity independently. We have sized the solution based on our current needs, but in the future we can choose to increase capacity if we grow our activity in the market. And if we have more business in our monetary system, we can increase compute. The ability to choose what we increase is a good feature."
"Pricing is very good. It's very competitive against those of all the others that I looked at in the marketplace, such as Hitachi, IBM, HP, and Pure. Dell is right there in the mix as far as providing the best price point as well as meeting the performance requirements that we have."
"Currently, the features of replication and deduplication have been very important to us."
"I have found the most valuable part of Dell PowerStore is the price."
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"Many customers are looking for a cyber recovery feature included in PowerStore. We would like to see this added in a future release."
"Reporting is an area that could be improved. It's very simplistic sometimes, and some of the very technical guys on my team want to see more of the details and be able to massage the report a little bit better."
"I would like to see a Snapshot feature. Currently, it is unable to occupy the capacity."
"Where the system needs to improve is by adding more enterprise features like replication on other sites. We would also like it to be much more aligned with the VMware version. For example, today we have two different versions of VMware ESXi running to keep the PowerStore online. It would be better if the software cycling was faster."
"We are looking for the Dell PowerStore to become more mature to maximize our use cases."
"The price is on the higher side."
"It's also only supported with a limited amount of switches."
"I do not like having to use VPLEX for synchronous replication, as opposed to having the store software built-in."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
