We performed a comparison between Dell XtremIO and Tintri VMstore 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."It's easy to use, and the maintenance upgrades to get free controllers work really well."
"The availability and ease of use are the big features."
"This solution is very scalable."
"It has been very stable. I have not seen or heard of downtime storage issues after moving over to it."
"The ease of use. That's what our customers love. They say it's very easy, they don't need special training, they don't need to call us or any other company or integrator to help them do their job. That's the main reason they purchase Pure."
"The deduplication and compression rates are beyond impressive."
"The most valuable feature is its speed."
"The deduplication and compression meet all of our system requirements."
"The most valuable features are that it is fast and reliable."
"The solution's most valuable features are the inline data reduction and deduplication."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its high performance."
"The feature I like most about Dell Xtremio is its hardware quality compared to other vendors. It's clear they're continuously improving their research and development."
"Thin storage allocation"
"Ease of management, aside from the serious performance, is the best feature."
"The most valuable features are: complete performance and ease of use."
"XtremIO’s capability to run any workload without much in the way of design considerations makes this very easy to use and size."
"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."
"We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"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."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"Performance, cost, and ease of storage management."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"Currently, the solution fails to support file screening."
"There's always an opportunity for new feature functionality."
"We would like to be able to connect to data tape for backup, specifically to the LTO backups."
"Historical analytics would be useful. At the moment, they don't have any type of application built for historical analytics."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve the recent file storage capabilities because it is lacking a lot of features."
"I would love for them to have a hyper-converged solution."
"Pure Storage support could be a little better."
"In the next release, the solution could have better integration and if we can host assets on the cloud, such as NetApp has the NetApp volumes, which we can host on the cloud directly called NetApp CVO (cloud volume ONTAP). Dell EMC should come up with something purely on the cloud rather than manage services."
"Scalability is something that can be improved because there is an issue when it comes to mixing versions."
"It needs a way to determine the deduplication of each LUN and what the impact would be if we were to move data from one LUN to another."
"Get rid of the Java aspect of the GUI console."
"I believe having more replication options comparatively to VMAX (other than RecoverPoint) would be great."
"XtremIO needs to be lower priced. It also needs better endpoints and scalability."
"This solution is geared toward enterprise-level companies. Small and medium-sized businesses would find it extremely expensive."
"They can improve the product by providing an HTML5-based interface instead of the Java GUI based application."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"What I feel would be nice, in terms of a wishlist, is scalability. Rather than replacing the whole appliance, I would like to be able to just add another unit and scale it like that."
"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."
"More cloud integration."
"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."
"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."
