We performed a comparison between Huawei OceanStor 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."I find two features of Pure Storage most valuable. The first is the "safe mode" function, and the second is its simplicity."
"With Pure Storage, we don't see any latency or IOPS. It has been a very seamless integration."
"The stability is perfect. The reliability is 100% and the latency is always lower than 1 millisecond."
"The solution is very reliable."
"It is an SSD array that has awesome performance, low submillisecond latency, and does what it is supposed to do. It just works, which is difficult for things to do anymore."
"Our storage phones home. It is smart and intelligent in that aspect, which has been huge for us. We don't have to be storage administrators."
"Pure Storage FlashArray's overall speed is its most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is its upgradeability."
"It is easy to use, deploy, communicate and manage this solution."
"We get a quick response in case any component defaults. We have seen the benefits mostly."
"The performance and ease of management are the most valuable features."
"The solution has improved our organization by speeding up our operations."
"The solution works well for non-critical applications that do not require a heavy workload. The tool's all features are valuable."
"Huawei OceanStor is a good product. Its interface is very simple. The complexities we encounter with recovery points are gone. We just attach to remote storage, click the application, and it starts."
"The solution is scalable."
"If your virtual machine that resides on it completely fills the storage space, thanks to it's built-in function of all-zero data space reclamation, you just have to ask to System Engineer to run a zero-free on hosts (thin provisioned) and you will get more space instantaneously."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"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 ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"Support from our vendor and Tintri are brilliant. They have always answered all of our questions promptly."
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"Tintri VMstore is rock solid. We have not had a single issue with stability. It is also very low maintenance allowing us to concentrate on project work."
"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."
"Self-backup is the only feature lacking in this solution."
"Having something native in the Pure Storage ecosystem would make it integrated and in one single company, and we wouldn't have to work with multiple organizations."
"We would like more extended historical data to help with some of the capacity planning. This is something that we are asking for all the time. E.g., what was the historical performance of this particular volume? So, we would like more historicals."
"Pricing could be better in comparison to other solutions."
"I would rate this solution an eight. To make it a ten it would have to be a little cheaper."
"It is way in excess of what we need. If anything, we could see a bit more speed. I'm just comparing it with what some of my colleagues who are implementing their own systems do."
"I would like some performance analytics which go deeper than today. It should be specific to some hosts and applications. This would be good."
"Most of our upgrades have not been as smooth as they should have been."
"The solution’s reporting could be improved."
"Configuration complexity and the tools available."
"The user interface is not so user friendly."
"The deployment took a little longer."
"The administration should be simplified because there are a large number of options that make it too complicated, and the customers can get confused."
"In the future release, Huawei OceanStor should improve on what they already have. It is a good solution."
"The main concern is regarding the usability of the data storage."
"The technical support has been a let down for us. It's something the company has to work on. We haven't been satisfied with their level of service."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
"I think with the world soon becoming only SSD, possibly NVMe, and 3D Xpoint. It would make sense for Tintri to drop the hybrid array down the line."
"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."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
