Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."We have tons of capacity on it."
"It is pretty much just plug and play. There is not that much to do with it. It is very easy to use."
"It is an easy to use product for all of my team members."
"This solution has improved our organization in the way that we used to see latency but now with this solution we don't. It also has good performance. Latencies have come down for our performance in the SQL databases. We can put a lot more in a lot less in terms of space savings. We also save data center space have good deduplication."
"The scalability is good."
"We've had to use tech support on a number of occasions. They did everything remotely and talked us all the way through. They fixed the issue within 30 minutes. Every single time we contact them, they're perfect. I would give their technical support a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features are extremely low latency, high IOPS with VMware, inline deduplication and compression."
"On a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most comfortable pricing, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"Implementation of the solution is very simple."
"The GUI is very straightforward and easy to use."
"Latency is definitely the big key for us."
"The most valuable aspect is the use of solid-state storage drives instead of spinning drives."
"Ease of use: My installers - my administrators over the system - they love how easy and fast it is to install and spin up a LUN and get going."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the always-on data deduplication."
"Scale out is a differentiator for them, especially in the enterprise market. It's key for a lot of customers."
"It provides a full feature set without separate licensing (deduplication, compression, snapshot, asynchronous replication, stable performance, etc.)."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"I like Tintri's Global Admin feature and the solution's performance. It's incredibly fast storage, which was a significant upgrade for us when we deployed it seven years ago. The Tintri snapshots are brilliant and incredibly reliable."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"I would rate this solution an eight. To make it a ten it would have to be a little cheaper."
"A year ago they promised that they would be able to read through the database encryption with more metric and they have not delivered on that patch, which is significant because it gives us back so much more storage room. We want to be able to read through the encryption."
"If they could make it cheaper, that would be something."
"This product has only two active controllers, whereas other solutions can have more. This is something that needs to improve."
"The problem is that we can only make a few groups, around five or six groups. I like groups and we need a lot of them. We had to put all the information in only a few groups and cannot make a more detailed separation of them."
"I can't see where they can make anything better, unless, of course, they lower their prices even more."
"The initial setup of the product is complex."
"Some services could be inserted directly into the SAN, so Pure Storage could complete with the HyperFlex."
"The front panel of the drive shelf doesn't always seat firmly."
"Some of the nice to haves for us, in terms of today, would be VVols but again, it’s not a critical feature."
"Improved scale and budget planning with flexibility of the solution for budget needs and efficiency for growth with the great optimization ratio due to the nature of our use."
"I would like to see LDAP for the management panel; I've been notified they might be currently working on it."
"I would like them to improve the look of the product’s external casing and shelves."
"The interface look and feel could be improved."
"The management graphical interface needs more improvement."
"The system currently has a 15TB LUN size limit and that snapshots need to be scheduled through script API instead of the GUI."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support is an area where we had several issues, and it was hard to get some support in a specific case we had. I'm not very satisfied with them."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
