We performed a comparison between NetApp NVMe AFF A800 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."The most valuable feature of this solution is the support."
"The solution helps to simplify storage."
"We are very happy with the data deduplication and compression ratio that we have on the platform."
"Non-disruptive upgrades: You can upgrade at anytime without worry."
"The management is simple in Pure Storage FlashArray."
"The stability is very good. I've done destructive testing on it and never had any type of storage outages from it."
"Very efficient storage"
"We can store more for a cheaper price as opposed to paying for larger devices and larger rack spaces which get outdated sooner and which we'd have to change every two years. It simplifies storage for us."
"During the use cases of the solution, its reliability and suitability are the best."
"The storage features are valuable."
"We find the product to be very flexible."
"Low latency is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are stability and performance."
"You can easily scale up, and scale-out."
"The product can be scaled vertically as well as horizontally."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a product that is fast and provides a fast I/O."
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"Its performance is amazing. Since I have put Tintri in, I haven't had a complaint from anybody about slowness. On top of that, there is block-level cloning and the ability to spin up VMs."
"The Deduplication feature in VDI environments. If Tintri says we can host 3000 VMs in our storage, I know we can host 3000 VMs there. Believe the results."
"On a couple of occasions, the waiting time for an upgrade has been pretty substantial."
"The way Pure Storage does the controller storage warranty or replacement has been an issue for some people who just replace the controllers every couple of years, and that's where some of the confusion with pricing and support has come in. They should be clear on the way the controller replacements happen, as it is important to know whether or not you can get a good return on them, because it can be a little confusing."
"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."
"I would like to have support available in Spanish."
"Part of our company works on Dell EMC because Pure Storage did not have synchronous applications when we were purchasing our products."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"I would like to see the NAS add-on component become more fault-tolerant than just a single virtual machine running inside the array. I'm unwilling to use it for that reason."
"It was a little costly. The price was ultimately higher than both of the other solutions that we evaluated. I'd say that's the only downside."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Increasing the RAM, and including physical cords would be beneficial."
"Sometimes, it takes a while to get somebody competent on the other end of the line. They do have engineers in multiple time zones around the world. However, their level-one support is not always the best."
"The support can take a few days to have a response. However, the response that we do receive is very informative."
"The cost of the solution is quite high. It would be ideal if they could adjust it so that it's a but less."
"The product's performance has some shortcomings, making it an area that could be a little better."
"The product’s UI could be better."
"The initial setup should be easier, and more like a plug-and-play approach."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"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."
"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."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"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."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"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."
"More cloud integration."
