We performed a comparison between Pure Storage FlashArray 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."Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"The latency is good."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"The duplication algorithm allows us to get a lot more use out of less storage. We're running a five terabyte array right now and we're running probably about 30 terabytes on it. So the duplication rate is pretty phenomenal, without a cost to performance. It still runs pretty smoothly."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is its high stability level."
"Before we used Pure Storage it took 93 days of employees who run the database to back up and restore databases. The scale of deployment basically went from several days to a few minutes."
"The initial setup was very straightforward and very quick. It was up and running in our data center within 24 hours of receiving it."
"We like the speed. It's very low latency. In virtualization, you can mask lots of problems, and even in code you can mask lots of problems, with low latency. It's just pure speed and low latency."
"The predictive performance analytics is a very good feature, as our system is performing better than before."
"The speed is the most valuable feature, along with the ease of getting it connected. We were able to get it online in less than a day."
"Access speed and power consumption are most valuable."
"Data deduplication features make it easier to manage storage and forecast growth."
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"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."
"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."
"The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use."
"We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"It is on the expensive side."
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"We have run into a couple of instances recently where we are running out of space. So we have had to buy some more packs for it and they have deployed fine and it has increased smoothly."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"I would like to have an easy way to determine the cost per VM so that I can present a solution to our customers."
"We do have an issue with the vCenter integration. Pure Storage says it has a lot of free space, but vCenter says its completely full. This is because their dedupes are saved as space, but Vcenter still detects the disk as completely full. So, we do have an issue with that."
"The backend of this solution utilizes an Active/Passive architecture, rather than an Active/Active architecture, which is a disadvantage, when compared to some of its competitors. Its storage capacity should be expanded in the next release."
"It would be nice to have a better view of the allocated capacity on their Platform as a Service solution because we have to do some manual calculations to understand how much we are going to pay every month to use the storage that is allocated."
"We haven't seen ROI yet."
"They could improve the price."
"I would rate this solution an eight. To make it a ten it would have to be a little cheaper."
"I would like to see data tiering to AWS."
"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."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"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."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"The solution is already good but the brand name is not so popular here."
