We performed a comparison between Red Hat Ceph Storage and Tintri VMstore based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."Red Hat Ceph Storage is a reliable solution, it works well."
"What I found most valuable from Red Hat Ceph Storage is integration because if you are talking about a solution that consists purely of Red Hat products, this is where integration benefits come in. In particular, Red Hat Ceph Storage becomes a single solution for managing the entire environment in terms of the container or the infrastructure, or the worker nodes because it all comes from a single plug."
"We have not encountered any stability issues for the product."
"I like the distributed and self-healing nature of the product."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"It has helped to save money and scale the storage without limits."
"We use the solution for cloud storage."
"Most valuable features include replication and compression."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"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."
"It is great for finding problems where VMs are hogging all the performance."
"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."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"I would like to see better performance and stability when Ceph is in recovery."
"We have encountered slight integration issues."
"Some documentation is very hard to find."
"Ceph is not a mature product at this time. Guides are misleading and incomplete. You will meet all kind of bugs and errors trying to install the system for the first time. It requires very experienced personnel to support and keep the system in working condition, and install all necessary packets."
"If you use for any other solution like other Kubernetes solutions, it's not very suitable."
"Please create a failback solution for OpenStack replication and maybe QoS to allow guaranteed IOPS."
"It takes some time to re-balance the storage in case of server failure."
"Ceph does not deal very well with, or takes a long time to recover from, certain kinds of network failures and individual storage node failures."
"More cloud integration."
"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 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."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"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."
"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."
"The biggest area for improvement, and there has been some roadmap work in this area already, is cloud integration... Tintri has been investing in this area and I'm sure will continue to, but cloud integration has been the biggest area that we've been crossing our fingers and hoping for quick development around."
