Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."
"The initial setup was extremely simple and straightforward."
"It is very easy to install and configure. It has got excellent diagnostics. If you really need to see how the box is performing, the console gives you a lot of information. You can set thresholds as well as alerts based on the thresholds, which is a very powerful functionality. They are very proactive. They know how to monitor and manage the systems. They see a problem, and they are all over it before us. They see the problem before we see it, which is very 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 system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"Upgrades are super easy and can be done during business hours without interruptions in production."
"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"
"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"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 data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful."
"We had very good access to technical support."
"vSAN is very integrated."
"VMware vSAN's most valuable features are the capability to consolidate standalone physical infrastructure into virtualization and the ease of management."
"Everyone uses virtualization to more efficiently utilize hardware resources. That's the main point of vSAN and VMware."
"I have found that the multi-homing feature is very valuable in VMware vSAN. It is an easy-to-use solution."
"The solutions best feature is that it is easy to use."
"In my opinion, vSAN is the most natural way to migrate to a fully hyperconverged solution. If a customer needs a more scalable solution with consolidated management, vSAN is excellent."
"Provides good performance as well as integration with deployment tools."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"We would like to see VNC integration or be able to use Pure Storage with VNC."
"The software layer has to improve."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"We need better data deduplication."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"It is on the expensive side."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Their support staff just doesn't have the experience with all of the products that we're running. They don't know the 850 series like we do because it's five years old. There is a little bit of a gap, and that may just be because we're an old customer running on platforms that their staff hasn't seen. I would like to see an improvement in their in-depth knowledge of their older products."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them."
"More cloud integration."
"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."
"If we have some complicated issues, you have to use the command lines interface. Not everything is possible to be fixed in the GUI. This is a drawback, that some things have to be fixed via command-line interface and should be able to be done in the GUI."
"On the DevOps side, if there could be more automation it would be more helpful."
"There could be more features with the automatic backup."
"There is a room for improvement on the latest version of compatibility with the VMware product, especially for vSAN and with other vendors on their motherboards and driver configurations."
"The server files are larger than before."
"Licensing costs are a little too high for smaller sized companies."
"Pricing is something of a concern."
"I would like to see it be more hardware-agnostic. Other than that, the only other complication is - and it has gotten better with the newer versions - that lately, once you're running an all-flash, if you need to grow or scale down your infrastructure, it's a long process. You need to evacuate all data and make sure you have enough space on the host, then add more hosts or take out hosts. That process is a little bit complex. You cannot scale as needed or shrink as needed."
