We performed a comparison between Tintri VMstore and VNX [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."It's simple, powerful, and ready to use."
"We're getting good performance, and the compression ratio is also very good in Pure Storage FlashArray."
"Pure Storage FlashArray's overall speed is its most valuable feature."
"It has made working with storage as easy and simple as it should be."
"The tool has reduced our power consumption."
"Its array houses our entire production environment."
"What I like most about this solution, is the speed, resiliency and scalability."
"Scalability is one of the best features. You can quickly add more. You can swap out the drives with larger sizes, you can add more shelves. All of that is perfect - the whole concept of keeping it modular..."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"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."
"The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"The ease and use and the great performance are why we went with our 2nd Tintri VMstore."
"Among the most valuable features are its granular replication, the ability to define asynchronous or synchronous replication, which gives us very definable RTOs and RPOs around that type of service, and granular quality-of-service configuration, which allows for cases where you've got multiple customers on a single Tintri, but you want to be able to offer strong quality-of-service metrics and KPIs."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"Tintri VMstore is rock solid. We have not had a single issue with stability. It is also very low maintenance allowing us to concentrate on project work."
"Good performance for VM environments"
"From my point of view, the configuration that I can sell is restricted to the EMC best practices. It is hard to make a mistake in a solution. It means the configuration has good performance and scalability options."
"Integration with VMware"
"FAST (auto-tiering): Doesn't require configuration and is managed by the array itself."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-tiering, which helps in the speed of data access."
"It is very stable, even during multiple power failures."
"Multi-tiering, positively affects the efficiency of the storage space."
"I really value deduplication and compression to save space."
"As partners, we should have the option to download the software, rather than have to go back through Pure to obtain it."
"I would like to have an easy way to determine the cost per VM so that I can present a solution to our customers."
"The credentials on the iSCSI interface are only available to type in with the Chrome browser, and not with the Firefox browser."
"What it needs to do is work a little closer with solutions, like VMware, so it understands the particular workloads that are on it. Today, it does not understand the applications which are running against it."
"From a scalability perspective, it is a very small storage solution, so it's not very expandable."
"The GUI could improve, it could be more intuitive. There is hidden functionality."
"The initial setup of the product is complex."
"I would like to have support available in Spanish."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
"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."
"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."
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"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."
"I would love more insight into each virtual machine statistic."
"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 administrative console (Navisphere/Unisphere) needs some improvement, especially on their Java-based GUI. The updated version of Java is not compatible."
"There is no easy way to defrag a RAID group. It would be nice to be able to reduce the size of a storage pool if the storage is not needed anymore."
"The CLI could be better documented, like with VMAX."
"It would be very helpful to get an automated report that shows you the size of the checkpoints and get warnings when a checkpoint is reaching either maximum capacity per a file system or hitting the ceiling on the SavVol pool consumption."
"The scalability is average because the storage has some hardware limitations and, obviously, operating system limitations."
"If the VNX had embedded encryption, that would be great."
"The management software used for the VNX is Unicenter. While it is an improvement over Navicenter, used in older EMC SANs, it still feels outdated in comparison to other SAN management software."
"EMC VNX needs to support bigger SSD and the Next Generation EMC Unity does this."
