We performed a comparison between Dell Unity XT and Tintri VMstore T7000 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 latency is good."
"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"Overall stability is very good. It is a very stable solution."
"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."
"It's helped us because we've changed fundamentally what we talk about. We don't talk about storage and different tiers of storage anymore nor do we talk about servers. We talk now about applications and how applications impact the business and end users."
"Pure FlashArray X NVMe will quickly overcome all the hurdles you face, including network and latency issues."
"The high availability of the product is the most valuable feature."
"When I have an issue and need technical support, I reach out to them either through chat or by submitting a service request, and the response is good."
"The technical support is very professional and provides quick responses."
"We are happy with the way we have Dell EMC Unity XT configured."
"I like its performance and support."
"The NAS is also extremely easy to set up."
"My storage team likes Unity's replication features. Three-site replication is a unique feature that EMC offers us."
"We can sleep at night because the support is great."
"The valuable features of Unity include that it's flexible, has a friendly user-interface, and provides good performance."
"Performance, cost, and ease of storage management."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"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 has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"The most valuable feature is the VM management."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"It’s very good at IOPS."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"Our use cases require more multi-tenant capabilities and additional VLAN interfaces for separating different customers. We currently use it to provide storage, sometimes shared storage, to different customers, but it is less flexible in comparison to a dedicated solution."
"I would like to see replication and DR features in the next release of this solution."
"It is on the expensive side."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"Every time I think of something that needs to improve, they're one step ahead, which I love. The only area I wish to see improve, I believe is coming, is in the FlashBlade product. Blade implementation fell short on a few of the services."
"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"One area of improvement is replication. We are also using Oracle virtual machines, and when you are using systems from other vendors, the process of replicating from Unity through OLVM is more laborious than when we were using VPLEX."
"As the solution continues to grow and gain more traction, things will come up that will just continue to deepen the integration between VMware, vCenter, and all those other components. Anything in the divisibility there and additional tools is always great."
"The VNX reporting is much more granular, versus the Unity reporting."
"There are a lot of things that can be done with it. It's got Cloud IQ, but I think it's not as mature as it could be, they could make it more effective. They could make it more comparable to some of the other products out there that have cloud analytics. The amount of insight that the Unity product is able to give, at this point, is okay, but not class-leading. Some of the other data-reduction technologies, like deduplication, are not to the level of other competitors and what their products provide."
"Scalability for the 650F is good, but I was expecting a little bit more."
"Inline dedup compression security is coming up as an issue, encryption, etc. is key for our customers. If we could have more ways to do software-based encryption, those are the features customers are asking us for, as well as replication."
"It could be a little easier to attach it to a network file system."
"Include cloud-based replication for blocks"
"We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."
"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."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"The Tintri Analytics site is excellent for long-term trending, but more data would be great."
"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."
"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."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
