We performed a comparison between Pure Storage FlashArray 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."Pure has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."
"The high availability of the product is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"FlashArray has some fresh efficiency features. I've never seen a storage solution with a compression rating this high before. It's at least 4-to-1 on Oracle databases. It's the best flash storage for Oracle."
"The most valuable features of Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its superior performance compared to other flash tiers, as well as its ease of use, with an intuitive user interface that is simple to deploy and use."
"The solution is scalable."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"We're able to get higher-density workloads on the same infrastructure, and we have a smaller physical footprint. The performance is excellent – during our test the bottlenecks are never on the X array, it just keeps picking up the pace to match what you need. The real-time visibility is a differentiator in my opinion."
"Pure gives us better compression, it's easier to manage, a lot less hands-on."
"The amount of throughput that we're getting is really nice."
"The performance of the storage is just unbelievable."
"The amount of data that I have moved to it from legacy storage has enabled us to retire units that are three or four times the physical size."
"It simplifies storage."
"It is easy to manage. You don't have to have the same people who used to manage the Dell EMC arrays because the solution is more intuitive."
"Pure Storage FlashArray's overall speed is its most valuable feature."
"It's easy to use, and the maintenance upgrades to get free controllers work really well."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"Web GUI for maintenance and resource monitoring purposes is easy to use."
"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance."
"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."
"Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving."
"A very good support team that is available 24/7. They have real technical staff with strong knowledge."
"It’s very good at IOPS."
"Fast deployment for virtual machines"
"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"We would like to see more visibility into garbage collection and CPU performance in the GUI."
"In the next release, I would like to see real-time analytics for further insight into consumption models."
"Many options to check performance, like read, writes, random writes, and random reads, are missing in Pure FlashArray X NVMe."
"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."
"If the customer only needs 500 terabytes and doesn't care how much data they'll put in the server, IBM is cheaper than Pure."
"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."
"Had some issues with Purity not being entirely compatible with VMware ESXi."
"We've had it in place for about a year and a half and have had zero complaints, other than that box-to-box replication is not encrypted."
"The time-to-market could be better at times, but I think that's true for all vendors of hardware."
"In the next release, I would like to see file-level encryption."
"It was not proactive communication."
"I would like some performance analytics which go deeper than today. It should be specific to some hosts and applications. This would be good."
"The GUI could improve, it could be more intuitive. There is hidden functionality."
"The product should improve its response time. I have also encountered issues with its configuration."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Tintri need to be able to innovate faster but maintain the quality of their features."
"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."
"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."
"Active/active cluster between two Tintris on Hyper-V cluster."
