We performed a comparison between Pure Storage FlashBlade 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 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."
"One of the best features is the support, which is excellent."
"The solution is very straightforward to set up."
"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."
"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is reliability."
"It has good, reliable, fast storage."
"The solution is able to handle workloads and is easy to use. It allows us to actually manage the boxes in less time."
"The ease of deployment and management has helped us simplify our storage. We also do not have to worry about capacity management as much. A lot of these things are native to Pure Storage."
"It uses the same platform for connectivity so integration is seamless."
"It has absolutely simplified our storage because the dashboards on the consoles show a clear understanding of where you are, and it is also very easy to provision. This been a big help for our teams."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its fast performance, especially in handling snapshots. It helps during power outages when we need to quickly move data between different data centers. It ensures efficient replication and helps maintain our data centers' uptime."
"It helps simplify our storage, because the user interface is very simple and the installation is easy."
"The main feature I have found to be product replication."
"The onboarding and integrated monitoring tools are pretty good."
"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"
"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."
"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."
"The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution was how fast it worked on behalf of VDI desktops."
"The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance."
"Its VM-aware features have been excellent to use and integrate with XenServer as well."
"It is fast and reliable. There hasn’t been a single failure in three years of use."
"I'd like to see the product implement active replication for vehicles such as VMware."
"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."
"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."
"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."
"We've seen that when we create a POD in synchronous mode, it increases the latency."
"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 need better data deduplication."
"File storage needs a lot of improvement. Mainframe connectivity also needs improvement because it requires additional components to be integrated with Pure Storage FlashBlade. If you want to keep your backup data, then this becomes an even more expensive solution because Pure Storage FlashBlade will not be able to meet your backup needs."
"I would like to see more VM-Aware features in the next release of this solution."
"In terms of scalability, it doesn't expand out quite as robustly as some of the others, but it covers 90% of the market in what it does."
"The technical support needs to improve. When we open a case, it is auto assigned to a support tech person. Nine out of ten times, we get an email right back saying that person is off until tomorrow. I cannot handle that. They just did this over the weekend to us, too. I had to call our rep and have them do something about it."
"I want efficiency. FlashBlade doesn't have efficiency now."
"I would like to see better integration."
"It's on the expensive side, as expected for a niche product."
"The Pure Storage Orchestrator is our biggest pain point at the moment. If we can have more say in future developments of feature sets that we will need to support for our use case, that would be pretty beneficial to us."
"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact 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."
"The product could be improved by adding iSCSI support. We have had to rethink how we implement some of our services due to this."
"In sync and automated mirror between two Tintris is missing."
"Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release."
