PROS

Users appreciate the ease of use and high performance, leading to the purchase of multiple Tintri VMstore T7000 units.
Its per-VM reporting and integration with hypervisors provide valuable insights and detailed reports.
Simplicity in installation, management, high IOPS, and power and space efficiency are highly valued.
Tintri VMstore T7000 ensures stable operations and requires minimal maintenance, allowing focus on project work.
Features like deduplication, block-level cloning, and VM snapshots enhance storage capabilities and performance.

CONS

Tintri VMstore T7000 lacks the ability to add more storage capacity without purchasing an additional separate array.
Tintri VMstore T7000's replication capabilities are basic, prompting users to seek third-party solutions for critical data replication.
Tintri VMstore T7000 would benefit from improved cloud integration, beyond AWS and IBM, to include platforms like Azure.
Tintri VMstore T7000 could be enhanced by adding support for protocols such as iSCSI, as this limitation requires users to reconsider their service implementations.
Technical support for Tintri VMstore T7000 has been reported as insufficient, particularly in terms of in-depth knowledge of older products.
 

Tintri VMstore T7000 Pros review quotes

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.

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.

I love that Tintri VMstore is so easy to use and manage on a daily basis as well as in the long term. It is hands-off and runs seamlessly without needing daily management. It allows you to go on vacation knowing that everything will work and remain top-notch.

Its performance is amazing. Since I have put Tintri in, I haven't had a complaint from anybody about slowness. On top of that, there is block-level cloning and the ability to spin up VMs.

I like Tintri's Global Admin feature and the solution's performance. It's incredibly fast storage, which was a significant upgrade for us when we deployed it seven years ago. The Tintri snapshots are brilliant and incredibly reliable.

The ability to snap machines into VMware quickly is valuable.

We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful.

We have been able to scale up to ten VM storages and 500 VMs through a single pane of glass.

The cloning is very fast... Another aspect I like is that it's very simple. It's an easy GUI to use.

I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain
 

Tintri VMstore T7000 Cons review quotes

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.

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.

VMstore as a product is an appliance. It is normal hardware. When there are new releases of, for instance, VMware vSphere, it can sometimes take time on the Tintri side to support that. It can take longer than expected. Tintri could improve by ensuring shorter times for support and compatibility when there are new releases from partners like VMware or Microsoft.

I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet.

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.

It would be beneficial if Tintri could identify issues through telemetry and notify us before we need to contact them.

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.

Detailed reporting is missing in the current version. We would like to see this feature added in a new release.

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.

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.
