Prominent pros & cons

PROS

It offers significant speed enhancements, particularly for VDI desktops and overall performance.
It allows for scaling up to ten VM storages and managing 500 VMs through a single pane of glass.
The data encryption feature enhances security without affecting performance.
Real-time replication and high redundancy levels are key features.
It integrates well with VMware, providing detailed insights into each VM's performance and network latency issues.

CONS

Technical support is an area where several issues were encountered, and it was hard to get support in a specific case.
Detailed reporting is missing in the current version and users would like to see this feature added in a new release.
There is a need for more options to integrate with cloud storage other than AWS and IBM currently supported.
The support staff lacks experience with older products, resulting in a gap in knowledge.
Integration with Microsoft Azure is desired as Tintri's Cloud Connector currently only supports AWS and IBM Cloud.
 

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.

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.

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

It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!
 

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.

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.

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.

The Tintri OS and GlobalCenter software do a great job of showing you troubled VMs, however it still could be a bit more helpful in diagnosing the issues.
