Tintri VMstore T7000 Reviews

The ease of use and management capabilities are the most valuable features for us. Tintri is incredibly easy to use and manage. The performance and its secret sauce, VM understanding and management, works great.

It has provided us with agility and allowed us the ability to have granular views of storage without having to be storage experts.

I've used it for four years.

We've had no issues with deployment.

We've had no issues with stability.

We've had no issues with scalability.

In my experience, Tintri's customer service has been excellent.

In my experience, Tintri's technical support has been excellent.

The initial setup was really intuitive. It was easy to install.

We implemented it with our in-house team.

Our customer don't call anymore for slowness on their VM's disks. Our engineers have much more time for more valuable things instead of storage management. Time to market enviable. Support hyper-reactive.

Simplicity of installation and management, high IOPS, management per VM, QoS, power and space saving.

More cloud integration.

Customer Service:

It's far above average.

Technical Support:

We always spoke with a senior engineer.

We switched for low IOPS and cost of management.

Directly from Tintri, very high professional level.

The cost of all the SW is well spent because it makes you save on backup and DR.

The most valuable features for me are the cloning and snapshot recovery functions.

Cloning new VMs using Tintri has saved me hours of waiting/work. It is the one feature that I use on a regular basis. Snapshot recovery is amazing as well. We rely on Tintri snapshots over VMware snapshots. They are so much easier to manage.

That’s tough. The thing is rock solid and easy to manage. Can’t think of anything right now, but reserve the right to revisit this.

The licensing model, however, is disappointing as each feature requires a license.

We've used it for three years.

The deployment was straightforward and easy! We had a POC and never sent the box back. We really didn’t even need an engineer, but it was nice to get the knowledge transfer of tips and tricks after setting the box up.

None so far in three years.

It scales as promised. You run out of resources, you buy another one. We have not hit the limit on any of our boxes yet.

A+ excellent! Love my Tintri guys. They understand our use case and help us find the best solution. They keep their finger on the pulse and get in touch with me when something is going on that I need to know about. Our vendor relationship is outstanding.

Maybe even better than customer service!!! I don’t want to hurt any feelings here but I probably talk to technical support a little more often than I do customer service so I am giving them A++. So far, I have always gotten a person when I called. None of that they will call me back stuff. I really appreciate that. I need to talk with someone when I call, not 4 hours from when I call.

We did – NetApp. We switched for a variety of reasons – cost, we felt like the technology was old and they were trying to retrofit to keep up with emerging technologies, we didn't like the licensing model they used (every feature seemed to require a license).

The initial setup is very straightforward.

We had a vendor team help us. Well, we lucky enough to have Trent Steele help us. That guy is just amazing.

Pricing is fair, but the licensing model is disappointing. Initially, we thought Tintri was going with a “you buy our box, you buy everything” to simplify the licensing, but they have gone down the NetApp road of licensing features. We really don’t like that. Big disappointment.

We evaluated several options, including

• Tegile
• EMC
• Nimble Storage
• Nimbus
• NetApp

Do it. If you are in the NFS virtual world, there is no better device.

Rack space, compression, ease of use, IOPS and latency performances, vSphere integration, centralized control

Much more time available for other project, new items to put into our catalogue to offer our customers

Integration with Commvault for native storage snapshots

1 month

Not at all, we had their technicians more than once at our sites, to explain and to install the boxes, at no extra cost.

Not yet, and I don't expect.

Well, this is one of the most important points: 1 rack for almost 1 PB!

Great. More than great. Reactive, no, proactive, via autosupport.

As explained above: wonderful.

Yes, we had NetApp FAS: switched because of performance but, worst at all, support cost after the first 3 years. Unsusteinable and with no justification

It's been smooth, asked for a couple of ports from our network guys, installed the needed SFP-- et voilà.

It was directly contacted Tintri Europe, and we were assisted by Zycko Italia. Nice support

Not my field

The cost could be the same as traditional vendors, but the product is totally superior.

Yes, all traditional ones from NetApp, to EMC, to HP and Huawei.

The ease of use is the most valuable feature. You just set up the VMstore in 15 minutes or less by connecting the network, giving a name and IP, and then adding DNS entries and permissions and you are off an running.

The storage is VMware, so it knows how to optimize performance for VMs, which is what we use exclusively in our modern data center. We never hit drive performance problems. Our headaches are gone after the switch!

Of course price can always be lower. Still working with support to enable more options for backup at this time, but we asked for features and they expect to deliver in the next month or two...nice to have a company that listens.

We've had no issues with deployment.

We haven't had any issues with stability.

We haven't had scalability issues.

They've listened to us when we requested more options for backup.

The price could be lower.

All of them. Tintri Snapshot, vCenter integration, powerCLI integration, the way you manage everything. Bye Bye time spent on managing storage arrays etc.

Bye bye managing storage array, to create volumes and taking care to isolate big IO consumers into the production environment. Huge improvement in creating adhoc labs, pre-prod environments and dev as well, in just few minutes, etc.

More than 3 years

Easy and fast to deploy.

No issues.

No issues.

Excellent!

Excellent!

Yes, we had to chose between Tintri and other vendor, we bought each of them and after running our tests we decided that Tintri fits best for us.

I definitely recommend Tintri as a storage array.

We use it for a hospital. 

The most valuable feature is the VM management. It has good technology. 

Make sure to do a POC. Then after that, put into production. You'll see that the technology is good. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten. 

The features are good but the brand name is not so popular here.

We have been using Tintri VMstore for two years. 

It is stable. 

We are a medium-sized enterprise. We have around 200 users. 

The initial setup is straightforward. It didn't take that long to deploy. 

The pricing is reasonable. 

For my role, I've found that the most valuable features are its ease and simplicity, especially with configuration. Tintri's support is also great.

Even though we brought it in less than a year ago, we've already found that it's improved the way we function by simply being easier to manage than the other products we've used as well as those we looked at.

Right now, we see that the configuration access isn't as good as it should be. An improvement in this area would be a huge help for us.

We implemented it recently, less than a year ago.

We've had no issues with deployment whatsoever.

We have yet to uncover any instability issues.

We haven't had to scale it that much yet, but we haven't had any issues.

The technical support at Tintri has been great so far.

We did not want to be locked down by a specific vendor or product, so we switched to Tintri.

The initial set up is very straightforward, almost plug-n-play.

We used a vendor team for the implementation.

As it's been under a year since we initially implemented, it's too soon to determine our ROI. But it looks good so far going forward.

Buy what you need and not what you want.

We evaluated solutions from NetApp and EMC.
