User Testimonials
	IBM Storwize (now part of FlashSystems)	Tintri VMstore
Likelihood to Recommend	IBM Storewize is widely used in organizations for on-premises with a lot of facilities that are given by this IBM Storewize. Data accessibility is very good and fast in this system. This system is available with different data services such as scalability and flexibility in data even providing security to our data. Incentivized MK Mushtaqu Khan Regional Business Manager Read full review	I do not see any reason why anyone would not use Tintri as backend storage for anything. Tintri is flash storage so it's a bit more expensive than your regular backend storage but the speed is amazingly fast. Building virtual machines on Tintri storage cuts down server deployment time by 75% Incentivized Frank Curatolo Network Administrator llI Read full review
Pros	Data processing and IO. The Storwize devices are very resilient in how they process data and do not have a drop in IO when errors occur (common errors such as disk failures and lost paths). Storage efficiency management. We are able to use multiple efficiency techniques such as thin provisioning and data reduction to reduce our budget footprint. Easy to use interfaces. Creating a volume and mapping to a host has proven to be a very easy process and makes onboarding less stressful for our team. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Extremely simple design and intuitive user interface. This allows me to get the information I need and perform the tasks I need with very few clicks. Incredibly fast; IOPS constraints are no longer even a consideration, let alone an issue. Excellent support; these appliances almost never have issues, but if something does arise, technical support is fast and knowledgeable. I talk directly with someone who can help me, not go through the escalation chain. Incentivized Shawn Umansky Network Engineer Read full review
Cons	As a business partner looking to provide services to keep the uptime of the Storwize, I would like to have the capability to pull reports from IBM Storage Insights to assist my clients in managing their system through it's lifecycle. More knowledge out there for partners to best integrate IBM Storwize with IBM Power i. This seems to be lacking in communication from IBM. Incentivized Bill Raines Technology Sales Specialist Read full review	Some of the documentation for System Center Virtual Machine Manager and Hyper V setup was unclear Incentivized Frank Curatolo Network Administrator llI Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Simpler to use. Storwize is reliable and is using IBM technology and not some unknown application. Proven performance and easy to stack and configure. Sizing is simple and the options are more than I need for my business. Rack compatibility is something you may not realize until you install one or more of the units. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	We chose Tintri because it allowed us to no longer have to carefully manage our storage platform. We pretty much set it and forget it. Also, management of Tintri does not require a storage expert. This is no longer a full time job to manage. Incentivized Shawn Umansky Network Engineer Read full review
Return on Investment	I would like to highlight the most positive aspect I have seen in the products of the IBM Storwize family, and it is the ROI that we can choose when we offer real-time compression with the IBM V7000 family. In truth, this feature is excellent, and we have seen how customers save storage resources, rack space, power and management. Incentivized FG fredy garcia Presale Read full review	Great predictive on performance and each VM and database gets resource needed. Real-time analytics that provides visibility with value. Copy data management speeds that helps accelerate productivity. Incentivized Angelica Cavalli Senior Software Engineer Read full review
