Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."Having the ability to migrate machines live in our environment was made possible by this software."
"This software lets us maintain storage redundancy across both of our Hyper-V hosts, so if one goes down the environment fails over to the other and we have minimal to no downtime."
"The available GUI is excellent for monitoring and operating the system in an easy and direct way."
"In the three years that we have been using StarWind, the product has yet to cause us any problems."
"I've been really impressed with it so far. I think it's pretty great, actually. It does exactly what we need it to do, and it does it well, so I would recommend it. Plus, the support has been very good."
"It has allowed us to save a lot of time and money by letting us create a vSAN within a Windows VM on the environment it controls."
"The most valuable feature for us is having the ability to configure our local storage using a limited number of disks and using the StarWind VSAN software to keep the cluster nodes in perfect sync."
"The StarWind VSAN is always up and allows us to move VMS to other nodes for maintenance, without interruption to service."
"The speed of the operations and of creation of VM is fantastic."
"They have one of the best technical supports in my experience."
"It is very easy to clone systems using the solution."
"Technical support is okay."
"The management interface of this solution is great."
"Its low maintenance is a key feature. It is easy to install, upgrade, and scale by adding more blocks."
"The solution offers impressive performance."
"I can use VMware or Hyper-V license, if I already have. But if I use a similar solution as Nutanix Acropolis hypervisor (AHV) that comes embedded in Nutanix solution, I can manage all my virtual environments with everything I need without spend more money on licenses."
"Sync to Central and edge protection mitigate my risk in our branch offices. All services that need to be local to the user exist on local servers. Users run applications and access data locally while the data is constantly being synced to Central, and protected. If an edge device fails, we can recover quickly."
"There is no Italian-language version of the software available."
"Our company was hoping for deduplication and encryption across HCI. That is currently not supported."
"I would like to see different levels of support offered."
"We just need more integration with Veeam."
"I would like additional documentation regarding possible networking configurations with 10GbE switching."
"Some of the documentation seems to be a bit older and refers to deprecated items."
"I would like an automated installation/configuration despite the fact that their service is very collaborative, a customer should be able to deploy the solution by themselves."
"It would be nice to see a new UI for the windows client, as it is not the easiest to find settings."
"One of the very important things that I would like to see in Nutanix, but I'm not sure if it's in the roadmap or not, is to have some kind of caching optimization at remote sites, to build active-active data centers more easily."
"One of the improvements I would like to have is related to naming. It is getting confusing because they are using three-letter acronyms, which are more or less misleading. What I do not like is that they changed names and reused names. They had a meaning in the past and they are still using the names for something similar."
"I would like them to update their licensing to provide more features with their basic license."
"Reduce its power consumption."
"Nutanix needs to improve network features like Passthrough – SR-IOV. It could be improved by supporting SR-IOV, if they had that support, I would not have needed to implement the VMWare vSAN."
"Nutanix could streamline Acropolis' advanced management to keep pace with its competitors. For example, in VMware vSphere ESXi Hypervisor, you can directly put a host into maintenance mode via the GUI. However, it takes several steps to do this with Nutanix Acropolis, and you need to use the command-line interface for most of the steps."
"I would like to see a fuller integration with the public cloud. It would help the user enter the hybrid cloud infrastructure."
"There should be a little more access to Nutanix files."
"Setting up disks for use is a multi-step process that could use some refinement. Setting up a core-to-core replication or DR strategy is also cumbersome."
