"Immediately we noticed huge performance gains, even on older hardware and once we implemented a 10GB link between both servers, the sync was near-instant after the initial sync was complete."
"The best feature is its ease of installation and integration within a current infrastructure."
"It has allowed me to effectively and confidently manage the maintenance of hosts where I can power off a host and have its VMs migrate to another one."
"They offer top-tier support."
"The install itself is easy as pie."
"Being hardware agnostic is a must and definitely scored points for us."
"Integration with virtualization platforms helped us to resolve many issues we were facing while using the physical storage."
"The StarWind products have enabled our organization to modernize stations where larger and more expensive equipment was not an option."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is the multi-tenancy model, we can create customers and services for them."
"The most valuable features are the full image backup, and the file or document sharing, allowing documents to be easily accessed from anywhere."
"Most beneficial feature is simplicity, ease of use."
"The most valuable feature I have found to be the Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV)."
"Prism Central allows managing the cluster from a single pane of glass, and it allows a deeper dive into the solution."
"The most valuable feature is Move, which allows you to migrate virtual machines from VM to AHV."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"In general, being able to patch and not having to pay for SanDisk is the best thing about hyper-converged."
"We like that the size of the box is 1U or 2U only, and all the servers are fit into that box. The ease of operation is there. All the servers and the SAN storage are inside the box."
"This is a complete, very user-friendly product."
"Our company was hoping for deduplication and encryption across HCI. That is currently not supported."
"Currently, the StarWind management console is a bit clunky to navigate and isn't the most user-intuitive interface."
"Proper training sessions should be included with the licensing."
"Regular updates to the software are required, and subtle design changes would be welcome."
"Although minor, some of the documentation could be rewritten to be clearer."
"I think the setup could be streamlined a bit."
"The only way I can see this product needing improvement is the consultation level of the StarWind sales and engineers."
"It would be great if it provided thin provisioned virtual disks."
"If they could make improvements with the virtual environment then it would be better."
"Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is too populated. They have many features, but some features are still missing, it is not complete. They need to improve many features, such as email security and disaster recovery."
"I would like to see real-time backup supported in the next release of this solution."
"The patch updates of Nutanix Acropolis could be improved. I'm work on the corporate side, but I get feedback from our IT team that patch updates and other updates are taking a significantly longer time. This definitely needs to be resolved. We are in discussion with Nutanix regarding certain configuration issues we are having, so maybe something can be changed to ease these patch updates."
"The cost of the solution is too expensive. There are other options, such as VMware, that are offered for less money. In Latin America, it seems to be overpriced for the market."
"Limits on increasing space with the inability to have or attach external storage."
"Pricing and varieties of options could be better."
"Areas for improvement would be the memory setting and the CPU setting reserve features, which are not available on Acropolis. I also feel that the DR solution, the reporting, and the component that is combined with the Nutanix OSP need to be improved."
"Usually, there are separate administration teams that take care of servers, but in our organization, servers are usually looked after by the application owner. However, the application owners cannot reinstall the software, OS, and other things. That only aligns with the role of the HCI administrator. If these rights can be provided, it will be very easy."
"They have offered some new features that I have not deployed so I assume that these issues might have been addressed already, but, at my time there was a networking problem."
"We ran into an issue as a managed service provider because Acropolis isn't designed to be used the way we are running it. For example, if we want to deploy a Kubernetes service, the customer networks need to reach our protected cluster network. We have isolated our customers in separate VLANs. However, our customers' networks must access our cluster network to get features like iSCSI or Kubernetes to run. It's challenging."
