"Having the ability to migrate machines live in our environment was made possible by this software."
"The customer support provided by StarWind is excellent."

"The initial setup is simple. We were able to deliver the hyper-convergence solution in a very good time."
"The most valuable features of the Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series are the ease of use and simple configuration."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the product's deployment phase is pretty easy."

"I would like them to invest time in reducing the complexity of the startup and shutdown procedure."
"Server-side snapshots are one thing the Linux appliance can't do yet."
"Sometimes documentation on their site can be out of date."

"I would like to see more monitoring and alert tools."
"Although minor, some of the documentation could be rewritten to be clearer."
"Here in Nigeria, the only challenge that we have, which I think is also experienced globally is the delay in bringing in the spare parts. This is a challenge facing our country, such as the Forex market. However, this is beyond the control of Lenovo themselves."
