"It has a nice, simple control panel. You can clearly see the state and health of storage along with the synchronization."
"Using our own choice of HW allowed us to price our service to answer our customers' needs."
"The most useful aspect is the hyper-converged SD SAN and the ease to expand it by just adding cheap SSD or NVME disks."

"The interface of the management console of the StarWind Virtual SAN is complex, and it's difficult for the novice user to interact with the management having less knowledge or training in the product."
"It should reclaim white spaces after big files are deleted."
"I'd prefer it if a remote console was provided."
"It is hard to find adequate technical documentation on their support website."

"Lenovo ThinkAgile MX Certified Node’s support services could be faster."
"Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series needs to improve its stability. Its resolution should be faster."
"Support could be better."
"With the VX machines, the clients often confuse the hardware itself with the services and resources. VMs are configured according to resources - memory, hard disk capacity, and network. These resources, including memory and processor, are actually shared on the VX Series. So, if the server's processor is underpowered or unreliable for the VMs, many of the VMs will encounter issues. Ideally, the physical server configuration should align more closely with the needs of the virtual servers."
"The user management could be a bit better. It's something they could improve upon in future releases."
