Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."High Availability is the best feature of product."
"One of the most valuable features is the way it sets up the virtual SAN, because we don't have to buy a separate appliance for storage. It uses the existing storage on the servers, which is definitely a cost savings for us."
"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 ROI is great on this product."
"StarWind Virtual SAN is a very mature software that supersedes its capabilities with my use cases."
"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."
"Support keeps track of alerts of the system and verifies with us if we need help to fix any issues. They have great and quick technical support."
"The failover redundancy is why we bought this product and it has never let us down."
"The most valuable features are the full image backup, and the file or document sharing, allowing documents to be easily accessed from anywhere."
"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."
"Sangfor HCI has a bundle of security features that are easy to monitor on the HCI dashboard."
"I find the simplicity of Sangfor very valuable. It is easy to configure and user-friendly. The overall user experience as well as the usability of Sangfor is outstanding."
"I would rate the user-friendliness an eight out of ten."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"Sangfor HCI is a one-stop solution that enables you to store and centrally manage your VMs."
"Sangfor has many solutions, and you can easily manage their machine servers with just one management. They're always striving for greatness, and they continuously update their products. For example, they have now built endpoint security within the firewall. They are continuously improving not only the security but also all other products."
"It is flexible like a hyper-convergence system. You can add nodes, and you can scale to have better performance and stability. I also like the backup feature, the recovery system, and the web interface GUI to handle everything."
"The Continuous Data Protection (CDP) feature is one of the good features."
"I'd love to see native export of metrics (via Prometheus or something of that nature) to allow us to get more metrics available on our existing dashboard software."
"High availability for direct attached hardware drives could be useful for increasing the performance of a storage appliance."
"We just need more integration with Veeam."
"It took a bit of knowledge and support to put in place but once installed it works fine. Migration (HyperV) from one server to another sometimes takes longer than expected but there is no data loss even if the host crashes."
"If there was one feature I would like to see it would be a built-in subsystem for managing UPS backups shutdown procedures providing a way to initiate VM shutdown on all host servers, shut down the host servers, then put the fault-tolerant mirroring in standby, and finally shut down the StarWind SANs."
"I would like to see more user-friendly dashboards in future versions."
"It is hard to find adequate technical documentation on their support website."
"We don't really have any issues with this product."
"If they could make improvements with the virtual environment then it would be better."
"I would like to see real-time backup supported in the next release of this solution."
"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."
"Lacks network support."
"Sangfor HCI has room for improvement in terms of integration. So, the integration with Sangfor HCI is not as extensive as in Nutanix."
"Sangfor could improve its built-in CAP system. Right now, we need to use an external tool for CAP."
"I would want the product to include Continuous Data Protection (CDP) which can help to easily retrieve the data."
"It can have more compatibility and new features. I would also like to see better performance. Some of the other HCI solutions already provide the SSD and flash storage and much higher Intel processors. Sangfor HCI can improve on that."
"As far as I know, no hyper-convergence solution includes security, so you have to buy security from another brand. For example, you buy SimpliVity or Nutanix. They don't really have a security solution inside the product. It would be good if there is a security solution inside this solution so that it is not only for the virtualization of CPU, RAM, disk, and network but also for security."
"The error reporting needs to be improved."
"We have had issues while integrating VMware with Sangfor HCI. The tool should be also faster in terms of customization."
