Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."The solution provides great performance for the price it is listed with."
"They offer top-tier support."
"The access to our data is quicker and cheaper than it used to be in a traditional storage system."
"vSAN we found was simple to set up, easy to configure and manage and allows us to achieve storage redundancy."
"The configuration is so much simpler than that of a traditional SAN with fewer points of failure to worry about."
"This was a great implementation for a small to mid-size business."
"StarWind has provided us with a top-notch, well-supported, robust vSAN offering when other vendors have moved to hyper-converged solutions that are outside of our average clients' reach from a financial and resource perspective."
"Ten gigabit Ethernet compatibility, support, ease of use, and management are some positive features."
"The best feature of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is the central management of all of our resources. Additionally, it is easy to use"
"It has enterprise data services with consolidated storage data protection and disaster recovery. One valuable aspect is its efficiency as a robust platform. There is an ease of managing all processes. The data recovery process is remarkably fast. It’s a stable solution. The product is scalable. It provides high-speed live migration capability."
"One of the most valuable features is the One-Click Upgrade. When I need to update the system, I do it with one click. This product is amazing because everything is easy to manage, from network management to snapshots."
"It is a good solution and it is easy to work on their platform."
"Hyperconverged Infrastructure is the most valuable feature of Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure."
"Great flexibility and scalability."
"It gives us a single dashboard to control multiple sites and multiple zones. It helps to do things on a single platform and data sharing is quite easy. The network and the security are easy to manage."
"The speed of the operations and of creation of VM is fantastic."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward and well-documented. The process is very similar to its competitors. The success of your setup depends on how well you plan."
"Customers are moving to open source and Red Hat is the leader in this particular space. I think customers feel more confident running Red Hat Virtualization than VMware."
"We find the ease of use of this solution to be invaluable. It is user-friendly and integrates well with other software."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is a great all-round product. The virtualization is especially good."
"The solution is overall very good with all the facilities. It is user friendly, easy to configure, has documentation, and support is available."
"I would like additional documentation regarding possible networking configurations with 10GbE switching."
"High availability for direct attached hardware drives could be useful for increasing the performance of a storage appliance."
"The system failovers properly on its own without too much worry."
"If there are domain controllers inside the cluster, there needs to be some sort of logic allowing them to boot independently so all the rest of the domain clients can gain the authority they need to come online."
"Updating the software can be a bit tricky."
"An update caused a syncing issue and it took over a month to resolve it"
"I think the setup could be streamlined a bit."
"I'd love to see more clarification for us folks who are smart enough to do some damage yet not smart enough to use CLI."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve by having an auto-update feature. At this time I have to update each system manually. However, I bought the standard license and I did not buy the maximum license they have available. There could be a certain license that does the updates automatically."
"The technology has a lot of room for improvement. For example, when they want to segment applications in conjunction with NSX, which VMware uses, Acropolis is not compatible with the competitors. The integration in the security layer is not compatible with NSX for the application segmentation that uses VMware."
"The reporting feature isn't very good."
"If we can have certified compatibility with other companies, such as Oracle, then it would let us know that they function correctly together."
"We had a few problems with the foundation machine that you can use to build your systems out. We've got it working now, but it should be improved."
"The name of the solutions offered by Nutanix does not indicate what the tool does."
"In the future, I would like to see integration with external storage using the fiber channel"
"Make it easier to manage."
"Customers are not aware of this solution, they can improve by providing more awareness and solution availability."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"Specifically, enhancements in managing virtual machine migrations, cloning, and the creation of different VMs could further optimize its functionality."
"The support is tricky in a few places. We're facing some challenges within Malaysia where we don't really have the system integrators available who can provide extended support. When we need personnel on-site, we can't get them."
"The solution could use network virtualization."
"We would like the dashboard feature of this solution to be improved, as it is not very detailed at present."
