Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."Data is stored in two different places, leveraging more security and availability. Therefore, network problems are having less affect on iSCSI."
"A company can scale it easily."
"Thin provisioning lets us get the most value from the hard drives."
"All of the administrative tasks are easy and everything is centralized."
"It appears to be very stable and very robust."
"StoreVirtual is that it is our software-defined solution and it's everywhere."
"A very flexible solution."
"HPE StoreVirtual is very easy to use from the management console."
"It offers very useful data protection."
"The hyperconvergence service, as well as the DR solution, are game-changers for Nutanix."
"It has been stable so far."
"There are a lot of features in Nutanix that are different from other hyper-converged solutions, such as site-to-site replication. VM-based site-to-site replication is bundled with the software licensing. For the DR, it has the availability groups, which is one of the key features that Nutanix provides."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is easy to use, it is a great platform."
"The features that I have found most valuable include its HA facility, viability, robustness, flexibility, it's time to go live is very short, and it has a friendly user interface."
"The most valuable feature I have found to be the Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV)."
"It is all-in-one. The compute processing, storage, and network altogether make it convenient. We don't have to have different modules for expansion."
"The initial setup could be simplified to make it easier for new users."
"The solution needs to ensure it is on par with the industry in terms of availability of features and various other options."
"The product is coming to end-of-life in the next three years."
"One of the areas that need improvement is the consolidated management platform, to manage all of the nodes from one place and the licensing around that."
"It would be nice if there were more parts available in Brazil and HPE could swap out faulty equipment quicker."
"User interface could be improved."
"Hardware and disk failures are happening frequently."
"f you're doing the 10Gb adapters, SFPs don't come with it, but it doesn't say that. It might say that somewhere else, but it's not clear."
"The scalability of the solution had some issues because there were many VMs and the replication ran into some bottlenecks. It was an issue that was known to Nutanix and it was not disclosed to the customer."
"They need to improve the look and feel of the interface. The functionality is fine, but the appearance could be better."
"I would have liked it if Nutanix were a hardware as well as a software platform."
"Notifications could be improved as they're not currently very useful."
"Setup can be a little difficult"
"I would like to see them utilize the spare storage that they use as a redundant space. I feel that now a lot of resources are wasted just for standby purposes because we are using data protection. Instead of utilizing those resources only when something happens, they can have an alternative so that we can utilize these resources all the time."
"Nutanix should improve AHV to support migration VMs between clusters and storage containers. Migration between containers is possible, but it requires shutting down the VM. The procedure is long and there is no migration between clusters at all."
"While the customer support is truly incredible, for Spanish speakers it would be appropriate to have support in their native language to further improve problem-solving conditions."
