Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."The ease of use is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the robustness, which is typical of IBM because their software generally just works."
"It is a good solution and it is easy to work on their platform."
"The HCI environment itself is very intuitive. Everything is centralized under one solution. And, they also have fast server built in in addition to a network analyzer."
"In addition to the hyper-converged infrastructure, most of our clients are pleased with Acropolis' built-in replication in terms of the DR setup. Our clients also like Prism Central's advanced management and analytics, and many find Nutanix Flow and playbooks incredibly useful."
"Technical support is okay."
"I definitely find the reduced power consumption very valuable. Another aspect I really like, when one compares Citrix to VMware, is the interface where you talk directly to your VM from the present software."
"It supports multi-cloud integration that includes AWS, Google, and Azure."
"In general, being able to patch and not having to pay for SanDisk is the best thing about hyper-converged."
"The cloud features in-site offering, which I found to be very interesting."
"The reporting mechanisms need improvement."
"he interface is not user-friendly so the ease of use could be improved."
"To have internal stability, we needed to network the solution ourselves. Performance depends on the application. Performance could be the lack of IOPS, memory and CPU and configuration issues."
"The reporting feature isn't very good."
"I would like to see Acropolis add the ability to migrate VMs between storage containers. I don't know if they've added this in the latest versions, but I haven't seen it yet. It's mainly about AHV. When we use VMware, we can move between storage containers. In VMware, it's just like regular storage, and we can move it."
"Nutanix can be a bit complex to understand."
"It does not have good backup feature tools, like having templates or being able to back up every two or three days."
"We would like to see a cloud version of Acropolis AOS. Currently, we're trying to implement an AWS environment for some solutions, but we would like to use another technology also to enhance our organization, so we are looking for another technology for this, especially a cloud solution."
"There is room to enhance the micro-segmentation."
"The product needs improvement in the areas of SAN attachment for high capacity and high I/O profile workloads."
