Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."It provided the much-needed HA on an extremely low budget."
"The best feature is its ease of installation and integration within a current infrastructure."
"The configuration is so much simpler than that of a traditional SAN with fewer points of failure to worry about."
"The management was very easy and I was able to find all that I need in the software dashboard."
"StarWind vSAN is easy to deploy and administer."
"The install itself is easy as pie."
"StarWind vSAN was very easy to integrate into our system and ran flawlessly during our entire use time."
"StarWind SANs come with outstanding support."
"Best features are around data locality, compression, and deduplication."
"We have had good feedback from our customers about this solution."
"What's best about Nutanix Acropolis AOS is its simplicity. It's simple to install and simple to understand. The technical support and support portal for this product are both very good and very helpful."
"This is a complete, very user-friendly product."
"We really love the Lifecycle manager and one-click upgrades."
"Hyperconverged Infrastructure is the most valuable feature of Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure."
"I can use VMware or Hyper-V license, if I already have. But if I use a similar solution as Nutanix Acropolis hypervisor (AHV) that comes embedded in Nutanix solution, I can manage all my virtual environments with everything I need without spend more money on licenses."
"We are suggesting Nutanix to the management because of scalability and time efficiency."
"When you run templates on the containers on Virtuozzo they have a lot of back-ups."
"I would say that the documentation is mostly great, however, some features could be expanded upon a bit."
"An update caused a syncing issue and it took over a month to resolve it"
"We have, in rare cases, received conflicting guidance between different support folks within StarWind."
"Although minor, some of the documentation could be rewritten to be clearer."
"The documentation could be a little more concise, but, for the most part, it just works."
"I see no need for major improvements but there could be some improvements in the form of notifications and the simplifying of maintenance mode."
"We would like to see the documentation more fully developed."
"StarWind Virtual SAN could benefit from better integration with other tools and technologies, such as backup and disaster recovery solutions."
"They could improve the graphical user interface."
"As Nutanix Acropolis AOS is on the expensive side, one of its areas for improvement is the price. It would also be better if it can be integrated with other cloud providers, because currently, it's only for private cloud deployment."
"With some projects that we are deploying, there are errors that arise when adding nodes."
"The product could be improved with more security. The product needs a bit more experience in the market. I think you don't have the possibility to add other hardware. It could be improved with the ability to add and extend."
"One thing I've noticed is that, when you do a shift from VMware to Nutanix, it opens the setup of the VM that's currently running. If people from another site double click on it, it opens the VM instead of the setup of the unit. So I would suggest that this could perhaps be switched. That is so far the only change I would like. I would like it if they could fix the instance where you double click on a VM and it opens the VM instead of the setup. That's the only thing that's a major bother to me."
"The cost of the solution is too expensive. There are other options, such as VMware, that are offered for less money. In Latin America, it seems to be overpriced for the market."
"We ran into an issue as a managed service provider because Acropolis isn't designed to be used the way we are running it. For example, if we want to deploy a Kubernetes service, the customer networks need to reach our protected cluster network. We have isolated our customers in separate VLANs. However, our customers' networks must access our cluster network to get features like iSCSI or Kubernetes to run. It's challenging."
"I would like to see more Kubernetes and container-related workflows and multiple cloud-partner management. I would also like to see how they will synergize all these AI/ML functionalities that are available on other platforms."
"Odin Virtuozzo has poor support and needs to improve."
