Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."The configuration is so much simpler than that of a traditional SAN with fewer points of failure to worry about."
"The primary purpose of this software is to create a virtual SAN between local storage on Hyper-V hosts. I find this feature most valuable since it accomplishes this quite well."
"This was a great implementation for a small to mid-size business."
"In the three years that we have been using StarWind, the product has yet to cause us any problems."
"The most valuable features are high availability and real-time replication between two servers."
"The access to our data is quicker and cheaper than it used to be in a traditional storage system."
"StarWind vSAN has allowed us to leverage our server infrastructure more completely without the need to add more hardware."
"Training is also easy as it is just one system to learn."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS has very good stability."
"The most valuable features are easy cloud administration and management."
"I definitely find the reduced power consumption very valuable."
"It's easy to use and has a very smooth onboarding process."
"The simplicity when it comes to building your own automation has been excellent."
"The level of statistical performance data that it can confirm in real-time is extremely useful. I can see what my VM’s hosts and guests are doing from a single pane of glass and identify issues before they would otherwise become apparent."
"A great feature involves real-time hardware changes."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is stable. We didn't receive any concerns regarding any problems, The customers have no concerns about the reliability."
"Red Hat is the most stable system."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"I can control and manage everything. I know everything that's cooking inside. This is the best part for me."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution makes migration easy."
"It is easy to deal with when comes to application migration and its compatibility with the multiple component applications."
"The solution is stable."
"For someone entering the IT sector with little knowledge of storage, iSCSI, and virtual disks, they might not find the GUI immediately obvious."
"For me, the product could be improved by it being made cheaper."
"I would like to see more user-friendly dashboards in future versions."
"A web management interface would be good, especially for those coming from other solutions that have one."
"The setup and documentation for the installation with the free version could definitely be improved."
"To enable the proactive support capability that is part of our support agreement, I would ask that the terms and conditions be revised and made acceptable to corporate security."
"Ongoing improvements in read and write performance would help meet increasingly demanding workloads."
"The initial setup got a little confusing at a few points with differences between the VMware version in documentation vs the latest, etc."
"The licensing cost could be lower."
"Storage utilization and optimization should be better."
"Nutanix now supports four hypervisors but they are not all at feature parity."
"The pricing of the solution is too high. It needs to be adjusted or lowered to be more competitive."
"I would like to see a fuller integration with the public cloud. It would help the user enter the hybrid cloud infrastructure."
"The one note of improvement I have for Nutanix is that the installation should be easier."
"The pricing model for software and hardware subscription renewals can be improved."
"One of the improvements I would like to have is related to naming. It is getting confusing because they are using three-letter acronyms, which are more or less misleading. What I do not like is that they changed names and reused names. They had a meaning in the past and they are still using the names for something similar."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"With RHEV, the cyberattacks should be fewer. I want RHEV to be better protected."
"RHEV can improve by keeping pace with new features and new enhancements. They should not be halted or delayed innovation because over the past quarter the enhancements have not been as fast as they have been previously."
"We hope that Red Hat can produce a paradigm edition. We are looking for paradigm computing and paradigm storage. Its scalability can be improved. It is not easy to scale, and we hope that Red Hat can provide a more scalable system. They should also provide local service and support. Our customers are looking for a good software vendor to provide professional services."
"The documentation is not as good as it should be."
"This solution could be more secure."
"Red Hat by itself is not scalable. But you can have third party add-ons like Ceph to make it massively scalable."
"In comparison to VMware, this solution isn't as stable. We're testing it right now, and we're not trusting the stability of the product."
