We performed a comparison between INFINIDAT InfiniBox and VMware vSAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Enterprise SAN."This product has good performance."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"I like the tolerance of VMware vSAN."
"The simplicity, as well as the integration with virtualization."
"It has a single pane of glass for management and operational control, which is the most valuable feature. The integrated storage is also valuable."
"The valuable features are its scalability and the standardization - one size fits all. It's also intuitive and easy to use because one size fits all. Obviously, it scales out, but it's the same solution at every physical location I manage."
"Storage virtualization software with a good storage management feature. It's a scalable and stable software."
"It is scalable, overall. If you need to add storage, it makes it easy to scale by adding additional hard drives into the existing servers or you can add storage by just adding more servers."
"As a function of our core business, it's a sought after tool that helps us provide analytical support across a wide spectrum of client needs. It's allowed us to test out in our connected restaurant - "TheWorks" - a fully-functional restaurant experience center that allows our clients to discover the value of our connected solutions firsthand. We deploy vSAN in this customer-like environment within a hyperconvergent infrastruction (HCI) to give our clients a better understanding and help optimize data and the end-users' experience."
"I like the scalability and the fact that it reduces your total cost for storage over several years."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
"Integration could be better."
"Ease of administration is one area where vSAN could be improved."
"It would be ideal if clients didn't need to monitor the solution on a daily basis."
"I would like to see the availability of more template based VMware systems. Combined with the ability to check and measure multiple and converging data segments. Another issue I've seen is that the tool seems to be slow when first starting up."
"Some intelligence can be added to the newest version to provide more flexibility between storage tiers."
"Because of virtual storage, the system reaches reserve storage for its functions. It also consumes a certain amount of storage, which then results in the creation of a fault tolerance for the system. All of this adds to a lot of capacity being consumed in terms of storage for each drive for vSan. I find this to be one drawback of using vSan."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The product's complex setup phase is an area of concern where improvements are required."
