Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."The best feature is its ease of installation and integration within a current infrastructure."
"The solution provides great performance for the price it is listed with."
"Having the ability to migrate machines live in our environment was made possible by this software."
"The failover protection and the ability to expand storage and nodes with no downtime are by far the best physical features we have benefited from."
"The product has improved the ability to mimic physical SAN environments to demo scenarios and troubleshoot problems."
"This has helped to improve the reliability of service and operation in all departments, without having to stop in case of emergency situations."
"StarWind Virtual SAN for vSphere is a software-defined storage solution that has reduced administration time for storage. It's pretty straightforward to install and setup it and so far it has been robust and worked as advertised from StarWind."
"The Windows-based StarWind GUI is easy to use and understand and integrates seamlessly with VMware's vSphere portal as well."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the concept of hyper-convergence."
"Installation is straightforward because it's a vSAN. It only took one or two days."
"Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series' deployment is easy. We are a tier-one platinum partner who is into multiple implementations."
"We find the setup quite straightforward and very easy."
"The VX machines are scalable."
"Android app for monitoring and receiving push notifications as alarms or monitoring I/O from any mobile device could be a good feature and nice to have as we are not always on our desk."
"The documentation is good. However, if compared with competitors, it could be enhanced and made more professional."
"I did not see any indication that StarWinds vSAN is a usable solution with non-GUI instances of Hyper-V."
"I wish the sync after a failure, such as hardware failure or power-related issues, for example, was faster."
"An extended trial period would serve as a way to get clean insights into the technology's adaptability and alignment with their specific needs before committing to long-term integration."
"Initially, when we first started, the sync was horrible."
"StarWind Virtual SAN could benefit from better integration with other tools and technologies, such as backup and disaster recovery solutions."
"They need to invest more in the support documents for real issues happening when integrating the solution with the hypervisor."
"Lenovo ThinkAgile MX Certified Node’s support services could be faster."
"Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series needs to improve its stability. Its resolution should be faster."
"With the VX machines, the clients often confuse the hardware itself with the services and resources. VMs are configured according to resources - memory, hard disk capacity, and network. These resources, including memory and processor, are actually shared on the VX Series. So, if the server's processor is underpowered or unreliable for the VMs, many of the VMs will encounter issues. Ideally, the physical server configuration should align more closely with the needs of the virtual servers."
"Support could be better."
"The user management could be a bit better. It's something they could improve upon in future releases."
