Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."It enables us to provide more solution options for our clients, with the reassurance that, when implemented, they will be efficient and stable."
"StarWind Virtual SAN is a highly flexible solution, as it can be deployed on physical servers or on top of virtual machines running on hypervisors such as VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V."
"Recovery and maintenance are now less stressful and most importantly, it allows our users to keep working."
"It has allowed us to save a lot of time and money by letting us create a vSAN within a Windows VM on the environment it controls."
"The virtual tapes can be uploaded to the object storage of your choice with object locking/governance which gives you an extra layer of protection."
"The best feature is its ease of installation and integration within a current infrastructure."
"A great feature is that I basically set it and forget it, as everything is automatic."
"The fact that I can now count on a true failover solution is what is most appealing."
"One of the main features of the solution is that it works on many hypervisors. It is a big advantage. Additionally, the solution is compatible with VMware and Hyper-V, and the management interface, which is called Prism, is very intuitive and user-friendly."
"The initial setup was quite straightforward."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It has enterprise data services with consolidated storage data protection and disaster recovery. One valuable aspect is its efficiency as a robust platform. There is an ease of managing all processes. The data recovery process is remarkably fast. It’s a stable solution. The product is scalable. It provides high-speed live migration capability."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is easy to use, it is a great platform."
"Their Google operating system is more mature, so their results are much better."
"Ease of deployment"
"The solution is extremely scalable."
"I have a program on my old machine with 380 events, but I need to create new events. This is much easier to do with VFXTHs, and I have the skills to do it. I also have two VPNs running on the old machine, which I can use to get started."
"We are happy with Proxmox VE. We use it as part of a cluster."
"The setup is very easy."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Proxmox VE is its storage."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is migration."
"The solution is open source and free to use."
"The main thing I would like to see improved is the level of documentation."
"Proper training sessions should be included with the licensing."
"Improvements in documentation and support resources could enhance the user experience."
"Being able to run StarWind vSAN on top of any free UNIX operating system to build a resilient iSCSI/FTP/SMB storage system would be useful."
"This is a great product."
"The documentation could be clearer in terms of explaining the installation."
"The configuration can a bit cumbersome."
"I had issues locating the documentation that applied to my version of StarWind vSAN."
"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."
"There is room to enhance the micro-segmentation."
"In the licensing, it needs to be clear about features because it is not clear whether Flow is integrated or not."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is new technology in a competitive market. Pricing is too high for a new product and requires better discounts to be able to compete with IBM, Dell EMC, and HP."
"Could have better visibility with the main OEM backup integrators."
"Nutanix now supports four hypervisors but they are not all at feature parity."
"The product needs improvement in the areas of SAN attachment for high capacity and high I/O profile workloads."
"Nutanix has a complex infrastructure, we have customers that consider VMware instead. Additionally, the performance could be better."
"It would be nice to have total CPU and RAM allocations show for all VMs/CTs to avoid overloading an individual hypervisor."
"The management can be better. It's not like VMware where you can get all clusters on a single dashboard. In VMware, you can literally see all the VMs running in one cluster regardless of the host."
"The solution can be improved by making it more secure and scalable."
"We are facing issues with disk utilization and disk performance."
"Proxmox VE can improve by importing OVF or OVA files directly from OVA. I need to convert all the images to raw images before importing them to Proxmox VE. If there is a solution that I can import directly from VMDK, it would be better."
"The only disadvantage of Proxmox VE is that it is a young solution so it does have some bugs."
"There are some things that need to be done using the command-line interface, and these should be moved into the web-based interface."
"Proxmox VE needs improvement in cloud computing."
