Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."Its great servicing high availability. That is what it is used for."
"The high performance of the solution is its most valuable aspect. If you compare it to other storage solutions, it's much better."
"It makes our file system sharing a lot easier, even across different continents. We have had file systems shared across different continents with no performance degradation."
"We are using it for monitoring all of our storage."
"It is incredibly scalable and stable."
"It has been pretty reliable throughout the years. As far as capacity is concerned, it can handle most heavy loads."
"GPFS monitoring is the best feature."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The single-pane-of-glass VMware interface makes configuration and management easy so you do not need IT specialists."
"Maybe it needs integration with HA."
"They should probably simply the Red Hat implementation portion. This portion was not as straightforward as I would like it to be."
"The solution's pricing could be better."
"It would be helpful if there was a graphical user interface that could walk you through the deployment process. The instructions surrounding setup aren't the best. They need to be more step-by-step."
"The biggest problem is that it is not able to provide block storage."
"I believe there is no graphic user interface, so they should include it."
"The main issue that we have now is with the encryption. They want to use more metrics in encryption, which is not working very well."
"Making it a little easier to add bad file sets would help. There is a transition to how you add storage and how you add a file set, so making that a little smoother would probably be my recommendation."
"A new company took over the product and now the support for Maxta has gone way downhill."
