Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."StarWind vSAN has a lot of great features and is a perfect solution for mirroring internal disks and flash between servers."
"The best part is the easy way it operates with a very clear GUI without any unnecessary items."
"We are running Hyper-V on twin servers in failover, and being able to manage servers from anywhere I need to, virtually, has been a game changer."
"It has been extremely stable for the three years we've been running it."
"In our case, the cost and high availability are the two most important factors which we were looking for in a solution."
"The ability to run the software virtually on every virtualization platform and the ability to eliminate all storage vendor locking are the most valuable features."
"Ten gigabit Ethernet compatibility, support, ease of use, and management are some positive features."
"The instant failover, with vSAN copying data to the second node, allowed for the continuous availability of our applications."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the concept of hyper-convergence."
"We find the setup quite straightforward and very easy."
"Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series' deployment is easy. We are a tier-one platinum partner who is into multiple implementations."
"The VX machines are scalable."
"Installation is straightforward because it's a vSAN. It only took one or two days."
"Feature-wise we are only waiting for the release of a "planned disaster" feature that would allow us to patch a hypervisor node without having to take the full storage offline."
"We would like the documentation to be more complete. Most items are covered, but if you don't know something, you may need to contact their support."
"Currently, the StarWind management console is a bit clunky to navigate and isn't the most user-intuitive interface."
"Diagnostics information or alerts on the state of systems could also be implemented to give more visibility."
"We don't really have any issues with this product."
"I had to buy upgraded support, which was not a problem, but it wasn't a prorated amount, so I paid for the support, the full upgrade, but I only got a couple of months out of it because it was only good until renewal time."
"StarWind really needs to market its product more."
"Initially, when we first started, the sync was horrible."
"Lenovo ThinkAgile MX Certified Node’s support services could be faster."
"The user management could be a bit better. It's something they could improve upon in future releases."
"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."
