Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."The product creates opportunities with hybrid on-premise solutions."
"Starwind support is excellent. They are very fast and have very good knowledge of Starwind and Hyper-V Cluster software."
"The ease of reaching the support team and their promptness for support is great."
"One of the standout features of StarWind.com is its remarkable ability to seamlessly integrate with Dell systems. This integration provides users with an unmatched level of convenience and compatibility, allowing for streamlined operations within a Dell environment. This compatibility factor alone can save significant time and effort for IT professionals, ensuring a smooth integration process and optimized performance."
"Immediately we noticed huge performance gains, even on older hardware and once we implemented a 10GB link between both servers, the sync was near-instant after the initial sync was complete."
"StarWind Virtual SAN can improve an organization's storage infrastructure by providing high availability, scalability, cost-effectiveness, performance, and ease of use."
"The Windows-based StarWind GUI is easy to use and understand and integrates seamlessly with VMware's vSphere portal as well."
"The fact that the solution is vendor-agnostic allows it to be used with any virtualization vendor while remaining a powerful abstraction over storage."
"In terms of scalability, adding a number of nodes, I find that it will not be any issues."
"Single click actions is definitely the most important. They were not even aware that they wanted this."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Acropolis AOS are storage and hyper-converged. The solution is easy to use and the administration is very good."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS has very good stability."
"One of the most valuable features is the One-Click Upgrade. When I need to update the system, I do it with one click. This product is amazing because everything is easy to manage, from network management to snapshots."
"This is a complete, very user-friendly product."
"The most valuable features are easy cloud administration and management."
"The solution is well integrated with other vendors."
"The installation is easy."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its stability."
"I think VirtualBox has good stability because I use it in an environment with several resolutions."
"This product is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"The versatility, simplicity, and stability of the product are it's most valuable features."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to copy bidirectionally between the desktop and the virtual machine."
"The solution has high performance and is easy to use."
"The documentation is good. However, if compared with competitors, it could be enhanced and made more professional."
"The most disappointing side of the application is the free edition. There used to be GUI attached. That has recently changed to only CLI management of the application."
"Management of VSAN itself could be improved. A Web UI for management would be great rather than an application installation. StarWind is testing a command center virtual appliance that I have installed in my environment."
"It should reclaim white spaces after big files are deleted."
"I would say that the documentation is mostly great, however, some features could be expanded upon a bit."
"Geolocation could be better, for example, for site mirroring for DR purposes."
"The only way I can see this product needing improvement is the consultation level of the StarWind sales and engineers."
"We ran into an issue with alerts."
"To have internal stability, we needed to network the solution ourselves. Performance depends on the application. Performance could be the lack of IOPS, memory and CPU and configuration issues."
"Nutanix should improve AHV to support migration VMs between clusters and storage containers. Migration between containers is possible, but it requires shutting down the VM. The procedure is long and there is no migration between clusters at all."
"There should be a little more access to Nutanix files."
"NCI's pricing is expensive."
"In the future, I would like Acropolis to add support for publishing external storage."
"If we can have certified compatibility with other companies, such as Oracle, then it would let us know that they function correctly together."
"We would like to see it support other systems outside of the compute stack from which it was built."
"In the next release, I would like better and more competitive pricing."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"I find the solution to be incredibly unstable, constantly falling over and not working properly."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"Basically, the GUI and command-line interface need improvement."
"The solution needs to improve the methods used for starting and stopping the machine."
"The solution is not flexible."
"This solution needs improvement with the business continuity planning, disaster and recovery management and using centralized data storage."
"The technical support needs to improve."
