Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."PowerShell library is pretty good feature as I created with APC PowerChute a script to put volumes on maintenance mode then turning off the StarWind nodes together with the VM and Hosts when UPS reaches 15 percent, this way after a blackout or electrical problems when turning servers on again, there is no issues for syncing or data loss due to energy interrupts."
"Speed and high availability have been the most valuable for us."
"It's quite easy to manage."
"StarWind vSAN has a lot of great features and is a perfect solution for mirroring internal disks and flash between servers."
"The solution is also quite flexible. As an example, other vSAN solutions that we looked at had more stringent requirements regarding mixed HDD/SSD storage which wouldn't have worked in our environment."
"The product creates opportunities with hybrid on-premise solutions."
"Virtual SAN runs on iSCSI, which is free and easy to configure. It's easy to manage from StarWind's GUI console, and it only required a few extra switch ports."
"The product has improved the ability to mimic physical SAN environments to demo scenarios and troubleshoot problems."
"The most valuable features of the Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series are the ease of use and simple configuration."
"The initial setup is simple. We were able to deliver the hyper-convergence solution in a very good time."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the product's deployment phase is pretty easy."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the concept of hyper-convergence."
"I wish they would improve the documentation for the beginner level as it's not very clear on the web page."
"For me, the product could be improved by it being made cheaper."
"It should be improved in the way it detects the right filesystem image after a complete shutdown of the system or in the case of disaster recovery."
"One main thing this product needs to work on is reporting."
"I wish there was online support because email return takes a long time and a faster solution should be found."
"There needs to be more visibility on how long the cloud replication will take as there is no current ETA."
"The documentation could be a little more concise, but, for the most part, it just works."
"It would help if the manufacturer provided clearer and more detailed documentation, with explanations of how the application can be installed in various HA configurations."
"Here in Nigeria, the only challenge that we have, which I think is also experienced globally is the delay in bringing in the spare parts. This is a challenge facing our country, such as the Forex market. However, this is beyond the control of Lenovo themselves."
"There is a delay in the availability of similar versions of firmware from both the products, which are VMware and Nutanix for Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series, due to the delayed releases from both products, maybe by a quarter or so."
"Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series could improve by having better integration with the solutions from VMware and vCenter"
"Lenovo ThinkAgile MX Certified Node’s support services could be faster."
