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."
"With an uptime of 384 days, StarWind has improved overall server reliability."
"StarWind SANs come with outstanding support."
"The ability to keep data accessible even in the event of hardware failures is highly valued, as it ensures business continuity."
"One of the most valuable features is the way it sets up the virtual SAN, because we don't have to buy a separate appliance for storage. It uses the existing storage on the servers, which is definitely a cost savings for us."
"The primary purpose of this software is to create a virtual SAN between local storage on Hyper-V hosts. I find this feature most valuable since it accomplishes this quite well."
"It provides shared storage to multiple hypervisor hosts. Times had changed, however. StarWind Virtual SAN is the “software replaces hardware” for SAN. We have access control and CCTV systems up and running using Microsoft clustering and shared storage"
"The control panel is nice. It gives you a lot of good feedback as to the status and health of the VSAN."
"Ease of deployment"
"Scaling is very easy and no limitations are set."
"The most valuable features are easy cloud administration and management."
"Everything is core centralized on the UI."
"Data locality provides super-fast data access and ultra-low latency."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS has very good stability."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is stable. We didn't receive any concerns regarding any problems, The customers have no concerns about the reliability."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure's most valuable features are all the cloud facilities or benefits it provides for my data center."
"The price is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's much cheaper than, for example, VMware."
"Stability and speed are the most valuable aspects."
"The platform is scalable, allowing for the installation of multiple nodes."
"One of the most valuable features of this solution is the popularity of the OS."
"This solution is very stable. Much more so than similar products."
"It is very stable."
"The most valuable features of RHEV are all the tools, such as virtualization, management of cloud platforms, and integration of container environments. The solution has good compatibility between virtualization, content management, and cloud management. Having the full set of these tools is the advantage of it."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward and well-documented. The process is very similar to its competitors. The success of your setup depends on how well you plan."
"Although minor, some of the documentation could be rewritten to be clearer."
"Security on the ISCSI protocol could be improved by adding features like OS-type control access, especially for the data center environment."
"This product would benefit from having automated alerting functionality."
"For me, the product could be improved by it being made cheaper."
"Sometimes documentation on their site can be out of date."
"The management console of StarWind Virtual SAN is pretty complex."
"This is a great product."
"StarWind relies on the underlying OS to manage the "SAN files" whether that would be a RAID volume, software RAID (such as LVM), etc. It would be useful if StarWind could incorporate the actual physical drive management inside of the solution, similar to Storage Spaces Direct."
"The licensing cost could be lower."
"Lacks sufficient integration with other vendors and public clouds."
"The patch updates of Nutanix Acropolis could be improved. I'm work on the corporate side, but I get feedback from our IT team that patch updates and other updates are taking a significantly longer time. This definitely needs to be resolved. We are in discussion with Nutanix regarding certain configuration issues we are having, so maybe something can be changed to ease these patch updates."
"I think some of the tasks that must be done using CLI could be added to the web interface."
"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."
"It would be great if it could emulate some of the features that their competitor VMware has, for example port mirroring or Netflow output at hypervisor level."
"I would like them to update their licensing to provide more features with their basic license."
"I'm not very technical, so I don't know if there are any features that are really lacking. Our customers seem pleased with it, and I haven't heard of any downsides."
"The support is tricky in a few places. We're facing some challenges within Malaysia where we don't really have the system integrators available who can provide extended support. When we need personnel on-site, we can't get them."
"In comparison to VMware, this solution isn't as stable. We're testing it right now, and we're not trusting the stability of the product."
"I heard that there are big differences between Red Hat eight and seven, but it's still quite difficult for me to judge it. I found it a bit more difficult to manage than version seven, which was much easier. In term of features, though, it is still not yet clear which is better. I have no clear idea of which features need to be changed at the moment."
"The UI should be more interactive with additional features."
"The solution has a very small lifecycle."
"The biggest improvement would be more third-party direct support for things like backups and provisioning through third-party portals."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"It lags behind in that you need to go to something like Fedora to get all the extra bells and whistles."
