We performed a comparison between HPE StoreVirtual, IBM Spectrum Accelerate, and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."The solution is very stable."
"Data is stored in two different places, leveraging more security and availability. Therefore, network problems are having less affect on iSCSI."
"I guess on the top of the list is certainly ease of use."
"The network RAID feature gives us maximum availability, since we cannot afford any downtime, even for a second."
"Simplicity of not having to buy FC or FCoE SAN. Instead, we buy servers with their own storage."
"It's very stable and it's easy to use."
"Thin provisioning lets us get the most value from the hard drives."
"It allows compute and storage to operate separately, and has the ability to take SAN nodes out of production for maintenance with little effort and zero downtime."
"The most valuable feature is the robustness, which is typical of IBM because their software generally just works."
"The ease of use is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's very user-friendly."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure has a simple, user-friendly GUI, and I also like the remote recovery capabilities. It provides a single platform for managing databases."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS makes it easy to use and manage projects and it has a good reputation."
"The most valuable aspect of Nutanix is the performance of the storage, which is excellent. And controlling compute, storage, the network, and security all together in one box is very efficient for us. It gives us a single platform to manage our all infrastructure."
"The solution is very stable. We haven't had any issues."
"One-Click Upgrade and Foundation is the most valuable feature. One-Click Upgrade makes upgrades and LCM a breeze. Prior to Nutanix One-Click Upgrade, upgrades and LCM were overly cumbersome and time-consuming. Foundation provides an easy, yet very structured, approach to cluster modification (adding or removing nodes)."
"The fact that there is only one interface to deploy a complete solution for maximum storage is fantastic."
"The tool is simple, stable, and easy to upgrade. It also requires few resources to manage, which simplifies our work. The solution's ease of upgrading is its valuable feature. AHV, provided by Nutanix, is excellent in performance and ease of use. It's based on an open-source product called KVM, which I also use for other services."
"The ease of deployment is very good."
"Hardware and disk failures are happening frequently."
"In our country, Qatar, most of the industry isn't using too much HP. StoreVirtual doesn't move fast. It's not a popular product."
"The penalty for the availability is performance. So, you have to balance or choose between the availability and the performance."
"The product is coming to end-of-life in the next three years."
"It would be nice if there were more parts available in Brazil and HPE could swap out faulty equipment quicker."
"I would like to have this solution easily integrate with VMware."
"It is a costly solution."
"f you're doing the 10Gb adapters, SFPs don't come with it, but it doesn't say that. It might say that somewhere else, but it's not clear."
"The reporting mechanisms need improvement."
"he interface is not user-friendly so the ease of use could be improved."
"We have a team that does the implementation of the solution for our customers, it is better to have professionals handle the process."
"The product requires a lot of resources."
"The scalability of Nutanix Acropolis AOS needs improvement."
"Compatible with third party hardware, but it's still very limited."
"The GUI of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could be improved that can be done from the OEM side. It's a very basic stable web browser that they're using. It is not very inclusive."
"There is a feature that exists used for disaster recovery, but it requires an extra license. It should be included with the regular normal standard license."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure lacks compatibility with certain older processors."
"We would like to see it support other systems outside of the compute stack from which it was built."
