Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."The most valuable features are high availability and real-time replication between two servers."
"StarWind allowed us to deploy highly available shared storage within our budget."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support. They are excellent and you can learn a lot from the support team."
"vSAN we found was simple to set up, easy to configure and manage and allows us to achieve storage redundancy."
"The product creates opportunities with hybrid on-premise solutions."
"Training is also easy as it is just one system to learn."
"We are able to execute maintenance on one server while the other is still running."
"VSAN works great; it's very easy to install, configure, and manage."
"The most valuable feature is that you can manage the whole cluster from the traffic interconnect."
"The scalability of the product is quite good overall - as long as you plan correctly from the outset."
"It's easy to get the tool started."
"This is not the only product we use, so we have other solutions to compare it with. We can compare different products and different vendors and tell our customers which products have which advantages and disadvantages so that they can leverage these products in their own environment. This product helps us to understand the customer's needs and what issues they can run into."
"It is a solution that best suits thre needs of our organization."
"The workload can handle anything and has an extended capacity."
"The technical support has been very good for this solution."
"It consumes a smaller footprint when I compare it with other competitors."
"The solution shows us classic categories, including high, medium, and low risks. It also shows critical items, and that gives us the advantage of prioritizing things."
"Intuitive and easy to use."
"Provides great functionality."
"Tech support is helpful."
"The Vulnerability Management and Patch Management features are the most valuable features of this solution."
"It is a stable solution."
"Technical support is fantastic."
"It gives a very good overview of the inventory assessment process, and it can be accessed across our company because it's a global tool."
"If there are domain controllers inside the cluster, there needs to be some sort of logic allowing them to boot independently so all the rest of the domain clients can gain the authority they need to come online."
"The logs can also become very noisy when there is an issue, which is very infrequent."
"The documentation could be clearer in terms of explaining the installation."
"StarWind really needs to market its product more."
"Maybe in the future, the replication will be supported in more cloud providers."
"A central management console may be nice to see all nodes."
"Management tools could be improved, sometimes the usage seems to be slowed down and confusing. A native web interface could also be an option. I love to see in the future port of the software on a general Linux distribution like RedHat or Ubuntu in order to avoid windows license costs. I would also like to see features like erasure coding implemented. On the VSAN software, I would like to see some improvements in the storage pools (eliminate the usage of the file as a data container and use the raw partition)."
"I would like an automated installation/configuration despite the fact that their service is very collaborative, a customer should be able to deploy the solution by themselves."
"We'd like the product to offer better integration with other products."
"The initial setup can be complex."
"Their technical support is very bad. We had an issue where instead of an engineer we got a PDF "doctor" that didn't know anything about our problem which was very frustrating."
"Unlike other options, you need to pay a subscription to Cisco yearly instead of paying for the hardware outright, which makes it more expensive in the long run."
"The setup was complex, especially since we usually do all the planning, sizing, and workflows before integration."
"I would rate the installation of Cisco HyperFlex HX-Series an eight out of ten. It can be complex."
"The initial setup could be faster, due to the prerequisites."
"Its price could be better."
"I would like to see this solution more developed and competitive in the Cloud space."
"I do not like that all of the data is stored on the cloud."
"Qualys Container Security can improve the interface. It could be easier to navigate and be enriched."
"Qualys does have an on-prem solution, but it is very expensive."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
"Improve the user interface."
"It's quite complex on the way it is set up, so it takes a fair bit of time in order to get your head around it in order to deploy it. Once you've deployed it, then you're never confident on the versions of the browsers and the SSL certificates, etc. You have to always go back into Qualys and check."
"The price could be better. Asset view is still a legacy feature. I'm not able to extract the information about the asset with complete details. It would be better if they fixed that in the next release. I know Qualys is already working on it, so I'm hopeful it will be available in the next five or six months. That would be something that's changed where I seek improvement."
