Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Nutanix, VMware and others in HCI."The StarWind products have enabled our organization to modernize stations where larger and more expensive equipment was not an option."
"The ROI is great on this product."
"We are running Hyper-V on twin servers in failover, and being able to manage servers from anywhere I need to, virtually, has been a game changer."
"The performance of the solution is accurate and concise."
"Using our own choice of HW allowed us to price our service to answer our customers' needs."
"It has been extremely stable for the three years we've been running it."
"In addition to the main functions of the software, I want to note the excellent work of technical support."
"The customer support provided by StarWind is excellent."
"I find all the features of this solution excellent. The ability to move data to the public cloud is valuable."
"This solution allowed us to move from using standalone systems to having all our data center management in one place."
"The replication technology can move data faster than EMC MirrorView and requires less bandwidth. The Storage Virtualization technology is the most mature in the market, outside of IBM’s Storwize (which has a lot of compatibility issues, and EMC’s very expensive VPLEX solution); and it works."
"In our implementations, HDS Storage Virtualization has helped in migrating data with the least amount of downtime, compared to other storage technologies."
"They recommend RAID10 for HDD, which reduces the usable storage capacity."
"StarWind offers the Enterprise-level high availability (HA), deployed and easily configured .maintain and update and with little to no fuss, even the free version is incredibly capable whilst it brings a the cost of a Highly Available HCI solution down to a very cost effective point" Having used Starwind Virtual SAN for many years both for clients and for internal systems it has always done exactly what it set out to do, provide a cost effect way to run a HCI storage platform for almost any hypervisor, but it is most effective with Hyper-V, simple, easy to use, -.software monitoring should be web based to be reachable from any workstation in VLAN."
"If there was one feature I would like to see it would be a built-in subsystem for managing UPS backups shutdown procedures providing a way to initiate VM shutdown on all host servers, shut down the host servers, then put the fault-tolerant mirroring in standby, and finally shut down the StarWind SANs."
"It runs until it does not - and disaster recovery documentation is sparse and mostly unclear."
"We just need more integration with Veeam."
"Currently, the StarWind management console is a bit clunky to navigate and isn't the most user-intuitive interface."
"There is no IPv6 support. That is our only issue at this time."
"Some configuration options still demand service restarting."
"The pricing and the partnerships with AWS and Azure can be improved."
"An area for improvement would be technical support. In the next release, I would like to see more features added to make this a more complete solution."
"HDS reaches a ceiling depending on model. The G200 cannot transition to G400, the G400 can transition to G600 but cannot transition to G800, which is the top-end model."
"An update to its technology would be good. The G Series has been around for more than five years and HDS seriously needs to ramp up, since the competition has better performance at a lower cost with better features and functionalities. For example, it needs redirect on write Snapshot, preconfigured storage tiering with better IOPS, built-in deduplication technology on hybrid disk, etc."
