Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."An advantage of SANsymphony is its ease of use, especially when installing or upgrading the system."
"Oracle OLTP benchmark to test how it improves the performance while using flash drive NVMe."
"DataCore SANsymphony's stability is okay."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The documentation repository is really useful and kept updated."
"It is a well-proven, automated management tool in all dynamic provisioning, auto-tiering, great performance, parallel I/O, cache speed mechanism, etc."
"It is a stable solution."
"Supporting of Automated-Storage-Tiering (AST) is a good feature that saves money."
"A very flexible solution."
"The solution is very stable."
"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."
"he interface and the installation makes it easy as it's all in one piece of hardware and it doesn't need to be connected to anything else."
"HPE StoreVirtual is very easy to use from the management console."
"Data is stored in two different places, leveraging more security and availability. Therefore, network problems are having less affect on iSCSI."
"The seamlessness behind the scenes of block management."
"It appears to be very stable and very robust."
"We are waiting for container support (on the roadmap), as well as a user-friendly full web-administration capability, and an improved API."
"The solution is constantly evolving."
"The graphical interface is not always very stable."
"If it could integrate to a cloud gateway, then we could carry it directly to storage, instead of having middleware in between the storage and the cloud."
"The main problem is there is no DataCore OS."
"NVMeoF should be implemented. This protocol will play a major role in storage infrastructure in the future."
"For customers or technicians who don't speak and understand English, it would be great to have other language support, all the more so given the number of countries in which SanSymphony is used."
"Having an enterprise "Storage Dashboard" that can show capacity, usage, performance, and any issues would be very beneficial."
"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."
"User interface could be improved."
"The GUI is a bit old-fashioned. It should be updated."
"The initial setup could be simplified to make it easier for new users."
"it would nice to have deduplication or compression, things that you have in some of the higher end products."
"The product is coming to end-of-life in the next three years."
"Product looks like it is in the end of development."
