We performed a comparison between DataCore SANsymphony and Springpath [EOL] 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)."It's quite easy to install."
"The StarWind tech support is extremely helpful, especially during the initial setup."
"Before VSAN, hypervisor configuration changes and updates resulted in VM outages. Now, downtime is dramatically reduced."
"StarWind vSAN has allowed us to grow rapidly while still providing flexibility and reliability."
"Speed and high availability have been the most valuable for us."
"The performance of the solution is accurate and concise."
"It has allowed me to effectively and confidently manage the maintenance of hosts where I can power off a host and have its VMs migrate to another one."
"Active-active work mode leads to true redundancy of storage and allows us to distribute the load between multiple nodes."
"Good security with this solution."
"Continuous data protection (CDP), can be used to "protect" again ransomware by recording all write on disk in a log. You can recover your data with incredible time granularity."
"The most useful feature of SANsymphony is that it's able to manage any brand of block storage."
"I found the solution to be very stable."
"Storage is always available."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"It is a stable solution."
"CDP is an important feature for avoiding data loss in the event of ransomware attacks. You need more storage capacity, however, you get the possibility to return at any time and use the data saved up to that point. The recovery is much faster than with a classic restore."
"Integration with vCenter WebClient services and Cisco UCS Ecosystem, as it gives a Single Pane Of Management which lowers administration-cost (improving TCO)."
"Updates seem to be non-existent."
"The most disappointing side of the application is the free edition. There used to be GUI attached. That has recently changed to only CLI management of the application."
"I wish they would improve the documentation for the beginner level as it's not very clear on the web page."
"They need to invest more in the support documents for real issues happening when integrating the solution with the hypervisor."
"The system performs as expected, but we're always looking for performance improvements regarding the best utilization of NVMe disks."
"I would like to see more advanced free versions."
"I am expecting to see it more user-friendly in the future."
"This is a great product."
"I think the performance reporting can be improved by adding historical statistics into a database for the purpose of comparing."
"We'd like to manage the raid on the disk directly in SanSymphony."
"One limitation of this solution is that it's Windows-based, e.g. one requirement to install DataCore SANsymphony SDS is putting it on a Windows server machine. It relies on Windows and that is a limitation because there are some customers who are looking for non Windows systems."
"NVMeoF should be implemented. This protocol will play a major role in storage infrastructure in the future."
"The main problem is there is no DataCore OS."
"Its interface could be better."
"Datacore is developing a new WebUI with new dashboards. It is a good idea as the classic GUI is lacking dashboards."
"DataCore SANsymphony should integrate file servers at a good price into the solution."
"Stability during installations/upgrades is a big issue."
