Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."Some customers have chosen this solution for its features, benefits, and user-friendly interface."
"Commvault is a user-friendly tool, so most people are happy to adopt this solution."
"It provides transparency, because of its advanced copy features."
"The abstraction flair and the abstraction layer. We had a mixture of different storage arrays, and the wonderful thing about SVC is is that it normalizes all it into a single driver. A single view that all hosts see simultaneously."
"The most valuable feature is its reliability."
"I like that it can virtualize more than three hundred storage providers."
"The ability to have a feature-rich software set which extends the capabilities of the back-end storage arrays."
"We are happy with the support that IBM provides us."
"We can failover easily, because a lot of our data is replicated from family to the second replication."
"The scalability is very good. It can handle anywhere from very small to large enterprise class."
"NAS backups and BNP protocol backups could be improved. We require some more advanced features. I would also like some features that would enable us to deploy faster, like an orchestrator or something."
"The solution does not support some cloud SaaS applications and has room for improvement with better integration to the storage array."
"In general, the migration is complicated. Though, it is case-by-case."
"Level 1 technical support needs improvement."
"I already discussed possible improvements with some of the guys from Hearnsley. One of our frustrations is when you go to expand volumes in a global mirror environment, you have to stop everything in order to expand. So that's one of the things."
"I would like to see more baseline replication and integration with the operating system between Vmware and IBMI."
"GUI should be developed in HTML5 as opposed to Java."
"NBME support and support for a higher Fibre Channel lengths could be improved, but those are already on the roadmap."
"Tighter integration with cloud storage might be useful as a target for a variety of use cases."
"The solution could have a better built-in performance monitor."
