Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."Commvault is a user-friendly tool, so most people are happy to adopt this solution."
"Some customers have chosen this solution for its features, benefits, and user-friendly interface."
"I do like that I can manage StarWind with a console running on my local desktop."
"The most valuable aspect of StarWind is the all-in-one solution that they provide."
"The full suite of redundancy gives a nice sense of security for the whole environment."
"The biggest thing we were looking for was redundancy, with both the compute and the storage, so that way we could lose a full node and still keep everything up and running, and not have to worry about it... StarWind was able to provide a solution for what we wanted, - to provide for redundancy."
"Customer service has been excellent. Any questions we have had have been answered quickly."
"The solution has provided our company with a fully redundant virtual environment at half the cost of a traditional SAN implementation."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the redundancy and its cost. I used to have a SAN, a Dell EMC EqualLogic. Unfortunately, it was they call an "inverted pyramid of doom." It was two or three hosts, two switches, and one storage array at the very bottom. But the SAN, the storage array at the very bottom, is a single point of failure..."
"The solution has easily deployed instances for multiple fast-paced projects."
"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."
"At the moment, the initial configuration is very technical and error-prone. That is the reason Starwind does it for you as a service, which is a great thing. But it would be nice if we could change or rearrange storage assignments ourselves."
"The only thing my team has recommended improving on is possibly a StarWind-customized GUI to monitor the overall system health, similar to 5nine Manager."
"We haven't had to use the ProActive Premium Support feature much yet. But they contacted me one time because there was a glitch on one server, a networking issue... I have not seen the problem since."
"This product is not one hundred percent enterprise-ready, so it is more suitable for SMB."
"The monitoring and reporting console can be improved in the sense that it can have more information on it."
"If I had to pick something to add to the product, it would be nice if you could have more than one user account on their command center VM."
"I'd like a better UI and some limitations on "breaking it.""
"I would request that the terms and conditions be reviewed and made more acceptable to corporate security so that we could finally turn on the proactive support feature, as it is included with our support agreement."
