Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."Thin provisioning lets us get the most value from the hard drives."
"The initial setup is straightforward, not a complex procedure."
"Data is stored in two different places, leveraging more security and availability. Therefore, network problems are having less affect on iSCSI."
"It's very stable and it's easy to use."
"A very flexible solution."
"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."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any issues with glitches or bugs."
"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."
"What I like the most are the high-availability and scalability."
"Their Google operating system is more mature, so their results are much better."
"In the world of IT operations, there is a lot of noise. Traditionally, systems would generate a great deal of alerts, events, and notifications, often leading to the operator either a) not seeing critical alerts since they are lost in the noise or b) disregarding the alerts/events."
"Most beneficial feature is simplicity, ease of use."
"One of the main features of the solution is that it works on many hypervisors. It is a big advantage. Additionally, the solution is compatible with VMware and Hyper-V, and the management interface, which is called Prism, is very intuitive and user-friendly."
"We are suggesting Nutanix to the management because of scalability and time efficiency."
"Its low maintenance is a key feature. It is easy to install, upgrade, and scale by adding more blocks."
"Some of the most valuable features of Nutanix Acropolis are that it's free from Nutanix and it's very stable."
"I would like to have this solution easily integrate with VMware."
"It is a costly solution."
"Configuration of application integrated snapshots for VMware is convoluted and it did not work immediately."
"The management aspect of the solution needs to be improved in order to make the product stronger."
"it would nice to have deduplication or compression, things that you have in some of the higher end products."
"Hardware and disk failures are happening frequently."
"The GUI is a bit old-fashioned. It should be updated."
"It would be nice if there were more parts available in Brazil and HPE could swap out faulty equipment quicker."
"While the customer support is truly incredible, for Spanish speakers it would be appropriate to have support in their native language to further improve problem-solving conditions."
"The patch updates of Nutanix Acropolis could be improved. I'm work on the corporate side, but I get feedback from our IT team that patch updates and other updates are taking a significantly longer time. This definitely needs to be resolved. We are in discussion with Nutanix regarding certain configuration issues we are having, so maybe something can be changed to ease these patch updates."
"There should be a little more access to Nutanix files."
"As Nutanix Acropolis AOS is on the expensive side, one of its areas for improvement is the price. It would also be better if it can be integrated with other cloud providers, because currently, it's only for private cloud deployment."
"We'd like to have more resource management."
"One thing I've noticed is that, when you do a shift from VMware to Nutanix, it opens the setup of the VM that's currently running. If people from another site double click on it, it opens the VM instead of the setup of the unit. So I would suggest that this could perhaps be switched. That is so far the only change I would like. I would like it if they could fix the instance where you double click on a VM and it opens the VM instead of the setup. That's the only thing that's a major bother to me."
"I feel like the flow chart and the automated processes have some room for improvement. They're nearly there, and the rest is fine. They've improved a lot over the past few years."
"We could always use a performance upgrade, or simplified management."
