Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."I guess on the top of the list is certainly ease of use."
"All of the administrative tasks are easy and everything is centralized."
"Simplicity of not having to buy FC or FCoE SAN. Instead, we buy servers with their own storage."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any issues with glitches or bugs."
"Thin provisioning lets us get the most value from the hard drives."
"HPE StoreVirtual is very easy to use from the management console."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it is hardware independent."
"Data is stored in two different places, leveraging more security and availability. Therefore, network problems are having less affect on iSCSI."
"This is a complete, very user-friendly product."
"I like NCI's dashboard. If there are any infrastructure issues, we'll get alerts inside the dashboard. NCI provides a single platform for managing all of our databases. We are running SQL and Linux databases."
"Nutanix does a superb job with technical support."
"The level of statistical performance data that it can confirm in real-time is extremely useful. I can see what my VM’s hosts and guests are doing from a single pane of glass and identify issues before they would otherwise become apparent."
"The virtualization environment is now much easier to manage and maintain, there is only one vendor to call in case of issues and one single console to manage everything."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is flexible and has helped people to work from home during the pandemic."
"Management is simple"
"The stability is good. This is the number-one product in that regard."
"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."
"I would like to have this solution easily integrate with VMware."
"It is a costly solution."
"it would nice to have deduplication or compression, things that you have in some of the higher end products."
"It would be nice if there were more parts available in Brazil and HPE could swap out faulty equipment quicker."
"The solution needs to ensure it is on par with the industry in terms of availability of features and various other options."
"The penalty for the availability is performance. So, you have to balance or choose between the availability and the performance."
"User interface could be improved."
"The ability to create clusters faster would be nice to see in a future release."
"This solution would be improved with built-in integration with Rubrik."
"Nutanix needs to improve network features like Passthrough – SR-IOV. It could be improved by supporting SR-IOV, if they had that support, I would not have needed to implement the VMWare vSAN."
"Some clients find the solution's cost to be too high."
"The product needs improvement in the areas of SAN attachment for high capacity and high I/O profile workloads."
"I would like to see more Kubernetes and container-related workflows and multiple cloud-partner management. I would also like to see how they will synergize all these AI/ML functionalities that are available on other platforms."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS could improve by having an auto-update feature. At this time I have to update each system manually. However, I bought the standard license and I did not buy the maximum license they have available. There could be a certain license that does the updates automatically."
"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."
