"The seamlessness behind the scenes of block management."
"It's very stable and it's easy to use."
"The solution is very stable."
"Thin provisioning lets us get the most value from the hard drives."
"All of the administrative tasks are easy and everything is centralized."
"StoreVirtual is that it is our software-defined solution and it's everywhere."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any issues with glitches or bugs."
"A company can scale it easily."
"Compared to other products in this category that are competing with Dell EMC, Dell seems to us to always come out on top."
"They know how to clearly present any important data, including data flow and each drive's IOPS/bandwidth; and allow the user to easily monitor bottlenecks and problems"
"Automatic rebalancing is the feature saving administration time."
"We are using it as the primary virtualization storage (both for internal corporate users and external customers) for VMware and Hyper-V virtualization platforms."
"It is a costly solution."
"Product looks like it is in the end of development."
"One of the areas that need improvement is the consolidated management platform, to manage all of the nodes from one place and the licensing around that."
"User interface could be improved."
"f you're doing the 10Gb adapters, SFPs don't come with it, but it doesn't say that. It might say that somewhere else, but it's not clear."
"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."
"Configuration of application integrated snapshots for VMware is convoluted and it did not work immediately."
"Hardware and disk failures are happening frequently."
"There is room for improvement in the area of horizontal scaling."
"Ecosystem around the product: There is no built-in system for viewing history data, such as volume IOPS. We have to provide graphing by Prometheus and Grafana, which would be a good new feature in ScaleIO."
"If they could introduce a write cache feature, the product would be perfect overall."
"It would be nice to set minimum IOPS per volume, besides just the maximum, to be able to satisfy this demand from customers out-of-the-box, not by calculating number of disks, etc."
