Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, VMware, Nutanix and others in HCI."StarWind Virtual SAN is a highly flexible solution, as it can be deployed on physical servers or on top of virtual machines running on hypervisors such as VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V."
"The ability to choose our own hardware and our own vendors for this was hugely beneficial, as we had pre-existing relationships with vendors we wanted to maintain."
"We went from "no way DB applications would have good performance" to "Wow! We can now actually have a DB running and have some VMs running at the same time.""
"We can lose a site or even two of our three, and we would lose no data and have no outage."
"Virtualizing data infrastructure with StarWind Virtual SAN improves efficiency and reduces operational costs."
"Ten gigabit Ethernet compatibility, support, ease of use, and management are some positive features."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support. They are excellent and you can learn a lot from the support team."
"It has a nice, simple control panel. You can clearly see the state and health of storage along with the synchronization."
"The single-pane-of-glass VMware interface makes configuration and management easy so you do not need IT specialists."
"It's quite easy to scale, and you have the option to have distributed nodes everywhere around the world that work as one. You can also have a solution for small branch offices with only two nodes for redundancy, and that's good enough to start."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its software Move, which we use to migrate virtual info from another platform to the Nutanix platform."
"The most valuable features are easy cloud administration and management."
"Single-click upgrades are the most valuable feature. In the sector in which we work, it is tough to have downtime and arrange firmware upgrades."
"The solution is well integrated with other vendors."
"We like that the size of the box is 1U or 2U only, and all the servers are fit into that box. The ease of operation is there. All the servers and the SAN storage are inside the box."
"The most valuable features of Nutanix Acropolis AOS are ease of management, hyper-convergence platform, and it has robust operations."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"For the StarWind VSA vSphere solution, I would like to see a simpler and automated virtual machine installation process in terms of network settings."
"Besides not being able to use any filesystem, I do not have any additional cons."
"I would like an automated installation/configuration despite the fact that their service is very collaborative, a customer should be able to deploy the solution by themselves."
"There needs to be more visibility on how long the cloud replication will take as there is no current ETA."
"Currently, the StarWind management console is a bit clunky to navigate and isn't the most user-intuitive interface."
"While we had little to no issues in setting up StarWind and received excellent support from the StarWind technicians, we would have appreciated a clearer guideline for a setup with the free version of StarWind Management Console or, in other words - for the setup with the PowerShell."
"I would like them to invest time in reducing the complexity of the startup and shutdown procedure."
"We have, in rare cases, received conflicting guidance between different support folks within StarWind."
"A new company took over the product and now the support for Maxta has gone way downhill."
"In a hybrid cloud setup, we should be able to port our floors from on-premises to the public cloud and from the public cloud to on-premises."
"It's lacking in some features but overcompensating in others."
"In the licensing, it needs to be clear about features because it is not clear whether Flow is integrated or not."
"Regarding third-party backup solutions, the only agentless option is Commvault, which is expensive, complex, and requires intensive vendor training."
"I would like them to update their licensing to provide more features with their basic license."
"The compatibility and integration of Nutanix Acropolis AOS could be improved. For example, we have a WAF application firewall and it does not work on this solution. Not all the OS's run on AOS. You need to have a newer version of an operating system if you want Nutanix to perfectly run all the different options."
"Storage utilization and optimization should be better."
"The initial setup can be a bit difficult."
