"The product creates opportunities with hybrid on-premise solutions."
"Virtualizing data infrastructure with StarWind Virtual SAN improves efficiency and reduces operational costs."
"In the three years that we have been using StarWind, the product has yet to cause us any problems."
"The software is easy to setup and manage, and the support is excellent."
"Being hardware agnostic is a must and definitely scored points for us."
"Updates to server hardware are now painless and done during working hours with zero stress. We had a RAID failure a few months back, and nobody in the building even noticed and there was no after hours time used for repair."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Acropolis AOS is it has centralized management."
"I definitely find the reduced power consumption very valuable."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure has a simple, user-friendly GUI, and I also like the remote recovery capabilities. It provides a single platform for managing databases."
"Acropolis has a great interface and lots of management features packaged with it at an affordable price."
"The scalability is great."
"One of the most valuable features is the One-Click Upgrade. When I need to update the system, I do it with one click. This product is amazing because everything is easy to manage, from network management to snapshots."
"The administration console, automation, and the first cluster are all valuable features."
"The simplicity when it comes to building your own automation has been excellent."
"The cloning is a great feature and live migration is very easy."

"It's easy to adjust the size up and down."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I don't need to create a repository to allocate storage to my virtual machine, rather I can just use store locally."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"It is highly esteemed for its ability to efficiently optimize and enhance the operational speed and responsiveness of virtualized environments."
"What I like best about this product is that it's free."
"Ongoing improvements in read and write performance would help meet increasingly demanding workloads."
"The number of different ways you can set it up can make it a little daunting."
"Ability to to test the virtual storage are network area and storage speed from StarWind Management Console."
"They need to invest more in the support documents for real issues happening when integrating the solution with the hypervisor."
"The documentation is good yet is still lacking in a few areas."
"While it is possible to implement disk encryption in StarWind using Windows Bitlocker, such a solution can be a little tricky to manage."
"StarWind offers the Enterprise-level high availability (HA), deployed and easily configured .maintain and update and with little to no fuss, even the free version is incredibly capable whilst it brings a the cost of a Highly Available HCI solution down to a very cost effective point" Having used Starwind Virtual SAN for many years both for clients and for internal systems it has always done exactly what it set out to do, provide a cost effect way to run a HCI storage platform for almost any hypervisor, but it is most effective with Hyper-V, simple, easy to use, -.software monitoring should be web based to be reachable from any workstation in VLAN."
"It would be nice to see a new UI for the windows client, as it is not the easiest to find settings."
"There is a feature that exists used for disaster recovery, but it requires an extra license. It should be included with the regular normal standard license."
"Could have better visibility with the main OEM backup integrators."
"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."
"The ability to create clusters faster would be nice to see in a future release."
"In the licensing, it needs to be clear about features because it is not clear whether Flow is integrated or not."
"I would like to see official compatibility with Red Hat in the future."
"The documentation could be improved."
"If they can simplify the software slightly for the installation, that would make all the difference."
"There are currently issues with centralized storage."
"You need to have a model for documentation available for the users. Right now, if you have to search for some troubleshooting, you need to have Oracle login. Many personnel might not have that login. The reach, the availability of information to the end-user, is not there."
"The usage could be easier, and more user-friendly."
"Oracle VM is not very stable. When you encounter any issue, it's unclear what is happening."
"The solution needs more features and flexibility in terms of communicating with other platforms. If it had that, it would be the perfect product."
"The automatic start of the product to work as a background process has shortcomings and needs improvement."
"I think more Command-Line options for the product, for deployments."
"This solution is not as stable as other solutions in the market. But, Oracle has made an effort to improve these issues with recent updates."
